The last of the ballots are being tallied in the Boebert v. Laubacher race. Laubacher is heading to Washington and Boebert says there’s more to her identity than being a congresswoman, so maybe this tale of the high school dropout is winding down to a close. Mediaite:
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) lost her reelection bid in a razor-tight race, which CNN called on Monday afternoon for her opponent, Eileen Laubacher.
CNN anchor Brianna Keilar broke the news on air, saying, “CNN projecting that Democrat Eileen Laubacher will win Colorado’s Fourth Congressional District, unseating Republican incumbent and reliable Trump ally Lauren Boebert. Boebert’s loss coming after she decided to run in a more conservative district last cycle in an effort to preserve her political future. Her opponent, Laubacher, served more than three decades in the Navy and focused her campaign on affordability issues. This win, growing the Democratic majority in the House to 256 seats now.”
Boebert has a lawyer, Scott Gessler, who believes that the race is going to “come down to a recount, one way or another.” Right now Laubacher has 2,927 votes more than Boebert and that is well outside the automatic recount threshold of 921 votes. A campaign can pay for a recount outside that margin.
Will Boebert drag the election along? I guess we’re going to find out, if she’s not too busy going from glory to glory.
Hell, yeah, she’ll drag it.
Do you think she has the money to do a recount? I doubt that she would have the donors or backing, but it’s just my opinion.
