Fueled by leftover pizza and cold coffee (and audio produced by yours truly because we got in a staffing crunch this week) our Purplish primary show is out. @AndyKnny and @BenteBirkeland have lots of smart things to say -- give 'em a listen: https://t.co/HQZXHOGK9e #copolitics

When you have a great piece of audio, except the voter keeps calling one of the Senate candidates "Tom" Hanks...

🏒🧵 I’m asking folks at the parade about their @Avalanche attire. Deon Pierson has had this jersey since ‘01. His late mother wore it. She died of breast cancer a few years ago.

“She’s here representing The Avs with us in heart.”

Lynn definitely had the technical-nightmares-trip-from-hell. Glad to see there was a caloric light at the end of the tunnel.

Yesterday may have been full of unexpected technically difficulties, but breakfast is more than making up for it! Egg scramble with green chili pour over & bear paw bread (I wolfed down the other 2 parts of the paw). It’s my reporting trip perk: small,local places w/ great food!

I rewatch that move WAAAAY too often.

Fun fact: anything you read on https://t.co/OnTzWvEusZ with @caitlynkim's byline tonight was written from the porch of a motel in Montrose on an iPad because she is having the technical-problems-reporting-trip-from-hell (and yet still managing to look cheerful!)

[Erik Aadland @AadlandforCO]

I just spoke with @TimReichertCO who congratulated me on this victory.

State Sen. Don Coram conceded: We didn’t get the results that we were hoping for, but we’re holding our head up high. I came into this race saying honesty, integrity & civility are important…but the voters have chosen and we respect their voice.”

Attn @carlam_jimenez - this guy gets it.

It’s a good night for congressional incumbents. GOP Reps. Ken Buck and Doug Lamborn have also survived their primary challenges. #copolitics

[Megan Verlee @MeganVerlee]

My one enduring hot take -- which was definitely reaffirmed tonight -- is that on balance, Colorado voters like to feel moderate. #copolitics

One of the nation’s most prominent election deniers lost her bid for the GOP nomination for Colorado’s top elections post.

Tina Peters lost to Pam Anderson, a former suburban Denver clerk who criticized the election lies that Peters repeated. https://t.co/D7LBCS7W6G

Man, it's going to be interesting to cover Colorado's general election!
