Where things stand the morning after #ElectionDay:

πŸ—³ Prop 119 (increase pot taxes for private, out-of-school learning opportunities): Appears to fail.

Supporters of 119 on Tuesday night conceded defeat.
πŸ—³ Prop 120 (property tax cut): Appears to fail.

By 8:45 p.m. Tuesday, 120 had the support of only about 43 percent of voters, and backers conceded it looked likely to fail.

That figure has stayed steady through the latest counts early Wednesday morning.
πŸ—³ Amendment 78 (would have given the state legislature direct authority over more aspects of state spending): Appears to fail.

Because 78 would change the state constitution, it needs at least 55% of the vote to pass. 78's organizer conceded that was unlikely to happen.
In Denver, these results from Tuesday night have stayed steady through Wednesday morning:

2A - 2E: A $450M bond package that would allow the city to pay for building/maintaining/improving numerous city projects and cultural institutions.

2A: City facilities
2B: Housing and shelters
2C: Transportation
2D: Parks and rec

Those all appear to be passing.
2E: $190M to build a new, 10,000 arena in Elyria-Swansea and upgrade the National Western Center, appears to fail.
2F: The one that would limit how many unrelated people can live together (...roommates) appears to fail.

Supporters conceded defeat Tuesday night.

That means up to five unrelated adults can still live together (2F passing would have reduced that number).
2G: The one that would allow a citizen oversight board to select Denver's Independent Monitor β€” rather than being appointed by the mayor β€” appears to pass.

Denver's Independent Monitor = Denver's law enforcement watchdog
2H: The one about moving municipal elections from May to April β€” appears to pass.

The reason behind moving the election up a month: the Clerk and Recorder's office would have more time to prepare ballots and be in compliance with state and federal laws for a runoff.
300: The one about marijuana taxes for pandemic research β€” appears to fail.

300 would raise taxes on recreational pot sales by 1.5 percent, or $7 million annually, to pay for local pandemic research through the University of Colorado Denver CityCenter.

But...
...The CityCenter team had not heard of the initiative before it was submitted to the ballot and has no current plans to run such a program.
301 + 302 are the ones about development on the Park Hill Golf Course.

301 appears to pass, 302 appears to fail.

I'll let @RebeccaSpiessL explain this one to you:

denverite.com/2021/11/02/den…
303 β€” the one that sought to add two measures to the city's existing urban camping ban (and was ruled partly unlawful by a Denver District Court on Sunday) β€” appears to fail.
304 β€” the one that would lower Denver's sales and use tax from 4.81% to 4.5% and cap it there β€” appears to fail.

That's going to be about it here for us this Election Day.

But first, a quick recap.
Colorado had three statewide ballot measures this year.

As of right now, it appears that voters have voted down all of them.
Now, just a reminder, CPR News is not calling these races, nor is the Associated Press.

But it certainly looks like the three statewide measures have a pretty steep hill to climb if they are to pass.

And in the case of Proposition 119, supporters have conceded defeat.

Good morning. It's Election Day in Colorado!

A quick 🧡 about today #Election2021:
First: It's an off-year election. That means no marquee races and only a limited number of statewide ballot measures (in this case, three).

But locally (certainly in Denver), there's plenty of issues for you to weigh in on.
Next: It's way too late to mail back your ballot.

Find a ballot drop box, or polling place near you: sos.state.co.us/pubs/elections…

If you're in line by 7pm, you'll be able to vote.

If you haven't registered to vote yet, you can register AND vote today.

NEW: With Colorado COVID cases and hospitalizations rising, Gov. Polis signed a new health order late Sunday night that allows hospitals to refuse some patients.
There are nearly 1,200 COVID-19 patients hospitalized in Colorado β€” the most since December 2020.
Nearly 80 percent of those hospitalized with coronavirus are unvaccinated, and almost 40 percent of hospitals expect to be short staffed during the next week.

1/ More than 500 teachers, staff, students and parents from across the state have shared w/us their thoughts on schools reopening during #covid19colorado. It's a complicated conversation.

As the school year approaches, we'll keep adding to this thread. Here's what you've told us
2/

"I think Mesa County D51 is making a huge mistake. I'm a teacher there & have 3 kids in 3 schools. We'll be doing online for them bc our rate has been climbing and I don't feel they have an actual plan in place. There's nothing at all in their plan concerning SPED kids."
3/

"As a teacher, I want to be back in my classroom so badly. I didn't enjoy remote learning. I missed being with my students. I'm also really afraid to return to school. Many don't realize how difficult it will be to follow all the protocols. I feel I'm in a no-win situation."
