Colorado Votes: 965,000 Mail in Votes on Tuesday, October 30, 2012

Approximately half the expected mail-in vote arrived at county clerk offices on Tuesday, a week before Election Day, Nov. 6.

The substantial mail-in vote suggests a final turnout higher than the 2.4 million voters of four years ago.  More than 70 percent of the total vote will be completed by mail or early voting.  Also, the close partisan breakdown indicates President Obama will not win the state by the 200,000 vote-margin he received in 2008.  This election will be decided by one percent or less of the vote, or fewer than 27,000 votes.
