Lauren Boebert declares victory in Colorado, Adam Frisch concedes — but a recount is still required

DENVER — Unofficially, the race is over. Officially, a few things have to happen before incumbent U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert is certified as the winner of her first reelection bid in Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District.

Boebert overcame controversy, scandal and an unexpectedly strong challenge from former Aspen City Councilman Adam Frisch, barely eking out a win.

Election officials tallied the last few remaining ballots in the race Friday morning, putting Boebert ahead of Frisch by just 554 votes out of 327,110 cast, a margin of 50.08% to 49.92%, according to the secretary of state’s office.
