    Proponents of Ranked Choice Voting are smarting, too, since Tuesday’s results showed that traditional primaries do winnow out extremist candidates after all.  They won’t be able to make that argument this fall when advocating for their ballot measure.

    Seems like an unnecessary aside.

    Contenders in the 4th Congressional District split the non-Boebert vote giving her the victory in her newly chosen district with 43% of the vote. The district’s Democrats picked Trisha Calvarese over Ike McCorkle. Polling suggested McCorkle could beat Boebert in the general election but that Boebert would prevail over Calvarese. She’ll win that seat in November. Perhaps she’ll make up with former bestie Marjorie Taylor Greene, who also won her primary in Georgia.

    Well that’d be sad. Colorado republiQans queuing up for the free handies i guess?
