The 2020 election will include the new election methods that we passed as propositions 107 and 108. Unaffiliated voters will vote in primaries. The idea that Democrats will have a lock or any party, may be a fallacy. The largest block of non-partisan voters (unaffiliated) surpassed the membership of both Rs & Ds about ten years ago. The Democrats would like to believe that this block of unaffiliated voters are left liberals or progressives. And of course the Republicans would like to believe that same idea is true for conservatives right of their platform.

Considering that there are over 30,000 registered Libertarians (far more than Greens), and the state has a tendency to vote purple - even Obama celebrated the "libertarian spirit of Colorado" in a state of the union - it's difficult to tell how things will go when unaffiliated voters get to vote in primaries.

All previous bets are off.
