Colorado Representative Lauren Boebert’s campaign said that it was “investigating some very unusual voting patterns,” as the MAGA congresswoman was on the brink of losing her reelection bid.
As Democrat Eileen Laubacher’s lead over Boebert grew slightly Thursday in the race to represent Colorado’s 4th District, Boebert’s campaign released a statement suggesting foul play. Scott Gessler, the attorney for the campaign, claimed that the votes had been “trending” in Boebert’s favor since election night, “consistently lowering the margin under one percentage point.”
“We are investigating some very unusual voting patterns and expect this election to head to a recount, one way or another,” Gessler continued.
As of Friday morning, Laubacher was still leading Boebert 48.75 percent to 47.94 percent, with 97 percent reporting. The two candidates had a margin of 3,069 votes, more than three times the automatic recount threshold of 921 votes. Boebert’s campaign could still choose to pay for a recount.
I hope her campaign can’t afford to pay for a recount. Do you need to put down a deposit or something because I wouldn’t trust them to actually pay at all.
It depends on state and how close the count is. If within a certain margin all states, to my limited knowledge, will allow recounts as I have heard through the years. But if the win is by enough of a percentage the candidate has to pay for it.
I think when Harris wanted it, it was 2 million? But that’s national, should be much cheaper for a state recount. I doubt her party would give her the money.
