BREAKING: Lauren Boebert declares victory and Adam Frisch concedes — but a recount is still required
Election officials tallied the last few remaining ballots in the race Friday and only one county had yet to finish tabulating its final votes. As of 11:15 a.m., Boebert was ahead of Frisch by just 551 votes out of 326,965 cast, a margin of 50.08% to 49.92%,“We have won this race,” Boebert said.
During a news conference Friday morning, Frisch said he had called Boebert to concede the race. He also thanked those who worked on his behalf and called for the politically divided country to come together and work toward “normalcy.” “We’ve shown the country what western and southern Colorado can do,” Frisch said. “We’ve shown that extremist politicians can be defeated.”
Despite the two candidates’ acknowledgment of the race’s likely outcome, the matter isn’t yet settled in the eyes of Colorado’s election officials.
