Summary
Colorado’s primary election delivered nail-biting drama as early leads vanished and races dragged on for days—most notably in the GOP gubernatorial race, where Victor Marx eked out a razor-thin win after nearly nine days of counting. Democratic hopeful John Hickenlooper’s comfortable early lead evaporated as more ballots arrived, revealing deeper party fractures. Turnout surged to 36%—driven by a rare lineup of statewide races—and unaffiliated voters, who outnumber Democrats and Republicans combined, overwhelmingly backed the Dems (72% vs. 28%). Surprises abounded, including a young challenger ousting a veteran Rep., while late votes widened margins in several key contests—proving every vote still matters, even in the final tally.
