Karen Middleton, the executive director of Cobalt, an abortion-rights advocacy organization, was one of the speakers at a Spurr Colorado event. She saw a lot more enthusiasm and involvement in this midterm election from candidates and voters from all parties — including those who weren’t normally active, and from those across the state, not just the Denver metro.
The Colorado Republican Party did not see the results of the “red wave” pollsters had predicted nationally, and GOP party chair Kristi Burton Brown blames that, at least partly, on abortion and how she said Democrats portrayed Republican candidates as “extremists” on the issue. Although Colorado Republican candidates tried to steer the conversation away from abortion, instead focusing on crime and inflation, which they said are what voters really care about and what they believed Democrats have failed to address, voters ultimately elected Democratic candidates who support abortion.
“Regardless of party identification, I think that it helps the party to look more extreme, and that was how the Democratic Party was painting them,” she said. “And I think that that stuck.” “That indicated to me that there were a lot of women of reproductive age, who were very concerned about the Dobbs decision who wanted to make sure that their voices were heard, and were willing to go in person to get a ballot and make sure that their votes were counted,” Ferguson said.
