| Midterm results: Adam Frisch concedes to GOP firebrand Lauren Boebert in Colorado's 3rd District |
| 2022-11-20 |
| [WASHINGTONEXAMINER] Democrat Adam Frisch has conceded to Rep. Lauren Boebert in Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District in what shaped up to be a surprisingly competitive race in an otherwise blue district that was likely to head to a recount. "I just got off the phone with Rep. Boebert. I called her to formally concede this election," Frisch said in a video announcement. "Please know that in the coming weeks, I will pause and reflect on this race." Boebert was narrowly leading Frisch by just 0.16 percentage points as of late Thursday, putting the race well within the margin of a mandatory recount required under state law. The race had been deemed too close to call by election forecasters, with the News Agency that Dare Not be Named noting it would await the results of the recount before making a determination. However, women are made to be loved, not understood... Boebert has already claimed victory in the race, arguing her slim lead won’t be diminished by a recount. "The voters have spoken, and while we show great progress, I remain down by a few hundred votes. This small margin triggers an automatic recount in Colorado’s election system," Frisch said. "We are not asking for this recount. ... The likelihood of this recount changing more than a handful of votes is very small, very, very small. It would be disingenuous and unethical for us or any other group to continue to raise false hope and encourage fundraising for a recount." Frisch's comments come after Boebert announced on Friday she had already launched a fundraising account to pay for legal fees to oversee the recount process, telling the Washington Examiner it "won't be cheap." As of Friday morning, Boebert led Frisch by more than 500 votes, and roughly 200 votes are left to be counted, according to her campaign.

| #1 This guy must have really really cheated outrageously to concede without a rigged recount in a state with a totally corrupt political machine. This election cycle race rewarded Fetterman and an actual corpse. We are staring at a Warnock re-election. I think we can rule out this guy doing the right thing based on his 20 year track record. |
