To: Citizens of Colorado From: Natalie Meyer, Secretary of State Subject: 1992 Abstract of Votes I am pleased to publish the 1992 Abstract of Votes Cast which provides as complete a picture of Colorado voting behavior as our data will provide. Compiled from material filed at our office, this publication profiles the voting patterns of Colorado voters in the presidential primary, primary and the general election. Some 1,597,186 electors exercised their voice at the polls in November 1992. This abstract is dedicated to those who realize that every ·voice is critical and counted in determining the direction of local and national governmental affairs. Our system of government would cease to exist without a concerned constituency who participates at every level of the electoral process. 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS PAGE Glossary of Abstract Terms 1 Directory of Elected and Appointed Officials 2 Presidential Primary Election 42 Primary Election Abstract U.S. Senate 48 U.S. Congress 51 State Board of Education 55 Regents of the University of Colorado 56 State Senate 59 State Representative 63 District Attorneys 80 General Election Abstract Presidential Electors 86 U.S. Senate 88 U.S. Congress 90 State Board of Education 91 Regents of the University of Colorado 93 State Senate 94 State Representative 96 District Attorneys 106 RTD District Directors 110 Moffat Tunnel Commissioners 112 Judicial 113 Ballot Issues 126 Registered Voters{furnout 142 ii iii GLOSSARY OF ABSTRACT TERMS Assembly Meeting of delegates of a political party held to designate candidates for nomination at a primary election.
