Correct, though that percentage may have ticked up due to Republicans "coming home" (I hate that expression). But over 91% of Democrats will vote for Hillary so there should be up to +11% net cross-votes in favor of Democrats. Trump may win the Independents in a squeaker.

DENVER BUSINESS JOURNAL - After trailing registered Democrats since Colorado ballots were mailed out Oct. 17, Republicans in the state have taken the lead in early voting on the eve of Election Day.

It seems you assume all Republicans, and all unaffiliated voters vote for Trump.....

Right, and it also looks like about 30% of CO voters are unaffiliated. I think they will ultimately decide who wins the State.

I do not know about young Hispanics but almost all the young Whites that I talked to are going for Trump, surprising since it is the opposite of what the media says. Many young people are really tuned in this election. Whether they vote or not is the question since many young people do not vote.

Regarding Hispanics, I have friends who are really anti-Trump and I do not blame them at all. All this stupid talk about Mexicans this and Mexicans that by Trump. If he just emphasized he was against illegal aliens he would be doing better with Hispanics but he turned it into a Mexican thing and so I think he lost not only Mexican-Americans but many other Hispanic-Americans as well.

I do not know Colorado politics so I am not sure why some Hispanics are supporting Trump as you say. I can see some Hispanics liking Trump's positions on for instance free trade or anti-Washington corruption. But my argument is that he could be doing a lot better.

Colorado could wind up being the great liberal mistake. They supported the all vote-by-mail system because it would put a ballot in front of people who normally didn't vote, but their base moves around much more frequently and may not get the mail. Young people don't read much of their mail either. It would be truly ironic if this cost them the election.

He has emphasized this, but the mainstream media refuses to acknowledge it.

That's just from "registered" Republicans. I think it's safe to assume that there is a fair number of Democrats that actually have some sense, integrity and character and will not vote for corrupt Hillary.

We have in person voting too, early as well as today.

You'll have to kiss that little voter suppression fantasy bye-bye.
