![]() Alan, what do you think? Where are we at in this race?Īlan Salazar: Well, truth in advertising: My focus has been on the transition. I hold on to my mail ballot so I can see all the the campaign mailers coming my way. ![]() I suspect that's because we have two candidates that are more alike than not, but I think the campaign overall is relatively well baked at this point.ĭel Puerto: Thank you. I think it's been a pretty good campaign and not quite as rough and tumble as some would have expected. But I think most voters are probably pretty well aware of what's going on. ![]() I want to see what the campaigns are doing. I hold mine to the very last minute, so I can get the last piece of mail, the last digital ads.

But we'll see if there are surges in some of the geographies that overlaid with some of the candidates' successes and the general. But at this point, we're seeing more Democrats voting than unaffiliateds or Republicans, which makes sense in a city like Denver. So, in the next six days, we'll see how the turnout shapes up, but without voter registration data, without very much public polling, without partisan registration among the candidates, it's pretty hard to predict how this is going to shake out. It looks like there is some enthusiasm, but Denver voters have become habituated to the mail ballot system, and a lot of people are hanging on to their homework until the last day, here. We're six days out, we have 12% voter turnout so far. Ian Silverii: Here from Lakewood, observing (from) just to the west, so I have no skin in the game - just a political observer this time.
