Adam Frisch has urged voters to take “deep breaths” as votes continue to be counted in Colorado in the tight race between the Democrat and MAGA Republican Lauren Boebert.
Republicans are just one seat away from control of the House of Representatives, with the balance of power potentially hinging on the outcome of Ms Boebert’s race among serveral others that have not yet been decided.
Ms Boebert’s race is still too close to call and it is unlikely that the outcome will be known until the end of the week – at the soonest.
County clerks are waiting to process and tally ballots as overseas and military ballots postmarked by election day arrive, along with a deadline to fix mail-in ballots with errors.
The far-right Republican is currently leading Mr Frisch by just 1,122 votes in what has shaped up to be an unexpectedly close race. The race could be headed for an automatic recount if neither candidate fails to win by a margin of more than 0.5 per cent.
