El Paso Leads Ballot Returns in State | Denver News

El Paso County is topping the state in ballot returns ahead of Tuesday’s primaries, while Jefferson County leads Denver in voter turnout percentage. Campaign energy is soaring, especially among Democrats eager to rally behind candidates early — a rare move for the party. Republicans are hitting the streets hard with door-knocking and “honk and wave” events, aiming to flip legislative seats and shape policy. The GOP governor’s race is heating up with Kirkmeyer, Bottoms, and Marx in the spotlight, all hoping for a tough 35% turnout despite June’s vacation slump. Don’t forget: ballots must be in by 7 PM Tuesday — no postmarks allowed. Drop boxes and voter centers are open everywhere. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
