Republicans in Colorado are continuing to outpace Democrats in early ballot returns, growing their lead with ballots returned as of this morning.

Surprisingly, Republicans are winning both the mail-in/absentee ballot returns AND early voting.

According to a Colorado Peak Politics source with access to ballot return numbers, the figures are as follows:

Total:

R: 187,824 (39.7%)

D: 171,971 (36.3%)

U: 108,421 (22.9%)

Mail-In/Absentee Ballots

R: 172,461

D: 158,139

U: 98,532

Early Voting

As a reminder, the latest Denver Post poll of Colorado has Romney winning Unaffiliateds 43/39

Advantage, still Romney.

Brandon Rittiman of 9News had a great analysis piece yesterday comparing 2008 turnout to 2012 turnout. What he found was Republicans have a 9 point-swing in their favor this year.

    $100 billion and counting flushed down the green crapper by Obama. Uneconomic, unreliable and requiring massive taxpayer subsidies, all recycled failures from Jurassic Park.

    Drill, baby, drill!!!

    Yes! Yes! By all means! Double down on stupid is always the right play. Right Cyrus? I mean, leadership and competence are highly overrated! Right Mr. Tashakkori?

    It's the number of ballots turned in by members of each party.

    How is this calculated? I'm sure returns haven't been released. Is this simply the number of registered Republicans/Democrats who have voted?
