The June 30 primary election in Colorado was marked by a massive turnout — more than 1.45 million ballots cast, representing over 41 percent of the electorate — and a mix of expected results and grabby surprises.

Among the expected outcomes was a win by ex-Colorado governor John Hickenlooper, who earned the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate (and the right to compete against Republican incumbent Cory Gardner) after overcoming a spirited challenge from Andrew Romanoff.

The biggest surprise? Lauren Boebert, a Rifle restaurateur, appears to have unseated Representative Scott Tipton by attacking him from the right — a strategy that has her well-positioned for victory in November (her district is decidedly conservative) and congressional notoriety.

The following results from the Colorado Secretary of State's Office, updated at 3:03 a.m., are unofficial — but only a handful of races are so close that their outcome is in doubt. Here are the vote counts for federal offices, as well as all of the contests for the state Board of Education, University of Colorado regents, and the Colorado Senate and House:
