Democratic House candidate Adam Frisch is conceding to Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) after what turned out to be a tighter-than-expected race.
As of Friday, there was 95% of the expected vote counted in Boebert’s district.
And she was leading Frisch by roughly 550 votes.
As The Hill notes, “Colorado state law orders a mandatory recount when the vote margin between the two leading candidates is equal to or less than 0.5 percent of the votes attributed to the first-ranked candidate.”
Boebert’s margin is roughly .35%.
According to CNN, Frisch does not expect the recount to change the outcome of the race.
In a video posted on Twitter on Thursday night, Boebert claimed victory as she said, “Great news tonight as almost all the votes have finally been tallied.”
“I’m told that there are less than 200 votes outstanding which makes me so happy to announce we have won this race,” she continued.
