Checking in with Colorado voters
Takeaway Correspondent Andrea Bernstein is traveling the country, checking in with voters. Today, she’s in Colorado, a key swing state in this mid-term election season. Up for grabs is a governor’s race, a Senate race and key Congressional races. There are also two ballot propositions getting a lot of attention: one regarding abortion rights, the other attempting to block enactment of federal health care reform. Key issues for constituents are health care, abortion and immigration.
Bernstein has spoken with voters in Weld County and Jefferson County and found that voters from both parties are still unsure how they will cast their ballots this November.
