    tthere were so many posts around the web gloating about boebert being on her way out even though those margins were razor thin. she won by more votes than the last time she got in. until laws are made to make googe and meta accountable for the spread of misinformation and disinformation. i don't see the craziness fading any time soon.

    What a low energy loser. In this country we don't concede. Frisch not only was going to win but already won bigly. Then in the middle night all these dumps.. ALL THESE BIG DUMPS! Stole the election from him. Get out there and accuse Boebbert of working with Hugo Chavez to rig the vote! Call the Denver Post Fake News! Get your stupporters to storm the CO state house. That's how we do things in America!
    :p

    that’s pretty thoughtful given the predicament Sam Bankman-Fried finds himself in

    She won by over 9000 votes in 2020.

    You're trying too hard, again. Even If I may agree with you here.

    Stupid to block early voting.

    Update: Judge ordered GA to permit early voting on Sat before the runoff election. If this was just a law reason to block early voting, Raffensperger wouldn't appeal.

    Judge weighs Saturday voting legality in Ga. runoff election - ABC News (go.com)

    ATLANTA -- A judge is weighing whether Georgia law allows counties to offer early voting on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, which would be the only possibility for Saturday voting before next month's Senate runoff election between Democratic Sen Raphael Warnock and Republican Herschel Walker.

    Warnock's campaign, along with the Democratic Party of Georgia and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, filed a lawsuit this week arguing that early voting should be allowed that day. It challenges guidance by Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger that says it would be illegal to hold early voting on Saturday, Nov. 26, the day after a state holiday.

    Uzoma Nkwonta, a lawyer for the plaintiffs, noted that last week both Raffensperger and one of his top deputies said on national television that early voting would be allowed that day. Then, Nkwonta said, the secretary of state issued guidance to counties a few days later saying it wouldn't be allowed because the law doesn't permit early voting the day after a state holiday. Thanksgiving and the following Friday are both state holidays.

    Nkwonta argued at the hearing that the state holiday restriction applies only to primary and general elections, not to runoffs. Provisions in the law that directs the state's 159 counties to open early in-person voting “as soon as possible” for a runoff, and no later than Monday, Nov. 28, reinforce the idea that counties can choose to offer early voting that Saturday, he said.

    WTF, isn't Colorado ours?? A simple call to their Secretary of State would've found us the few measly thousand votes that would've secured his Godly landslide.

    He was bigly cucked by Bobo. Worse than spending family time with Eric.

    Perhaps I'm missing something but Dec. 3rd is also a Saturday so Nov. 26th isn;t the only Saturday for early voting before the election.

    Conceding? Why isn’t doing like Kari Lake and building a crack staff of lawyers and legal experts to take his election L to the courts?

    Dec 3rd is not allowed by GA law (early voting ends a week before Election Day - Dec 6th).

    I can't believe Boebert won. Shame on the people of Colorado for voting for that nutjob coup participant.

    I know you’re kidding but in this case I would have hung on until the last recounted ballot.

    Campaigns have their own internal polls and what Frisch might've been hearing was that he had no chance in the recount. Possibly that the margin against him could've increased in a recount. There is still some value in being a gracious loser especially if Frisch is seeking another run or even a more prominent office.

    I think they have plenty of data on recounts to know how many ballots typically get changed per capita. Meaning the odds a 500+ swing in such a small race is extremely unlikely.

    I'm sure Boebert could move to several districts in Texas and once legally qualified, win an election here.

    Oddly, Frisch has already filed to run for the same seat in 2024.

    Yep, a gun toting white woman who loves Trump and poses for Christmas cards with her kids holding assault rifles would fit right in with some of the rural white racist districts.
