Raya had 1,518 votes to Patrick Colvin’s 1,514 votes. The outcome is a reversal from unofficial results following the Nov. 2 election. The recount took place Wednesday. Going into the recount the county clerk and recorder showed Colvin with 1,533 votes and Raya 1,526. But in those vote totals Raya had 1,518 votes from Alamosa and Colvin had 1,514 votes from Alamosa.

Alamosa expected to hit
record high temp Thursday
Alamosa should reach into the 60s on Thursday, according to the National Weather Service-Pueblo forecast. If so, it’ll break the current record high of 58 degrees for Dec. 2 set in 1966. The Colorado Climate Center reported Wednesday that Alamosa had its hottest June-through-November stretch on record.
Weather has been so warm and so dry that jobs that usually would wait for spring, like the roofers at work above, are still going strong.
