Huge Turnout for Trump, Biden
Takes a Whoopin’

Despite the influx of left leaning migrants to Happy Valley the last decade or so, Custer County is still solid red with a big time Republican turnout in Tuesday’s Colorado primary election. The Custer County Republican vote turnout was FOUR TIMES higher than the Democrat turnout with 1,957 voting Republican and only 477 voting Democrat. (Note results are unofficial as of this date.)
For the County as a whole, there was a 55.45% voter turnout with 2,450 ballots cast out of 4,418 Active Voters.
There were seven candidates on the Republican ticket with Trump and Nicki Haley being the only ones getting significant votes: Trump trounced Haley with 1,434 votes (73.28%) to 474 votes (24.22%). On the Dem side, Biden got 430 votes (90.15%) with 20 votes (4.19%) voting for “Noncommitted Delegate”. (The “Non-committed” vote is a protest vote by democrats saying they want another, unspecified, Democrat to run for President. You can’t blame them. Dementia Joe ain’t gonna make it.)
What will be interesting, if we can find out, is how many Unaffiliated voters voted in the election. In Colorado; if you are registered Unaffiliated in a Primary, you get two ballots: one for the Republican candidates and one for the Democrat candidates. They can either not vote, or vote Republican or Democrat. There has been a LOT of news on how left leaning Unaffiliated who are opposed to Trump, are voting for Haley on the Republican ticket. We asked our County Clerk if it was possible to get that data for Custer County. We will let you know if we can obtain it.
Statewide, voter turnout was a lot lower than
politically-tuned-in Custer County with only 35.98% of Active Voters casting ballots: 1,361,999 ballots cast out of 3,785,419 Active Voters. There were 534,271 votes cast for Democrat candidates against 818,560 votes for Republican candidates. (Showing big time voter interest on the Republican side and low motivation for the Democrats.)
The state results show the minority Republican Party turned out big time to support Trump: Trump got 63.27% (517,884 votes) of the Republican ballots with Haley only getting 33.45% (273,809 votes) of the cast ballots.
On the Democrat side, Sleepy Joe got 83.55% (446,395 votes) of the Democrat votes cast with a significant number of anti Biden protest votes for “Non-committed Delegate”, 8.135 (43,439 votes).
Nationally, Trump put a whoopin’ dance on Haley wining all the state primaries except for wacko Vermont where he barely lost.
(This impressive Trump win nationally will panic the Dems and they will double down on their “lawfare” attempts at civilly suing Trump and trying to put him in jail via bogus charges. Folks, this November’s Presidential election will be the most consequential election in our lifetime. It is the last chance to save our country from the deranged left. It is gonna be some ride….)
