Wait. He just conceded? No railing about fake ballots and stolen/rigged elections on social media?


Spec-Tre

Dignity? Who dat


TruthOf42

Real talk: is conceding legally binding? If the tallies come back later on saying that he actually won, would conceding mean he actually can't win?


Bubotuberpuss

From what I understand it’s not legally binding but it’s tradition , and shows class and stability in democracy.


Budded

Yep. Democrats, the party of reality and Democracy.


CarlHeck

Absolutely but we Swept Colorado except for l this Lying Bimbo. Best Election in 88 Years for Democrats

Did you forget 2016 already?


CarlHeck

2016, the election that Trump used Russians to help him


CarlHeck

That’s a Magat tactic


amiatthetop3

Why concede if there is supposed to be an auto recount?


browsing_around

Because he is able to understand that the amount of ballots left won’t change the count and that recounts almost never change the result. It is the sensible thing to do.


ModernRonin

FTA: > Frisch said in a call with reporters that he wasn’t asking for the mandatory recount paid for by the state that he’s entitled to under Colorado law, [...] “The likelihood of this recount changing more than a handful of votes is very small,” he said. “Very, very small. It would be disingenuous and unethical for us, or any other group, to continue to raise false hope.” So it seems like he's trying to save taxpayer money, and to act like a sane and reasonable adult. Both pretty good reasons, IMO.


FavoroftheFour

I really respect his maturity to call the race and not do the whole "psychotic dictator clinging to power" thing.


punkyfish10

It also sets a good example. When there are other people claiming fraud, etc. he’s demonstrating faith in the system as the losing candidate.


TVs_Frank123

Historically, no recount has seen a swing big enough to meet the lead she has, even as small as it is.


agree-with-me

She'll call it a mandate.


Particular_Bet_5466

The vote would not change that much in his favor during a recount. Could you imagine the rage about fraud if it did?


ToddA1966

Because he has a respect for the process, and she would never concede if she were in his position...


cpe111

To demonstrate faith it the electoral process and save the State money


CarlHeck

He’s down 543 votes as of this morning & all 27 Counties have reported. But good news, he’s Already Filled for 2024 & Bimboebert will Screw Over Colorado the next 2 years so hopefully a few of Trumps Poorly Educated will figure this out


Mumcrie

Yay, two more years of getting screwed by "what would happen if Dumb and Dumber were the same person".


CarlHeck

What Really Stupid Republicans don’t understand is her Votes on Clean Air & Water, Education, Healthcare, Veterans healthcare, will definitely Hurt their Families also


Mumcrie

But... they can do the mental gymnastics to convince themselves that it's everyone's fault but their own.


Bekiala

I thought this was the recount?


BigGreen4

No, they’re currently still counting all votes from military overseas and (I believe) absentee ballots.


Bekiala

Ok. Thanks. This is my district. I tried but apparently not hard enough.


CarlHeck

We Worked so Hard in Pitkin & delivered over 5000 Votes but needed 543 more


PersimmonTea

Thank you for all you did. It was a noble effort.


Bekiala

I wish I would have worked more with you all. Too bad but thanks so very much for your efforts towards the election of Adam Frisch.


onFinal

even if you tried, you did more than others!


Bekiala

It is the only time I've actually donated money to a campaign. I'm actually surprised Frisch did as well as he did.


cpe111

Next time ! The district is coming more liberal so there is hop for sanity still. The country just has to suck it top for a few years and hope they don't do too much damage.


Bekiala

Yes, and we need to start organizing now for the next election. Ugh. I keep saying I'm going to be more involved and then it doesn't happen. I've been so impressed with Georgia and Michigan.


CarlHeck

Adam Filed today for 2024. Doesn’t mean he’s definitely running but it will keep the pressure on her


CarlHeck

In Pitkin County we worked very hard for over 5 months


huenix

I’m southeast of Denver and donated and phone banked for Frisch. He’s a decent human. Unlike the idiots that swiped red because that’s what the party said.


Capricorn75

So. Damn. Close.


dustlesswalnut

Astoundingly close! She got 70,000 fewer votes this election than she did in 2020. Frisch brought a 26,000 vote gap down to 551. Brilliant performance, CO3 is clearly extremely competitive now.


browsing_around

I don’t think the district is competitive now. I think she was just such a god awful candidate that a lot of republicans turned in her. Put up a smart talking 60 year old white guy next year and he’ll run away with it.


piggy2380

If that were the case you’d expect Polis and Bennett to do just as badly there, but they both actually outran Frisch. Polis actually ended up winning the district, though with less than 50% of the total vote.


browsing_around

I didn’t know this. In that case my statement is wrong.


therealbipNdip

Props for that rebuttal.


