Lauren Boebert locked in close race likely headed to recount

between Rep. Lauren Boebert, the far-right Colorado congresswoman, and Democrat Adam Frisch appears likely to be headed to a recount as officials near the end of the first step of finalizing the vote count.

Frisch, a former Aspen City Council member who’s a virtual unknown outside Colorado, has come within striking distance of the right-wing star despite her having former President Donald Trump’s backing in the Republican-leaning 3rd Congressional District, which covers much of the western half of Colorado and is largely rural.

The results have see-sawed back and forth since the polls closed last Tuesday, with Frisch leading by around 100 votes at one point. By Friday morning, Boebert was ahead by just 550 votes — or a margin of by 50.1% to 49.9%. — with nearly all the votes counted., a recount is required if the difference between the top two vote-getters is less than or equal to 0.5% of the higher vote total cast in that election contest.

Counties have until Friday to perform their final uploads of tabulated ballots, the Colorado secretary of state's office said, after which they will conduct an audit to confirm results. County canvass boards have until Nov. 30 to submit official votes cast. Secretary of State Jena Griswold, a Democrat, has until Dec. 5 to compile the results and certify or order a mandatory recount, which would have to be completed by Dec. 13. Candidates could also request a recount, which would have to be completed by Dec. 15.

Well she already accepted the concession

Question: Are there any 'far left' congresswomen?

Crazy is back in town!

The race is tight. Bet she’s not.

She runs in a Red district dominated by oil & gas + ranching/farming. She won this seat by defeating a long seated republican by going full MAGA on him.

I pray this Karen loses 🙏

CNN nytimes ABC MSNBC washingtonpost Lauren Boebert lost! Recount as many times as you like, her ass will still lose!

Democrats in CO looking for more ballots 😂🤡 copolitics

She is an embarrassment to my home state. Go Adam!

Far right? 😂🤡 Far left democrat (be fair) Leftists and Colorado got smoked by bobo and they are just delaying the inevitable.

I say a re-count will be tainted! I do not trust the Demo-rats! If she has 1000 votes more, SHE WON!!!

Please find 600 votes!

It's not a race. Speed is not a factor. It's a tug of war...

But she said last night she won!

GOP House 'majority' could easily be by two seats.

Has anyone ever seen a tweet by legacy media describing a democrat as far-left? I'll wait.

This shouldn't be this close. How can Coloradoans vote for Bimbo Boebert?

Ya , I'd hit that , with my truck!

The only thing that’s will label you “far-right” by is to exercise constitutional rights, and hold dems accountable.

Adam Frisch is about as far left as you can get
