Nate Silver: CNN's total does not include Colorado Springs.

Mitt Romney got a decent result in Denver County, taking 40 percent of the vote there to Rick Santorum's 29 percent.

However, as was also the case in the Denver suburbs, turnout was down from 2008 -- 3,249 votes tonight versus 4,071 four years ago -- somewhat blunting the impact.

Mr. Romney now leads in CNN's vote count in Colorado, 37 percent to 35 percent.

However, the balance of the precincts yet to report in Colorado look slightly unfavorable to Mr. Romney. CNN's total does not include Colorado Springs, where Mr. Romney lost badly based on an account from the Denver Post. Meanwhile, most of the vote from Denver and its suburbs is accounted for.
