DENVER — Early in the third day of of the 2022 midterm election, incumbent U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert overtook Adam Frisch with a small lead in Colorado's 3rd District race, but thousands more ballots have yet to be counted.
As of 11:17 a.m. Mountain time Thursday, Boebert led Frisch by 433 votes at a slim margin of 50.07% to 49.93%, according to vote tallies from the secretary of state’s Office. Previously Frisch held an even more narrow lead with just a few dozen votes.
But the race is far from over. Pueblo County Clerk Gilbert Ortiz confirmed to The Denver Post that his office has yet to count about 1,800 in-person votes, 5,200 mail-in votes and is in the process of verifying the signatures of another 500 more ballots. Ortiz’s office is expected to filter updated vote counts to state election officials throughout the day.
