By Jeremy Pelzer, PolitickerCO.com Reporter

 

U.S. Sen.-elect Mark Udall (D-Eldorado Springs) beat Republican opponent Bob Schaffer by 10.31 percentage points, according to Colorado Secretary of State election statistics released this week.

That's the largest margin of victory for a Democratic U.S. Senate candidate in Colorado since Gary Hart won by almost 18 percentage points in 1974, the Rocky Mountain News' Lynn Bartels is reporting.
