More drop out of presidential race, what it means for Super Tuesday

DENVER, Colo. (KRDO) -- As of Sunday, more than one million Colorado voters have returned their mail-in ballots, according to the Secretary of State.

But with Democratic presidential hopefuls like Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar dropping out, some voters are left wondering what it means for the votes they've already cast.

According to Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold, Coloradans won't be able to change their vote if they've already turned in their ballot.

But if you've filled out your ballot for a candidate who recently suspended their campaign -- and not yet turned it in -- then you can draw a line through your initial choice and fill in the circle next to someone who's still in the race.

If you haven't already turned in your ballot, you also have the option to vote in person with a new ballot.

For the first time in more than 20 years, Colorado is holding a presidential primary instead of a party caucus. It's the result of Proposition 107, which was passed by voters in 2016.

The El Paso County Clerk and Recorder's Office is expecting a record high turnout this year.

"I hope people turn out in droves and I think that's what we're seeing so far," said Chuck Broerman, the county clerk.

Bloomberg is by far the largest spender in Colorado ahead of Tuesday. He's poured more than $5 million into the Denver market and an additional $1 million into the combined Colorado Springs - Pueblo market in TV ads, according to the Federal Communications Commission.
