Making the call

We want to stress that these are all unofficial results — ballots are still being counted, and will be until next week. Boulder County gets a lot of ballots on Election Day: 49,000 in the 2021 election! 

While checking the “official” unofficial numbers from county and state reports, we’re also trying to figure out how likely things are to change. That’s because election officials don’t “call” races: We do. 

It’s an inexact science. Or, more accurately, math. We calculate the likelihood of outcomes changing based on a bunch of data: how many ballots have been returned versus how many have been counted and how many more are likely to be coming in, based on historic turnout and other factors. 

All that to say: Everything on this page is subject to change. It ain’t truly over until every ballot is counted.

For the most up-to-date results, check the Secretary of State’s website.
