Democrats had a good night last night, with projected victories across all four major state offices and TK of the state’s eight congressional districts. But Election Day was not just about who won top offices. Voters also weighed in on congressional seats and ballot measures that could shape the state’s future. Here’s a breakdown of the results as of 11:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov 3., according to the Colorado Secretary of State’s election results and Denver Elections Division. Many races are still too close to call. Leading candidates and causes have green checks, though final counts are pending.
