United States House of Representatives elections in Colorado, 2012. The 2012 U.S. House of Representatives elections in Colorado took place on November 6, 2012. Voters elected seven candidates to serve in the U.S. House, one from each of the state's seven congressional districts.

Primary: Colorado has a closed primary system, in which the selection of a party's candidates in an election is limited to registered party members. Voter registration: Voters had to register to vote in the primary by March 5. For the general election, the voter registration deadline was October 9.[1] See also: Colorado elections, 2012 According to the New York Times race ratings in October 2012, two of the seven districts were considered to be in play.

Can Paul Ryan—and His Agenda—Be Beat? It's Possible. Share House Budget Committee chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wisconsin, is the poster boy for the assault on Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. His budget plan, which laid the groundwork for the undermining of those essential programs and their eventual privatization, speaked a national outcry earlier this year. A historically Republican Congressional seat in western New York fell to the Democrats in a special election that turned largely on the question of Ryan’s austerity agenda.

Watching the news lately, you'd think that Election 2012 was only between Republican candidates for president, each trying to outflank the next to his or her right.