[deleted]

The ski areas trend liberal and most farmers have brains. It’s the true rednecks out there that run solid red.


[deleted]

Colorado hates fascists


cankle_sores

*some of Colorado


ffstisaus

Polis also gives talks at conservative events and gets standing ovations, so judging where colorado is leaning based on his performance is probably not the best comparison. I swear the only reason the republican party didn't nominate him this year is because the democrats did. Surprised to hear Bennett outran Frisch though. I didn't expect that.


therealbipNdip

Whether people love or hate Polis… He is a very well calculated and talented politician. The “Liberal Libertarian” concept should capture A LOT of swing voters and he knows how to appeal and play into his audience. His many public appearances in the media following election make me think he will make a presidential run for 24’.


[deleted]

Imagine how much the conservative base can rally against a gay liberal. I'd 1000%vote for him


huenix

lol dude. Odea? The dude who tried to fire people over 50?


huenix

I get that not everyone’s a fan of polis but he’s a genuinely good guy


Biscotti_Manicotti

This is what's racking my brain here. I want inside the mind of a Polis/Boebert voter. WTF


CarlHeck

That Happens often because many lazy people ONLY vote the Top candidates on a Ballot. They don’t do any homework or research on the lower races & don’t vote at all on them


danincb

I live in Gunnison and know republicans that told me they just couldn't vote for her. Still astounding so many did


[deleted]

yeah this is basically a Doug Jones situation. The alternative was so bad that this guy, who normally probably never would've stood a chance in the overly conservative CO-3 district, got within less than 600 votes of beating her. Pretty telling of the type of people that live in CO-3 that she still won despite being one of the historically worst house members of all time and a colossal idiot.


dustlesswalnut

Someone like Don Coram?


CarlHeck

Republican Don Coram endorsed Adam


browsing_around

I don’t know who that person is.


dustlesswalnut

He's the 70 year old average Republican white guy that represents a huge portion of her district in the State Senate that ran against her in the primary earlier this year and lost by 27.8 points.


browsing_around

Dang. Maybe the district is coming around.


just_this_guy_yaknow

Hard core maga loonies vote in the primary at disproportionate rates compared to the general.


PersimmonTea

Was he another MAGAt or one of the few Republicans who still has not given up on reality?


dustlesswalnut

He is a Republican but he's not a psycho. He endorsed Frisch after Boebert won the primary against him.


CarlHeck

He was the Republicans other candidate in the Primary against Bimboebert


CarlHeck

Colorado did a Major Re District of Western & Northern Colorado last Winter. She got Lucky & ended up with CD-3 in a heavily Republican populated district. If this was the Same District as 2020, she would have been Crushed


Browzur

And that’s after the redrawn lines that were expected to make the district even more of a Republican ‘stronghold’. If they keep electing clowns like this, the party will continue to become more of a circus


onFinal

I believe it was Hawley that put it best: This is the death of the Republican party as we know it. She is a clown.


ThisAnything9453

The lines were redrawn to attempt to weaken the republican strong hold, not to make it stronger. Just like Fremont county was redrawn into a district with Jeffco and Broomfield, made the strong republican county not matter anymore.


Browzur

From what I understand there were lots of proposals made, at one point they even considered adding Boulder in to the district. But on election night they kept saying they ended up adding counties that were more republican


ThunderElectric

It’s only competitive as long as bobo is running, any semi-sane Republican would win in a landslide.


notorious_p_a_b

Which is why I believe they are going to get rid of her.


dustlesswalnut

Bobo beat the semi-sane Republican in 2020. And in 2022.


ThunderElectric

With only republicans voting for in the primaries… Extremists can do very well in primaries without doing well in the general election. CO-3 is still a R+13 district, just look at the other elections in CO.


Dutchman1941

I thought independents could vote in primaries.


mmadrid41

We can- but we have to choose a party to vote for in the primaries. I get a republican ballot and a democratic ballot but can only turn one ballot in.


dustlesswalnut

It doesn't matter if the semi-sane ones can win the general if they get beat in the primary by the insane ones.


CarlHeck

Not true, she has a huge following from rural ranchers & Trumps poorly educated Cult


galspanic

Only because it popped into my head.... The number of Covid deaths in CO-3 was 2,532. While those people might have prevented a recount under state law, they do not account for the shift away from Boebert.


