Google Searches Favor Boebert and Marx. They've Picked Colorado Winners About Half the Time.

Over the last three months, Coloradans searched Google for Lauren Boebert more than four times as often as for Eileen Laubacher, the Democrat running against her in the 4th Congressional District.

Victor Marx, the Republican nominee for governor, drew nearly three searches for every one of Democrat Phil Weiser's.

If searches decided elections, both Republicans would win Tuesday. The U.S. Senate race would be close to a tie, with Democratic Sen. John Hickenlooper just ahead of Republican state Sen. Mark Baisley.

DCCO ran the same comparison on 17 past Colorado races to see how often the most-searched candidate won. The search leader won nine and lost eight.

🚨 ELECTION UPDATE 🚨

Unaffiliated Voters Lead Douglas County's Ballot Count as Returns Pass 100,000

Unaffiliated voters have mailed back more ballots than Republicans or Democrats in Douglas County, but measured against how many of each are on the rolls, the order flips. We also looked at what past primaries and elections show about the county's largest group of voters.

That is about 35% of the county's 289,369 active registered voters, based on the Colorado Secretary of State's count as of Oct. 1. It is also about 18,200 more ballots than the county had on Monday afternoon, when the count stood at 83,628.

Ballots must arrive by 7 p.m. on Nov. 3. Postmarks don't count. Voters can return a ballot at one of the county's 23 drop boxes or at a voter service and polling center until 7 p.m. on Election Day. Locations are on the Douglas County Elections site.

🚨Douglas County Has 83,628 Ballots Back, With Eight Days Until Election Day 🚨

Douglas County voters had returned 83,628 ballots as of Monday afternoon, eight days before the Nov. 3 general election, according to the county's ballot return dashboard.

That is about 29% of the county's 289,369 active registered voters, based on the Colorado Secretary of State's September registration count, the most recent available.

Ballots must arrive by 7 p.m. on Nov. 3. Postmarks don't count. Voters who still have a ballot can return it at one of the county's 23 ballot drop boxes or at a voter service and polling center until 7 p.m. on Election Day.

Democratic congressional candidate Eileen Laubacher spoke to a crowd in Parker this week. She’s challenging Rep. Lauren Boebert in the 4th District, which covers all of Douglas County. Every candidate in the race is in DCCO’s election guide, link in the comments.

A former Douglas County School District teacher posted publicly on Nextdoor asking a question a lot of voters share: where did the money from the last two school tax increases go?

She described pressure to raise grades and accept missing work, special education support she called "too often inadequate," and administrators who rarely helped with classroom problems. She asked the district to show how past money was spent before asking for more.

What the records show:

• Voters approved a $40 million override in 2018 and $66 million in 2023. 5A would add $54 million more.

• The district says the 2018 money put a counselor in every school, and the 2023 money paid for an average 9% teacher raise plus $6 million in school security.

• The district's 2026 annual report claims the lowest staff turnover in the Denver area, 13%. State data list DCSD at 16.3% for 2025-26, slightly above Cherry Creek.

• We found no public report tying each override's actual spending to measured results.

Our position: DCCO has urged a no vote on 5A. We want the school board to come back after an independent performance audit is finished, with a better offer for teachers. If the board did that, we don't think teachers would be pushing for collective bargaining as hard as they are.

Ballots are due by 7 p.m. Nov. 3.
