(523 posts)...he will waive the automatic recount. I'm not sure I would have done that. Maybe Colorado doesn't have the opportunity for clerical mistakes the way some jurisdictions do.

(8,864 posts)He's only 0.2 down in the count (about 554 votes).
This will trigger an automatic recount, as I understand it.

(24,554 posts)He probably doesn't think he will win
Conceding is a courtesy. It likely provides some closure for his supporters who don't want to sit on pins and needles for a month.
He could still win the recount.
The odds are small that he will win
If he looses, then everyone has already moved on.

(2,099 posts)'The voters have spoken,' Frisch said. 'The likelihood of this recount changing more than a handful of votes is very small - very, very small.'
But he said his race against the GOP firebrand was proof that 'extremist politicians can be defeated, loud voices are not invincible and shouting will not solve problems.'
'I heard time and time again on the campaign trail, America is tired of the circus, tired of the lack of respect for our institutions and our democracy, and tired of the lack of civility in our discourse,' the Democrat said.
'Most importantly, folks in western and southern Colorado are tired of the lack of a serious representative, of having representation that is more interested in self-promotion through the anger-tainment industry,' he said of Boebert.

Lauren Boebert is a complete asshole yet she beat Frisch by 551 votes?

(20,043 posts)If the margin is less than 1/2% of the winner's total, the recount is automatic, by law. Her total right now is 163, 832. 1/2% would be 820. Frisch is only behind by 560.

(1,257 posts)In the 2020 election there were 420,000 votes cast in CO District 3.
This year? 327,000. ALL elections are either won or lost by turnout. Fuck the polls, fuck early or late or just-in-time or ballot boxes or whatever, fuck the extreme amounts of money spent... she won by 500 fucking votes. Of the 93,000 who voted two years ago who couldn't be bothered to show up this time, do you think perhaps maybe 500 or so of them might have been Dems?
Fuck these fucking people for what they've given the rest of us who actually CARE about WTF happens in this world, a world in which they ALSO happen to exist.
