Keeping a running post as updates come in over the next few hours. As results are formally announced, I’ll break those out into separate posts . . . here we go (most recent news will be at the top). Results at Denver Post, more reactions and coverage at People’s Press Collective and Michelle Malkin.

9:15: GOP Governor undervote vs. GOP Senate, with 327,544 (Gov) vs. 344,272 (Sen), or 9.5% undervote

9:06: With 73% reporting in GOP Governor race, just 395 votes separate Maes and McInnis, or a difference of 0.0013% (would trigger automatic recount)

9:02: Ryan Call, legal counsel for the Colorado GOP, tells Battle ‘10 that a race will trigger an automatic recount if one half of one percent (0.5%) difference separates winner and loser

8:57: Pending GOP Gubernatorial outcome (which appears to be headed to an automatic recount), sources report GOP courting potential vacancy committee appointee:

ReMax founder Dave Liniger is being courted by fellow Republicans to jump into the governor’s race, a prospect Liniger is considering, multiple sources involved in or close to the conversations told The Denver Post today.
Liniger doesn’t have political experience but has the ability to put millions of his own money into the race. He also has significant business credibility. He started with one office in Denver in 1973 and now the company has more than 100,000 agents in more than 75 countries.
