Frisch Supports Colorado Mandatory Recount!

It is not over. A recount will determine if Lauren Boebert is the winner.

Even though Democrat candidate Adam Frisch conceded, the state of Colorado has not certified the results of the 3rd Congressional District race. That means Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) is not actually the winner. 

She may have to wait a week or so for the state to do a mandatory recount which will decide whether Boebert wins with less than 600 votes or Frisch actually won and will be certified upon completion.

The controversial lawmaker became a major problem in Congress. As Frisch pointed out, Boebert, Washed Up 45, the Freedumb Caucus, The Squad, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Fox, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and 80 other lawmakers are part of the "angertainment" which is driving this country into chaos. 

Boebert became so much of a problem, nearly 50% of her constituents voted against her. 

Now with Congress looming in its lame duck session, Boebert must sit out hearing until she is certified by the state as the winner.

Frisch, a former Aspen city councilman who did far better in the red district than he was expected to, has already conceded the race to Boebert, a first-term congresswoman. But Griswold said she must follow election law.

“The results of the District 3 race reinforce the fact that every vote matters,” Griswold said in a statement. “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.”

If the recount favors Adam Frisch, he will be certified the winner.

The recount must be completed by Dec. 13.

The Secretary of State’s Office said the 26 counties that make up the sprawling 3rd District — in addition to a part of Eagle County — will work with their bipartisan canvass boards to complete a logic and accuracy test on the required tabulation equipment.

Then, the counties will begin recounting all ballots in the race “in the same manner they were processed during the election.” That means the counties will rescan the ballots using its tabulation equipment, except for San Juan County, which will manually recount its ballots, the office said.

Because the recount was automatically triggered, the Secretary of State’s office foots the bill.
