What we know so far: A Lakewood Police Department agent was killed and three others were wounded after a man open fired on them while boarding a Regional Transportation District bus at a busy metro Denver intersection Thursday night. denverpost.com/2026/11/05/la…
Our latest here - Boebert seems to be running out of paths, despite vague assertions by Scott Gessler of “very unusual voting patterns.” Margin is 3X the auto-recount trigger.

Democrat Jessica Killin defeats incumbent U.S. Rep. Jeff Crank in Colorado’s 5th Congressional District race.
A Democrat has never represented this district.

In 2024, Lauren Boebert made the unusual move to switch from representing the more competitive CO-03 to run in CO-04, Colorado's reddest seat.
Ironically, she is now an underdog to win in 2026, while her successor, Jeff Hurd (R), is probably a favorite to hold on.

Statement from Amendment 87 camp, which is seeing its measure to increase income taxes on high earner teeter on a knife’s edge:
“Whatever the final tally shows, this effort has fared better than any other income tax change that has gone before Colorado voters since TABOR.”

Rep. Hurd may be the lone R in a 7-1 House delegation from Colorado when all the dust settles. But there's more dust to settle tomorrow.
I’ve seen enough - @jeff4colorado wins CO-CD3.
Based on what’s left to count and what counties those ballots are from, Romero can’t make up the gap.
Sherri Wright for CD3 State Board of Ed also clinches it.
A silver lining to an otherwise dark electoral cloud.
