Trial Balloon · Ep. 191: Blue Wave Update

Lauren Boebert May Hang On

November 10, 2022 · 5:14 pm ET · Leave a Comment

FiveThirtyEight: “In Colorado’s 3rd District, Boebert may hold on: She now leads by 794 votes and her lead grew even with light-blue Pueblo County reporting most of its remaining votes. ABC News estimates that around 5,000 votes are outstanding in the district, which means Frisch would need to win 58 percent of those to win, which seems unlikely.”

“But as we’ve seen, the vote method and timing matters. Colorado is a vote-by-mail state, but votes dropped off on Election Day tend to be more Republican, while those coming through the mail tend to be more Democratic. So until we have the results in hand, it’s hard to know just how red or blue a batch of newly reported votes will be.”
