Okay, so it isn't the 97% of 2012. But I'll take it. Especially because, once again, Nate Silver isn't better than me (we tied this time, counting his U.S. Senate Predictions).
This election was not decided on Election Night in Colorado. Had we gone based on Election Night results, Colorado would now have a Republican Governor, a 20R-15D Senate Majority, and a 33R-32D House Majority. That... didn't exactly happen, now did it?
This is why early returns are, frankly, unimportant! I watched way too many people get their hopes up. That smashing 7%+ victory for Cory Gardner on Election Night? It was actually just under 2%. It wasn't a blowout. Beauprez winning? Nope. He lost by 3.35%. Taking the State House? Ha... no. And we barely have a Senate Majority. Don't forget that it took weeks for Adams County to finish counting, and that there was one seat within the margins for an automatic recount in Southwest Colorado (House District 59), although the ultimate result there didn't change.
Below is a brief review of the final election results. Results may be found on the Secretary of State's website.
