Colorado’s election recount rules could help determine the extent of Republicans’ slim majority in the lower chamber of Congress by deciding the outcome of Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert’s reelection race against Democrat Adam Frisch.
The thin margin in the sprawling 3rd Congressional District, which covers the state’s largely rural western and southern territory, could trigger a rare automatic recount. The Associated Press declared the race too close to call Thursday night with Boebert up by 551 votes out of nearly 327,000 cast and nearly all votes counted. The AP won’t make a call until after the recount, if there is one.

Q: WHAT WOULD BE THE TIMELINE FOR A RECOUNT?
A: Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold has until the end of the day Dec. 5 to declare whether the vote margin is tight enough to require a mandatory recount. Counties must complete the retabulation by Dec. 13.

The Democrats rigged Mesa County, once they got Tina Peters out of the way. Plain as day.
ping to you Colorado people.
90% of the time, if the Republican is ahead, a recount will flip to the dimocrat, then no more recounts. They count until they win. I’ve seen it way too much especially in Washington and Oregon.
Thought the dude conceded-— frisch or whatever his name.
I thought the Dem conceded.
They’ll find a bunch of “votes” in Adam Frisch’s storage unit, next to a pile of women’s scanties.
Typical Democrat ploy.
He "conceded" - knowing that the recount is mandated by state law.
That way, when the "votes" flip the seat, Frisch and the Democrat Media can try to concession-shame Boebert with his "magnanimous" earlier gesture.
The Dems don't miss a trick.
since when has “the AP” been baptized as the official election personnel?
They won’t call it for two years just to be extra super double plus sure!
I’ve used up my reserve of outrage in this election already. I think I’m gonna wait and see what actually happens.
Fix is in… And why not the rats have every tool at their disposal …they can steal cheat kill in broad daylight Without accountability. Just look what’s going on in Arizona in broad daylight they stole it from Lake! And that bitch Hobbs will be the governor whether we like it or not!
Always watch out when the Asspress starts one of their instructive pieces with “Here’s how,” or “Here’s what..” They just got the word from the DNC.
A concession is meaningless and has no effect on an election. If you concede and win the vote count, you win the election. You can then resign if you don’t want to serve.

Must be in the U.S. Constitution.
I posted something like that earlier today on another thread. I'm looking in the constitution to find where AP is the decisive authority to determine election results...still looking.
BTW the Republicans have 220 seats and leads in two more, this in Colorado and Calif 13th, but AP hasn't anointed the results yet there.
I know how these recount work. Republican wins. Recount finds Democrat wins. Republicans denied a third count.
Colorado Ping ( Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)
Yup. I think Gregoire used this trick twice on Rossi. What is sad is the GOP did nothing to fight it. Basically the judge got the final say.
