Why it matters: Ahead of the November election, the four-way race was a test to signal whether Democratic support is growing in this GOP-dominated region, which covers the state's Eastern Plains.

Reality check: The result, however, indicates Republicans' stronghold remains firmly intact.

By the numbers: Lopez won with 57% of the vote in preliminary results posted when polls closed at 7pm. The Associated Press projected him as the winner about 30 minutes later.

His primary opponent, Democrat Trisha Calvarese, received 36% of the vote in preliminary results.

Lopez is a veteran of the U.S. Air Force who lives in Elizabeth. His resume shows he leads LCMG, a small business consulting firm, and was the former head of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Metro Denver.

“— a 2020 election denier —”

It is convenient for the author to self-identify as a member of the gaslight media so early in the article.

Yes - Boebert will win the general election. Greg will serve until the new Congress is sworn in.

Buck was more of a Doe.

Seems to be a mental case now.
