text: This district is NOT heavily democratic as the article asserts.  Most recent registration data from the Secretary of State office (8/1/2017 data) is 147,968 Dems, 143,742 Reps, and 163,546 unaffiliated 'Active' voters. Perhaps a bit less hyperbole and a bit more act checking is in order.  Also - worth noting that Coffman has voted in line with Trump's position 95% of the time as noted by statistics compiled by fivethirtyeight.com. Again, hardly an "independent streak" as the article states.
