Early in-person voting begins in DC, Colorado

Published October 28, 2024
Early in-person voting kicked off in both Washington, D.C., and Colorado on Monday as the nation sits just one week from Election Day.
The race between former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris remains a coin flip, according to polling. More than 46 million voters have already cast ballots during early-voting.
Facing a margin-of-error race in both the national polls and the swing state surveys, both the vice president and the former president, their running mates, and top surrogates continue to fan out across the seven crucial battleground states that will likely decide the 2024 presidential election.
The Republican presidential nominee starts Tuesday from his home base in Palm Beach, Florida, where his campaign says Trump will deliver remarks to the press.

The former president will then hold two events in Pennsylvania, which, with 19 electoral votes at stake, is the largest prize among the key swing states.
Meanwhile, the Democratic nominee is in the nation's capital, taking a break from swing state travel for a day, as she delivers what the Harris campaign touts as her closing argument, in an address from the Ellipse, with the White House as a backdrop.

Key down-ballot races in today’s early voting states
There are two competitive House districts across the states that began voting Friday:
- Colorado’s 3rd District: The 3rd District stretches across most of western Colorado. Thanks to a largely rural working-class population (Aspen is the exception), it’s been safely Republican for over a decade. But in 2022, the race came down to just 546 votes. Incumbent Rep. Lauren Boebert is moving to safer Republican turf this year, making this a race between her former Democratic challenger, Adam Frisch, and Republican attorney Jeff Hurd. It’s Lean R on the rankings.
- Colorado’s 8th District: The 8th District starts in rural Weld County, where Trump won by 18 points in 2020. But the further down you go, the more suburban it becomes. Strong Democratic turnout in Adams County, which Biden won by 16 points, gave Democratic Rep. Yadira Caraveo her first win in 2022. This time, the incumbent is up against Republican state politician Gabe Evans. This is a Toss Up race.
