Lauren Boebert's Team Flags 'Unusual Voting Patterns' As She Trails Rival
Lauren Boebert is trailing Democrat Eileen Laubacher in her battle to secure re-election to the House of Representatives.
Representative Lauren Boebert's campaign team has flagged "unusual voting patterns" in her re-election bid for the House of Representatives, as she trails Democrat Eileen Laubacher in Colorado's 4th Congressional District. Laubacher currently leads with 48.75 percent of the vote, while Boebert has 47.95 percent with 97 percent of the vote counted, according to The Associated Press.
Boebert's campaign attorney Scott Gessler stated that a significant number of votes remain outstanding, and the campaign is "fighting for every vote" to ensure every legal vote is counted. Since election night, the number of votes favoring Boebert has been consistently lower than one percentage point, and the campaign has launched an investigation into these "unusual voting patterns." They expect the election to head to a recount, either way.
Newsweek reached out to both Boebert's and Laubacher's election campaigns for comment outside of working hours.
