Boebert's winning handily, I'm afraid

[DavidDvorkin]

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%

1. I never heard of a rumored flood.

And her Republican opponent never amounted to much.

[gldstwmn]

5. He's the state senator for that district.

[Hugin]

6. ...

Her Republican opponent never amounted to much?

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

[brooklynite]

15. I actually have a fairly simple starting point....

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.

[Hugin]

16. A reasonable metric.

Sort of along the lines of the light switch test in the White House.

2. There just aren't enough of us

It's a mostly rural, farming district with a few small liberal areas.

[FSogol]

3. Her supporters are dumb boebs too.

[Takket]

4. i thought her district got wiped out in the new maps?

or is she running in a new district?

[Hugin]

7. She's running in a larger new district.

If I recall.

[dchill]

8. It's a primary - between Republicans.

[gldstwmn]

11. Her opponent isn't that much like her.

Who the hell is though?

[hlthe2b]

9. Yeah, but indicted fraudster Tina Peters lost handily in her primary for SOS

Pam Anderson 45.5%
Mike O'Donnell 29.2%
Tina Peters 25.3%

14. We do have that to be thankful for!

[FBaggins]

10. It's the second I believe

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

[DavidDvorkin]

12. She has been declared the winner.

[gldstwmn]

13. Welp. Her Democratic opponent will be Adam Frisch.

On edit it might be Sol Sandoval.

[Laffy Kat]

18. I recently sent Sol some $$.

Imma do some more.

[Laffy Kat]

17. As a Coloradan I am horrified and embarrassed.

[gldstwmn]

19. So am I. All of my reps are Dems and ran unopposed. Ouray is such a beautiful part of CO.

Her and Ken Buck's districts seem to have a taste for crazy.

[Laffy Kat]

20. Ouray and Telluride are my two favorite Colorado towns.

[gldstwmn]

21. I haven't been to Telluride for quite a while. I need to get back over there sometime.

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.

22. A perp walk from her Congressional office will taste all the sweeter