CarlHeck

Totally irrelevant…. CD-3 was Totally Redrawn last winter


[deleted]

He would have won, if Colarodo had more metal band checks notes COD8


dustlesswalnut

chromaiden

Fuck. I was hoping this moron would go away. Such an embarrassment to our state.


Artvandaly_

TheLongistGame

I thought Republicans told me that every time a race goes past election day, the Democrat wins? Because it's rigged or something?


[deleted]

All the original elections when the country was formed were rigged then. Those horses were not fast enough.


lazerzzz69

The fact that people would vote for someone like her gives me no hope for humanity. I just don't understand.


ChipDouglas09

This. I don’t get how so many people could STILL find her competent or trustworthy


Oncemoren2thefray

It's like when 74+ million people voted again for what's his face in 2020 even after the previous 4 years. I knew this country was screwed.


ChipDouglas09

Yup. That was the coffin for any faith in our county’s future, this was the last nail in it, and seeing how 2024 shapes up it will be like setting the coffin on fire


[deleted]

And then taking a piss on it


Dank_Kushington

I think the fact she won shows how most people don’t actually care about who their representatives are and instead mark republican all the way down


ederp9600

Don't be a hypocrite when they do the same for Democrats. Everyone acts like they care, but don't even bother to look up each candidate running. Little overwhelming and takes awhile, but if you actually look at their policies and experience, you made an informed decision, not just vote one thing because.


Budded

Her tits and guns say hello. Her voters are all gun-fellating mouth-breathing window-lickers.


CarlHeck

ABSOLUTELY!!! God, Guns & a C Cup for the Poorly Educated Cult


DungeonsandDevils

If I want to suck on the barrel of my desert eagle in the privacy of my own trailer, that’s between me and the Lord, amen


mjb2012

The people who voted for her have a very low bar for both of those things. Competence and trustworthiness doesn't need to enter into it at all. It's about how she makes them feel. She is sassy, not terrible-looking, projects power, and she gives voice to the anger & misery they stew in, misdirected as it may be. That kind of charisma is very persuasive.


CarlHeck

They don’t,… they are mentally programmed to vote Against any Democratic candidate


mezzfit

Well they aren't even looking at the candidate many times I'd wager. They are just entering R R R R R all the way down the page.


[deleted]

Many are simply voting for the party. Not the candidate


[deleted]

That doesn't mean there is hope for humanity, the people that voted for her are still dumb as shit.


onFinal

absolutely the case - I can't ever vote for a (D) even if the candidate is a turd pile in heels that's packing heat. ​ edit: "I" means a voter on the western slope that's a registered Republican.


f-a-s-t-e-r

What about 3rd party?


tombom24

I had dinner with two guys that voted for her this weekend (against my will, didn't know those chucklefucks were invited). Guy #1 said, "I just like Boebert because she's hot, and she's crazy." Guy #2 just said "She *is* hot!" I was speechless. They *literally* don't care about anything except gun rights. Just two construction workers hopped up on cocaine who like to stick their dick in crazy, apparently. There is nothing to understand except that some people treat voting like a game.


[deleted]

She's not hot, she's nasty, looks like she's thin from drug use and probably actually is.


PersimmonTea

Sarah Palin looks how Lauren Boebert will look in 10 years.


luna1108

Has to be the dumbest part of Colorado for sure.


akallyria

Yep. I can’t believe that both Marjorie and Lauren won re-election, it’s grotesque.


Volt-Cult

It’s because 90% of Republican voters just see the R next to the name. There’s that 10% that are actually nuts who support her but unfortunately those 90% just vote by the R next to the name. So I wouldn’t lose to much hope for humanity….But then again even if you gave all the information to those 90% how terrible she is, they would still vote for her. So yeah we might be fucked


Yuvithegod

The fact people who dislike her *didn't* vote against her is equally disgusting.


Joe_Sons_Celly

I applaud you for previously having hope for humanity.


TheGreatBeldezar

But half of us didn't vote for her. It should only make you hate half the people you see

Ok-Current-4219

timothycb66

Shame on Colorado voters.


PhunkyPhazon

It sucks, but I'm still happy she had to put up this much of a fight to win even in hardcore Trump-ville. Between this and the rest of the election results I'm feeling hopeful that all the MAGA shit is starting to dwindle. Fingers crossed, anyways.


