Two Colorado pollsters say the recent election offers a glimpse into the differences between the Colorado electorate and the country as a whole and sheds more light on the views of the state's Latino voters. Also, they say President Trump's lawsuit against the Des Moines Register and Iowa pollster J. Ann Selzer is yet another challenge to the polling industry, which has been attacked in recent years for inaccurate data. The Iowa poll, which was released just before Election Day, showed Vice President Kamala Harris with a significant lead in the race and that didn’t materialize on November 5.
