Cast Your Ballot by Nov. 4

October 1, 2014 / Carol Roberts / Denver News, Politics / 2 Comments

VoterGuideTOP_istockphoto-ArtOff-year (non-presidential) elections often have low voter turnout. Pollsters say the differing outcomes in various polls reflect the population that responded to the poll—and the outcome of this election will reflect who turns out to vote.

Despite being off-year, the upcoming election is being viewed as one with great significance. A number of incumbent state governors are in close races and the U.S. Senate election has the potential to change the balance from Democrat to Republican. Colorado’s close senate and governors races are being watched nationally.
