The drama around the US elections seems to continue. In the latest news from Colorado, the US republican nominee Lauren Boebert has won a second term in Congress and added the third district of Colorado under the republican house. The republicans already enjoy a majority in the house of representatives.

Boebert managed to beat her opponent businessman Adam Frisch with 546 votes. Due to the thin margin, an automatic recount was triggered under the Colorado law, which further confirmed her win.

This narrow win for Ms Boebert, a hardline conservative, came as a surprise. Before the elections that took place on 8th November, polling site FiveThirtyEight predicted Boebert’s win at 97 per cent.


She thanked all her supporters in a Twitter video after the recount. She also promised to uphold conservative principles and be a strong voice for the freedom given to humans by God.
