It was close, but the mandatory recount in Colorado’s Third Congressional District election between incumbent Lauren Boebert and Democratic challenger Adam Frisch has reinforced what was already known. Boebert won, but not by a lot — less than 600 votes. In response, Boebert posted a lo-fi thank you video to her Twitter account.
The video shows an unusually subdued Boebert exhibiting a quieter, let’s-get-to-work tone.
Hey, everyone! I am happy to report all the counties in Colorado’s Third District have completed their recount. We’ve won this election as expected, and I’m headed back to represent you in Washington D.C.
I can’t thank you enough for all of your support. I am so thrilled the Republicans will now hold the gavel in the people’s house, and I’m thrilled to be representing you in that majority.
Since the day I announced I was running for Congress, this has been about doing everything I can to help get our country back on track, and put a hard stop to the hard left’s move toward socialism. It’s our responsibility now, and my responsibility personally, to take the opportunity you’ve entrusted me with, and make you proud. To lead with strength. To lead with grace. And, to work hard every day to represent you the very best way I know how.
And, that starts with a promise. A promise to you to be a good listener. To take a deep breath, and help take the temperature down in D.C. After all, the weight this responsibility of being the majority holds requires discipline and targeted focus. It’s time we show how to get real work done for the people. We as Republicans must now prove we deserve to be in the majority, and to stand for the policies that help every American overcome challenges so we can all live

Quote from Boebert is cut short.
To all who said Republicans cannot win a close recount, this shows you were mistaken.
Indeed! I guess they do let us win sometimes!
I wish it mattered more. But I’ll take it, I like Boebert.
One out of a hundred.
It's said a lot. "Fraud cost the election!" "It's all rigged!" Etc.
Comments like that absolve the poster of such comments to not reasonably consider if the Republican candidate was a bust, if the issues that they ran on resonated with voters in their district, state.
In other words it's just a lazy way and herd mentality to bellow that fraud cost any Republican that lost their election.
Was there some voter fraud? I believe there was. Did it ***solely*** result in the loss of the numbers of seats that Republicans expected to pick up? I don't believe so.
Has HollyWierd stopped celebrating her loss?
The "republican" who ran against her in the primary endorsed her Democrat opponent.
I understand this was a redrawn new district for her. Next time she’ll have the incumbent advantage.
It just proves that open carry is the best approach to politics...
The cheating is highly variable depending on district. To imagine that there’s any correlation between Colorado District 3, a sparsely populated rural area, and, say Maricopa county, or Cook county is unrealistic.
Very sad they had to close The Shooters Grill.
“Was there some voter fraud? I believe there was. “
Its so obvious even the opposition has to give a little. Man that’s funny.
Reminds me of the vax. From 97% effective down to you’ll still get it, your nose just wont run so much.
XD XD
Man that’s too bad. I didn’t know it, I’ll have to search that up.
The property owner who they leased from would not renew. Spit.
“The “republican” who ran against her in the primary endorsed her Democrat opponent.”
Another Liz Cheney “Republican”.

Exactly correct. Many do not understand the new district cost her most of the advantage as an incumbent.
The enemy can easily produce illegitimate papers for 1 % of the accepted number of 4 - 6 MILLION illegals that are already here ! !
I strongly suspect a lot of pressure was applied to get them to not renew that lease.
