Results

Throughout the night the race was very close. With 90% of the vote in Beauprez had around a 3,000 vote lead. The Democrats were holding out hope, that Jefferson County would edge them out. When 96% of the vote had reported, Hickenlooper, pulled ahead. Ever since then his lead only began to grow. Beauprez conceded defeat at 5:48 on the morning of November 6.
