Colorado Get-Out-The-Vote Maps
FairVote2020 has developed an interactive map showing turnout of the voting age population in Colorado for the 2000 presidential
election. Additional maps include census data on race, ethnicity and income. Change maps by clicking on the map under "Compare Maps" on the left. You may zoom in on the map by clicking on the appropriate button at the top and then on the map.
The 2000 precinct lines and current Congressional, State House, and Senate boundaries can be turned on and off
by checking the appropriate box below the map image. The precinct boundaries and congressional lines are checked by default.
At the end of this page is a link to Adobe maps showing nonvoters and 2000 turnout rates by
precinct for Colorado localities with populations greater than 10,000. There is also a link to a second set of maps for the same places displaying Bush-Gore by precinct. Use
the two sets in tandem to help target your canvassing efforts.

Map 1 -- Percent Turnout in Colorado (2000 election by 2000 precinct)
At a scale of about 5 miles, the number of voting age persons (by precinct) who did not vote in the 2000 election is displayed in purple boxes. This number
includes both registered and unregistered persons and has not been adjusted for non-citizens. Precinct boundaries are those in effect in 2000.
Vote totals are estimates based on a block-level disaggregation performed by the Colorado legislative redistricting office. The methodology used to make
block-level adjustments for early and absentee voting is described here.
At a scale of about 3 miles, pie charts display in areas with significant minority population, showing race/ethnicity components for the over 18
population.
Note: This map was modified on June 26, 2004 to show turnout based on voting age population rather than
registered voters. Turnout based on the 18+ population more accurately reflects voter participation where voter registration counts appear to be overstated. Colorado's 2000
redistricting file shows 2.75 million registered voters, compared to the Census Bureau's more accurate survey estimate of 1.95 million in 2000.

This modification makes the Colorado map consistent with FairVote2020 maps for other states where we do not have post-2000 political data.
