As we heard Monday on Morning Edition and All Things Considered, NPR's Ari Shapiro looked at the ad blitz in Colorado Springs, a republican stronghold in this swing state. Colorado Springs isn't alone though. A study earlier this month by CU News Corps found that in Denver alone viewers have been confronted by 18,956 ads so far.
There isn't a respite either online as KUNC's Nathan Heffel found. The election is currently 42 days out, but there is one way to attempt to dodge political ad spending: voting. Early voting starts in Colorado on October 22nd.
