DENVER — U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert held her lead over challenger Adam Frisch into the fourth day of ballot counting in the 2022 midterm elections, with an ever-shrinking number of ballots yet to be counted.
The congresswoman took the lead in the race Thursday afternoon and gained momentum since then. As of 8 a.m. Mountain time Friday, she was ahead by 1,122 votes, representing just a fraction of a percent margin between the two candidates, according to the secretary of state’s office.
The race is not yet over, out-of-state and overseas ballots can still be counted so long as they arrive by next Wednesday, and ballots requiring additional verification can be fixed until then as well. And if the race ends with a slim-enough margin it will trigger an automatic recount, which would last into December.
