Boulder County election results accurately reported during the general election
Nov 3rd
Boulder County, Colo. – In response to continued claims of inaccurate reporting of votes in Boulder County for the U.S. Senate race in Colorado, we want to reiterate that at no time did Boulder County contribute to the inaccurate reporting of those numbers.
Boulder County’s ballot processing and results reporting went smoothly throughout the general election, and preliminary election results were accurately posted at all times at www.VoteBoulder.org.
The Associated Press has acknowledged an error in how they reported certain election results last night, including vote totals from Boulder County for the U.S. Senate race. These inaccurate accounts were widely reported and attributed to Boulder County, but those claims are false. The error appears to be in how the totals were uploaded to a newswire database and had nothing to do with how they were posted online by elections officials at Boulder County.

Mail-in ballots must be received by the clerk’s office by 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 2 in order to be counted.
