Chris Pandolfo, Fox News: Colorado election results: Boebert opponent Frisch concedes race ahead of likely recount
More than a week after Election Day, the race for Colorado's 3rd Congressional District remains uncalled and is likely headed to an automatic recount, but Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert's Democratic challenger conceded the election Friday.
Boebert held a threadbare lead over former Aspen City Council member Adam Frisch, a Democrat.
As of Friday, with nearly all the votes counted, Boebert holds a 551-vote lead over Frisch out of nearly 327,000 votes cast, a difference of 0.16 percentage points. The Associated Press has deemed the race too close to call and will not do so until a potential recount happens.
Under Colorado state law, a mandatory recount occurs when the margin of victory in an election is within half a percentage point.
A recount in the race could take several weeks to complete. A Colorado statute instructs that a recount must be completed 35 days after the general election, which would be Dec. 13 this year.
