Mandatory recount officially ordered in Boebert-Frisch race

Nov 30, 2022

DENVER (KDVR) — It’s official: A recount has been ordered in the race for Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District, where challenger Adam Frisch has conceded the race to Lauren Boebert with just hundreds of votes separating the two.

The incumbent representative Boebert leads by just 550 votes. Colorado law says a recount will automatically happen if the difference in votes between the two candidates is less than 0.5% of the winner’s total.

“The results of the District 3 race reinforce the fact that every vote matters,” Secretary of State Jena Griswold said in a statement announcing the recount. “Colorado voters have made their voices heard, and I am ordering this recount in accordance with Colorado law to confirm the will of the voters.”

While Boebert’s lead is razor-thin, the FOX31 Data Desk found that a recount is unlikely to change the outcome.

Recounts are themselves exceptionally rare, and outcomes are only reversed when the candidates were within a few hundred votes of each other in the original count, according to a FairVote analysis of statewide and national races from all 50 states between 2010 and 2019.

What happens next in the Boebert-Frisch recount? The 27 counties involved in the recount are ordered to do a logic and accuracy test on the tabulation equipment, and they will do the work “with their bipartisan canvass boards,” according to the Secretary of State’s Office. Then, they will rescan the ballots.

The counties are required to recount ballots in the same way they were handled during the election, according to the office. San Juan County will do a manual recount.

The recount is to be finished by Dec. 13, as required by law.

House District 3 includes 26 counties and part of Eagle County. The 26 counties include: Alamosa, Archuleta, Conejos, Costilla, Delta, Dolores, Garfield, Gunnison, Hinsdale, Huerfano, La Plata, Las Animas, Mesa, Mineral, Moffat, Montezuma, Montrose, Otero, Ouray, Pitkin, Pueblo, Rio Blanco, Rio Grande, San Juan, San Miguel and Saguache.

Denver7 story:

Mandatory recount ordered in Colorado's 3rd Congressional District race

By: Blair Miller

Nov 30, 2022

DENVER — The Colorado Secretary of State’s Office on Wednesday ordered a long-expected mandatory recount in the 3rd Congressional District race between Rep. Lauren Boebert and Adam Frisch.

Boebert, the Republican incumbent, leads Frisch, the Democratic former Aspen city councilman, by 550 votes in the race, which is within the 0.5% margin of the total number of votes Boebert received to trigger the automatic recount under Colorado statute.

The recount had been expected to happen and is not expected to change the final result. Recounts in Colorado typically do not change the final result but for a few votes.

Frisch conceded the race on Nov. 18, the last day counties had to submit their final vote tallies to the Secretary of State’s Office. He said he did not expect the mandatory recount to give him the votes to overtake Boebert and said he wouldn’t question the results. He said the chance a recount would change the result was “very, very small.”

There are 26 complete counties in House District 3 as well as part of Eagle County, and they have all been notified to proceed with the recount. They will have to finish by Dec. 13.

The counties will work with bipartisan canvass boards to undertake a logic and accuracy test, then will recount all ballots cast in the race – re-scanning ballots with tabulation equipment except for in San Juan County, which will manually recount the ballots, the Secretary of State’s office said.

Yep, we know how this always works, yet we will put up with it and many here will blame Boebert as usual. If we just had a real RINO, we would have won./sarc

Who the hell “ordered” it and who added the needed votes into the system for the Commie RAT to “win”. INQUIRING AMERICAN MINDS WANT TO KNOW. Another stolen seat. Bastards. Americans NEVER win a RAT “recount”. They’re stolen by the RATS every time.

We will know by December 14.

If Boebert keeps her seat, will you retract this accusation?

The friggin’ RAT tallymen never could count. They spent all their time in grade school trying to decide which gender they wanted to be. They never got around to learning how to count. Real dumbasses. You can bet, with a little help from St. George Floyd, the RATS are going to flip this one. They’ve got to get Nazi Polizei her yob back. It took them almost a month to count the votes. Real dumb bastards.

Colorado’s SOS (Griswold) is a Soros commie.
She single-handedly banned any and all of my state’s recounts and audits of the 2020 election as soon as they started happening in other states, yet NOW she wants a recount?

This smells.

This is a solid red district. The fact that it was this close in a Biden midterm is a poor reflection of Boebert’s political skills. Hopefully, she will get the message and pay more attention to her constituents.

She was redistricted.

That removed a lot of the incumbent advantage.

Plus, she had all the RINOs in the state working against her.

Her primary GOPe opponent endorsed the Democrat.

Thank you.

nbenyo tends to side with the NeverTrumper stealers, IIRC.

Mohamed Enab’s wife : Jena Griswold banned election audits.. silence from RINOs..

Griswold sent out 30 thousand postcards to ineligible voters ( non citizens, dead .. ) in 2020 telling them to register to vote.. She did it again. - 2022.

RINOs in the Colorado state house are happy with the Dominion Voting System introduced by Wayne Williams.
