Colorado’s most expensive and bitterly contested statehouse primary race has also turned out to be its closest.
most expensive and bitterly contested statehouse primary raceElisabeth Epps took the lead Wednesday over Katie March in the Democratic primary for House District 6. Ballot returns posted just before 5 p.m. showed Epps with 7,460 votes and March with 7,087 — a gap of 2.56%, which is far outside the margin needed for a recount.
Momentum has been on the side of Epps. Initial returns showed March slightly ahead, but Epps is popular among younger voters who in many cases wait until the last day or two of the primary to return their ballot. Those ballots cast at or near the last minute are also counted later, which explains why results have shown Epps gradually gaining on March — the race was virtually tied as of late Tuesday — then overtaking her.
Alton Dillard, spokesman for the Office of the Clerk and Recorder in Denver, said the office will release yet more ballot returns, though he could not give a figure for how many ballot remain to be counted in this race. March said her camp estimates about 3,500 remain.
