Voters in the dem primary for all candidates numbered around 54K. Boebert got 80K. All republican primary voters were 122K. I don't want to be pessimistic - maybe some of the various troubles following Boebert will ramp up and have an effect, but it's obvious the people in the district they're running in is full of idiots.

Thousands of Colorado Democrats registered as Repukes so they could vote for Boebert's opponent in the primary. It doesn't mean they will vote red in the general election, it just meant they wanted to mess up her primary chances.

Boebert's opponent got around 44K votes. If we take for granted that Boebert is going to get her 80K again, and Frisch his 54K, then 35K of the 44K that Boebert's opponent got will need to go to Frisch for a tie. Do we have any numbers on whether the democratic switchers numbered anywhere close to that?

He is practical, has a plan, and wants to work on water issues affecting Colorado River District.
He hardest sell will be with east slope Coloradans who don't share the same interests as west slope folk.
