Unless the last 7,000 or so votes left to be counted in Denver differ greatly from those already counted, Denver’s Referendum 1A which increases sales taxes by 0.0012% to pay for pre-school assistance will to pass.As of this posting, 1A is ahead 73,498 to 71,944, having won 50.53% of the votes cast on the measure. This lead of 1,554 votes is a thin one, but the remaining 7,000 or so votes to be counted would have to oppose the measure by a 61-39 percentage point margin for 1A to fail. Given that the break down of votes has been very close to 50-50 for the first 95% of votes counted, this is unlikely. There is no reason to think that the last few ballots will have results dramatically different from those already counted on this issue.
