County clerks finished posting unofficial results in Colorado’s primary election on Friday, drawing a line under a series of nominating contests that witnessed upsets, surprises and outright shockers by the time the votes were tallied.

While the outcome changed in only one major, top-ticket race after the initial returns were reported on June 30, several candidates declared winners on election night saw their leads swell as clerks added same-day and late-arriving votes to the totals.

Another statewide candidate, who appeared to cruise to renomination, easily securing a win hours after polls closed, turned out to have won by a closer-than-comfortable margin after all the ballots had been counted.