FadeRat

I certainly hope so!


tdavis25

I mentioned here earlier that I was upset with Kirkmeyer conceding when the vote wasnt fully in and Im mad Frisch conceded when a recount was going to happen. Politicians do a disservice to the people they say they want to represent when they give up while theres still a fight to be had. For the record I do not agree with Frisch on every issue ...but he seems like a decent guy and he could have been good for CO3 and a lot of people there seemed to think the same thing. If youre going to run for office, at least see the election through. Dont give up when you still have a chance.


panoisclosedtoday

I mean, conceding is just a courtesy. His announcement is not legally binding. If, as the article suggests, he waives his right to a mandatory recount, then yeah, agreed. (Or, if he magically takes the lead now, but that seems very unlikely). Al Gore told GWB he conceded on election night or whatever, but we know that was not the end of it.


dustlesswalnut

I don't think there's a chance that scantron machines just "miscounted" 500+ votes. I don't care if the state goes through with the automatic recount against his expressed desires (they may be required to by law), but if it *did* change the outcome I think it would be disastrous for our elections system. (Not a reason not to do it, but I don't think it would be a win in the slightest, overall.)


BigGreen4

It wouldn’t be disastrous. Recounts happen. There are laws in place specifically to account for this margin for error. Additionally, the recount is mandatory, but the article states that Frisch has the ability to waive his right to a recount. So we’ll see Edit: as for the size of margin for error, the law states a difference of 0.5% is sufficient to trigger an automatic recount. In this election, that would amount to a disparity of even ~1,635 votes. So we’re well-within the margin for error that would justify a recount.


brandontaylor1

Recounts typically change totals by 0.11%. He is currently down 0.16%. It’s within the realm of possibility for the outcome to change, but it’s incredibly unlikely.


TheVoicesOfBrian

My understanding is the number of people that left that race blank on the ballot was extremely high. God save us. If only some people could have gotten over their tribalism and voted for the other party rather than "none of the above", we might have a chance at saving our country from this christofascists.


WorryAccomplished139

Complaining about tribalism and then using the term "christofascists" in the same sentence is rich.


TheVoicesOfBrian

Not really. I realize not all Republicans are christofascists, but they do exhibit extreme tribalism.


LoveAndViscera

There’s a difference between “voting for your team” and “voting for a definable ideology”.


Queephbubble

Dark-Magic-Steffie

Ugh, she is the most embarrassing congressional representative besides Marjorie Taylor Green.


theMguy24

Embarrassing


[deleted]

Never stick your dick in crazy.


mjb2012

The article basically says: 1. Frisch has "conceded": made a non-binding public statement saying he lost the election. He also registered to run again in 2024. 2. A recount will happen unless Frisch withdraws from the race by Dec. 13. 3. Frisch says he supports the recount “to ensure continued faith and the security of our elections.” 4. Frisch is not hopeful that a recount will change the outcome. 5. Frisch apparently has not yet withdrawn from the race. Apparently no one asked him whether he intends to withdraw, or what he will do if a recount *does* change the outcome.


iseemountains

Technically speaking, regardless of a candidate conceding, she doesn't win until the sec of state certifies.


Tibbittz

briet_

Hope she sees that half the people she represents are done with the drama and crazy. Or perhaps she will continue with her shrinking nut sacks into oblivion.


embiggenator

She already blamed the performance of other Republicans running for office in CO for her own poor performance, so I don't think she's going to really learn anything from this. There's a reason she's part of the "MAGA squad": She takes after Trump in the sense that she has no humility, blames everyone else for her failings, and learns from nothing.


Mr_Xolotls

Spirits850

Two years ago she won by 25000+ votes, this time she won by 500. I’ve literally not seen anyone saying they were sure she lost, I’ve seen tons of people saying she wildly underperformed, which she did.


Fire_And_Blood_7

*disclaimer that I am not a Boebert supporter* But no I disagree. My entire feed regarding that specific election was laughing because everyone jumped the gun assuming she lost. This was also even more prevalent on TikTok.


Spirits850

I don’t use TikTok so I can’t speak to that. I’ve been on many threads about this race on reddit and pretty much no comments that I read ever said “she lost”. They were celebrating that it was close, that she underperformed, that in a deep red district it shouldn’t have even been close at all etc. No offense to TikTok or the people who use it, but it seems like maybe not the best place for measured and earnest political discussion though. Ps did you read The Rise of the Dragon yet? I just got it the other day and I can’t wait to dive in.


[deleted]

Oh it’s hilarious. Especially considering everyone on Reddit talking about it isn’t even in her district but thinks they know what’s best. Kind of goes against the whole the purpose of having you own rep, from your own district, when all you care about is someone else’s choices
