Whoa...
I hope that this bit of news changes the make up of the CO 6th CD.
Monday was a hectic day at election offices throughout the metro area as officials scrambled to process last minute voter registration forms.The last minute rush brought some big surprises, especially in Arapahoe County.
"For the first time ever, the Democrats have more registered voters than Republicans," said County Clerk and Recorder Nancy Doty.
Arapahoe County has long been a bastion for the GOP.
"I'm surprised," Doty said. "But the Democratic Party has been registering voters and they've been very enthusiastic, with a lot of passion."
Doty said that as of midday Monday there were 112,200 Republicans and 112,400 Democrats. She said 107,000 voters are unaffiliated. Those numbers could change once last minute registrations are tallied.
In Jefferson County, the GOP still holds a substantial edge. There are 126,525 Republicans and 115,127 Democrats. There are 121,727 voters unaffiliated in Jefferson County.
