More than 48 hours after election night, three house races in Colorado are still to be called. The key race is in Colorado’s 4th district between MAGA superstar Lauren Boebert and her Democratic challenger, Eileen Laubacher.
Though Eileen Laubacher’s lead is slim, and the race remains uncalled, Boebert’s comeback is difficult, in fact, near impossible at this point. The remaining ballots are in counties where Laubacher leads. As of Thursday, Eileen Laubacher maintains a lead of over 2500 votes over Boebert with 93% ballots counted, according to AP.
Boebert managed to bring down the difference after the ballots of Weld County, which is generally considered pro-Boebert, were opened, according to Kyle Clark on Colorado’s NEWS9.
‘This doesn’t define me’: Lauren Boebert amid potential election loss
At the time, she was still leading Corado’s 4th district. “But we’re hoping that those election day ballots turn in my favor. And if not, again, this doesn’t define me. I’m a mom. I’m a granny, and I’m a believer. We’re going to continue moving faith to faith and glory to glory.”
The outlet had reported on election night that Boebert was “not too worried” as she joined her staffer for the election night watch party. “We’re about a 5,000-vote deficit right now, a little bit less than that,” she had said. Lauren Bobert gave her first reaction in a TV interview with NEWS9 on Wednesday evening.
