OK, Colorado. Let’s see what you have to say.

With the first vote drop from Weld County, Republican Barb Kirkmeyer is taking the Weld portion of the new #CO08 by 56.8 to 39.4 over Dem Yadira Caraveo. Libertarian Richard Ward is capturing 3.8%.

Kirkmeyer needs to run up her vote share in Weld to win.

#copolitics

Kirkmeyer is ahead by less than 10,000 votes in the Weld portion of #CO08. But it’s unclear how much of the total Weld vote these numbers represent. #copolitics

In Colorado HD50, incumbent Dem Rep. Mary Young is ahead 51.1 to 45.5 over Republican Ryan Gonzalez. Young has a lead of 641 votes. #copolitics

In the Adams County portion of #CO08, Dem Yadira Caraveo leads Republican Barb Kirkmeyer 55.7 to 40.3. Caraveo leads by about 14,000 votes.

Adams so far is lifting Caraveo over Kirkmeyer for the seat, 49.4 to 46.7.

Libertarian Richard Ward playing spoiler with 3.9%
