Sad news out of Colorado

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) officially clinched another term in the House on Monday after a recount confirmed her razor-thin victory in her reelection bid.

[...]

[T]he race was unexpectedly close, given the heavy GOP tilt of Colorado’s 3rd District.

[...]

A tally of the vote showed Boebert defeating her Democratic opponent Adam Frisch by just 546 votes.

While the narrow margin in the race triggered a mandatory recount under Colorado state law, Frisch, a conservative Democrat, conceded to Boebert last month, acknowledging that the recount was highly unlikely to swing the outcome of the contest.

[...]

In announcing his concession to Boebert last month, he urged supporters not to donate to his campaign during the recount.

“Please save your money for your groceries, your rent, your children,” he said.

Wow. I'm guessing Boebert didn't do the same.

I could be wrong.
