Boebert's winning handily, I'm afraid

The rumored wave of Democrats switching parties to vote against her didn't happen, or there simply aren't enough in her district to have much effect.

With 61% reporting:
Lauren Boebert 41,524 votes 63.5%
Don Coram 23,859 votes 36.5%

Her Republican opponent never amounted to much?

I am going to assume you are using an electron micrometer to determine the delta.

Can they assemble a professional looking website?

Don Coram couldn't.

And getting elected a State Senator in a rural area doesn't say much.

There are theoretically enough democrats in the district… but not enough that turn out for primaries.

It's breathtakingly beautiful.
On the bright side, Boebert is under investigation by the state for fraud. While she might be able to wrangle her way out of other things she is not likely to get away with that here. The Colorado Department of Revenue does not f*ck around.
