Bye Bye Bobo! (?)

Rep. Lauren Boebert has been behind since votes started being counted last night. Over the course of today it appeared that she was most likely to eke out a victory by the smallest of margins. She was behind by a few thousand votes but the remain votes favored her. Her margin got down to just over 60 votes. (It’s currently at 73.) But as of a short while ago those votes from Boebert friendly areas are now tapped out and the much small number of remaining votes, according to an analysis Channel 9 in Denver, now come from counties where challenger Adam Frisch hols strong leads. They’re not quite calling yet. But the math makes it seem inevitable.

Edited to add:

Some think these votes may turn out to favor Bobo, so we wait.

1. Same thing I read elsewhere.

She's not in a position for the math to push her over the top!

[gldstwmn]

2. She's done!

19. right... she was down by 73; now she's down by 64.

4. Yet several people here keep saying she is going to win in each of these positive threads?

I don't get them? When everything is pointing to her losing based on the data being presented, why are several people here so dam negative based on nothing but assumptions based on nothing?

6. No shit..

[Beautiful Disaster]

7. No one knows. One second they call it for opponent and then for her and then for her opponent.

Best to just wait until all the votes are in.

[ancianita]

15. ONLY because it's not over until it's called. She's only behind by 73 votes. And it's not over.

[El Supremo]

5. It is way below the .5% that triggers an automatic recount. n/m

[Iwasthere]

9. That % will change I think. She'll likely have to pay for it.

That won't stop her. Enough magats will pony up

[Wavelight]

8. I sure do hope but...

10. Bang bang bang,... as I fire my AR-15,...

... as celebratory gunfire up into the sky.

Oops wait,... I don't even own a gun. Just got caught up in the Boebert moment.

Bang,... bang,.. bang,... anyways !!!!

11. I'll drink to that!

I just can't imagine why anyone would want a self-serving idiot as their representative. I'm still flummoxed that so many Georgians voted for Walker, who seems to be mentally challenged and is clearly morally bankrupt.

12. My local( in her district) paper's view on how this race became a race at all.

[Blaukraut]

13. Some here on DU seem awfully invested in Bobo pulling off a win n/t

[Rebl2]

16. I think the same

[ancianita]

17. Wrong. No one here is "invested in Bobo pulling off a win." They're just not invested in

calling the election before it's over, and some here on DU are.

[onenote]

18. +1

[republianmushroom]

14. would be nice
