A red wave did not crash across Colorado Tuesday night.
Incumbent Democrats won mightily in Colorado, a state that has seen massive growth in urban areas and a shift from red, to purple, toward blue.
In Denver, the two dominant blocs of registered voters are the 200,568 unaffiliated voters trailed narrowly by the 200,522 Democratic voters. Republicans trail behind as the third largest bloc with a mere 44,198 voters.
With the 100-plus Denverites we spoke with, party mattered less than issues.
They told us that affordability, crime, education, environment, health and wellness, transportation and mistrust of government were their top concerns.
Yet when it came to filling out their ballots, Coloradans largely voted for the people who were already in office, mostly Democrats.
Here are the basics of who won, lost or were in tight races across the state.
Governor Jared Polis beat Republican challenger Heidi Ganahl.
Senator Michael Bennet beat Republican challenger Joe O'Dea.
Secretary of State Jena Griswold beat Republican challenger Pam Anderson
State Treasurer Dave Young led Republican Lang Sias.
Attorney General Phil Weiser led Republican challenger John Kellner.
District 1 Representative Diana DeGette beat Republican Jennifer Qualteri.
District 2 Representative Joe Neguse beat Republican Marshall Dawson.
District 6 Representative Jason Crow beat Republican Steven Monahan.
In District 7, Democrat Brittany Pettersen beat Republican Erik Aadland.
Ken Buck beat Democrat Ike McCorkle in District 4, and Republican incumbent Doug Lamborn beat David Torres in District 5.
In two congressional races, candidates were tied neck and neck late in the night.
In a surprise, Lauren Boebert trailed Democratic newcomer Adam Frisch, but the race remained too close to call before the end of the night.
Same with District 8, where Democrat Yadira Caraveo narrowly led Republican Barbara Kirkmeyer.
Democrats led three out of four State Board of Education seats.
The University of Colorado Regents race was the one place where Republicans led in more spots than Democrats, two to one, though none of those races have been officially called.
That's what we know as of tonight. We expect more results to come in tomorrow and will update accordingly.
