I thought that was an interesting article as well. I think more awareness and reporting could have something to do with it but there's obviously an underlying issue.

I was looking at the data and it seems that something changed in Colorado Springs around 2007-2008, could have just been a change in the definition but I'd like to hear other theories.

2006 per 100K - 66.6
2007 per 100K - 76.2
2008 per 100K - 88.5

It looks like it has stayed near or above 80 since then.

We got more Obama voters in El Paso County? Remember, the Democrats took control of the House in 2006 ...
