UPDATE: As of results posted at 7:57 p.m., Adam Frisch, a Democrat from Aspen, had just barely kept ahead of Lauren Boebert, a Republican from Silt, 50.01%% to 49.99%, the secretary of state’s office reported. Just 64 votes separate the two candidates.
The race between incumbent U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert and challenger Adam Frisch for Colorado’s massive 3rd Congressional District was still too close to call Wednesday evening, as election officials continued to count ballots.
If such a narrow margin holds, the results will trigger an automatic recount for the race. The state’s recount threshold sits at 0.5% of the leading candidate’s total votes, approximately 783 votes.After midnight Tuesday, Frisch told The Denver Post he was both invigorated and tired, especially after an 11-day, 3,300-mile run through the district, which took him through 27 counties.The race isn’t likely to be decided over the next few hours, Frisch added late Tuesday.
Even if Boebert does retake the lead, Seth Masket, a political scientist with the University of Denver, said the margin is far closer than most experts predicted.By the end of the night, Boebert had neither conceded nor claimed victory. The former Aspen City Council member regularly called Boebert a member of the “anger-tainment” industry and criticized her for not passing any legislation in her first term. One of his most-repeated lines during town halls and debates stemmed from Boebert’s fixation on Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi: “I’m Adam Frisch, not Nancy Pelosi,” he would say.
Wildfires threaten parched areas throughout the district, and the floods or mudslides that follow endanger infrastructure of local and national importance, such as Interstate 70. Plus the country’s push away from fossil fuels and toward renewable energy sources threatens the state’s oil and gas industry.
