District.
It’s like the end scene of “Return of the Jedi.” Can’t you hear the music?
After an extremely close race that took nearly a week to call, Democrat Eileen Laubacher claimed victory over incumbent Republican U.S. Rep. Boebert in the CD4 race.

Scott Gessler, Colorado’s former Republican Secretary of State, released a statement through Boebert’s campaign late on Nov. 5, claiming that the team is “investigating some very unusual voting patterns” and expects “this election to head to a recount, one way or another.”
But could a recount really make a difference? Would going back through the ballots make up for the around-3,000-vote deficit?…..
