Cory Gardner is pro life, motherfuckers, from conception until birth.
Please be very suspicious of all these polls. There are just too many serious “unknowns.”
(1) This is the first election using the new procedures (thanks to our Democratic legislature) : every registered voter (even “inactive” ones) got a ballot in the mail, which you can mail in or drop off at numerous locations around the state or take to a polling place around the state. You can also register the same day you vote, which is new here. We assume this will help Democratic turnout, but nobody really knows how much.
(2) Nobody has figured out how to factor in cell phones. Specifically, we have a huge influx of new residents in recent years (especially younger voters in urban areas) who opt not to get a landline and still have out-of-state area codes on their cell phones. How are they reaching those people?
(3) There is a “synergy” that should help Democratic turn-out: (a) anti-Gardner, (b) anti-Beauprez for governor (he thinks IUDs are abortions and wants to defund Planned Parenthood), © No on 67-the latest “personhood” attempt. If you are motivated on any one, you’ll likely vote on all three. No hint that any of the polls have factored this into “likely” voters.
