Election 2016: Colorado voting systems down

This can't be good: Jessica Oh at 9News in Denver reports that all voting systems in Colorado are down. Oh tweeted the information at 1:05 PM mountain time, shortly after an announcement was made at the Denver Elections Office.

Colorado's role in this election could be important, though probably not pivotal. Its status as a swing state has solidified in recent years. And with the election expected to be close, the impact of early voting can't be underestimated. The Denver Post reports that Republicans have gained an edge in early votes over the weekend, shifting a trend that was favoring Colorado Democrats until then.

Stay tuned. We'll see if this is a thing or ... a thinglet.
