The November 3, 2020, election in Colorado looked different from the elections that took place in many other states across the nation. While key Republicans held their ground in supposedly competitive races across the country, Colorado Democrats rode yet another substantial blue wave.

There were exceptions, however: Say hello to U.S. Representative Lauren Boebert.

The results of Colorado's election aren't yet official, but as of 4:30 a.m. November 4, when the latest update was shared by the Colorado Secretary of State's Office, the vast majority of votes are in, with county tallies typically in the 80 to 90 percent range. At that time, 2,953,577 votes had been cast among 3,780,115 active voters, for an astonishing 78.13 percent turnout.

The contest for president in Colorado was no contest: Joe Biden won this state easily, with more than 55 percent of the vote compared to Trump's 41 percent-plus. A bevy of hopefuls divided the remaining crumbs, and despite the importance of the outcome, a degree of joke voting appears to have persisted — unless 6,254 Coloradans were serious about wanting Kanye West to become Commander-in-Chief.

Likewise, former governor John Hickenlooper crushed Republican incumbent Cory Gardner to become Colorado's latest U.S. Senator; the current margin between the two is currently just under 10 percent.

The races for seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, meanwhile, generally followed form. The 3rd Congressional District, where Boebert had ousted incumbent Scott Tipton in the primary, has been considered safe GOP territory for at least a decade, and that proved true again despite a fiery campaign by Democrat Diane Mitsch Bush.

However, things changed with the University of Colorado Board of Regents, where Democrats will be in the majority after many years of Republican control.

Of the eleven ballot measures considered by voters, ten are leading in the current county, with one outright rejected: Proposition 115, yet another attempt to limit abortions. But Proposition 114, which would allow the reintroduction of gray wolves on public lands, holds such a slender lead that it can't be considered a lock.
