Boebert is now blaming weak GOP candidates in the CO Gov and Senate races for dragging her down as the reason for her poor showing in a Republican district. Definitely not her fault.

Boebert wrote: There’s no doubt I was a target for the Democrats, but I am confident once all of the ballots are counted, I will win, and I will be there to help fire Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House… I don’t know if there wasn’t enough enthusiasm for our top ticket candidates for governor and Senate or what happened there. But there was a lot of shifting of the votes there. Of course, I expect to win. I think Polis and Bennet definitely carried the ticket for the Democrat Party.

• L. Boebert 50.20% 162,040
• A. Frisch 49.80% 160,918
• Difference: 1,122

[if the difference between the highest number of votes cast in that election contest and the next highest number of votes cast in that election contest is less than or equal to one-half of one percent of the highest vote cast in that election contest.”

The google machine tells me that Colorado does automatic recounts when a margin of victory in an election is less than or equal to 0.5% of the winner's vote.

Right now the margin is sitting at .69%. (Unless I did my maths wrong, which is possible.)

So, unless a miracle happens, no automatic recount. Think Frisch will pay for one?

But new tallies will likely have to wait until Wednesday, the deadline for counties to receive ballots from military and overseas voters.

The next round of updated votes won’t just include those ballots, though — each county has kept some uncounted ballots in reserve to mix with whatever it receives through Wednesday in order to keep those results as anonymous as possible....

... Wednesday is also the deadline for voters whose ballots were uncountable, primarily because their signature was missing or rejected, to fix the problem — known in the election world as curing. (Here's how to cure your ballot, by the way.) Other problems may include an issue with the identification the voter has on file with the state.

No. Neither do I.

Trump is reportedly making a list of people he endorsed who aren’t coming out to quickly support him after his announcement. Boebert was asked about that: “I am a huge supporter of (Trump). But with that, I love Desantis. He is America’s governor, and he has the same policies.”

As unlikely as it is, if it does happen just imagine the howls.
