High turnout, though not record-breaking, is shaping this year’s election in Boulder County, with the high-stakes presidential race at the top of the ballot. Listen to our "Morning Edition" host Michael Lyle, Jr. discuss this story with Boulder Reporting Lab reporter John Herrick, and then read the Boulder Reporting Lab story at the link below.

Colorado voters considered some interesting ballot measures in this week's election. Today on In The NoCo, KUNC politics and elections reporter Lucas Brady Woods discusses why Colorado voters made the choices they did.

Coloradoans weighed in on a number of legislative measures during Election Day. The results are mostly in. Several key district races were also decided. Colorado Sun publisher and co-founder Larry Ryckman joined KUNC's Michael Lyle, Jr. to break down the results from a busy Tuesday evening across the Centennial State.

Proposition 127, also known as the big cat hunting ban, proposes a ban on the hunting of mountain lions, bobcats, and lynx. This initiative marked the second time in four years that Colorado voters weighed in on wildlife management decisions.

While the presidential and congressional races got a lot of attention in Tuesday's election, there were plenty of noteworthy local issues on the Colorado ballot. Today on In The NoCo, we talk with KUNC elections reporter Lucas Brady Woods to break down some of the most significant measures.

Proposition KK could create a stable and ongoing funding stream for victim services, ensuring that programs can continue to provide essential support. Unlike other proposed firearms legislation, this initiative does not regulate guns but instead levies a tax to fund programs.

Both Amendment J (same-sex marriage) and Amendment 79 (abortion) had wide support, while the closely watched race in Congressional District 8 was still close.

With 66% of the vote counted, Democratic Rep. Yadira Caraveo was narrowly leading Republican State Rep. Gabe Evans 50% to 48%.

Amendment 79 changes the state constitution by creating a right to abortion. It also removes prohibitions on using public funds for abortion services and ensures abortion is included in health insurance coverage.
