Decision Desk HQ projects that Democrat Phil Weiser, Colorado’s attorney general, will win the governor’s race against Republican Victor Marx, and Breitbart News reports the Associated Press called the race soon after polls closed. Weiser will succeed term-limited Democratic Gov. Jared Polis. With 57 of 64 counties reporting, The Center Square reports Weiser had about 62 percent of the vote to Marx’s 33 percent. The outlets also report that Democrats won the attorney general, secretary of state and state treasurer races. Both right-leaning outlets report that Marx faced a fine for campaign finance violations, reported as $58,000 by one and near $60,000 by the other.
