UPDATE: Adam Frisch, Democratic challenger to Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) has conceded the race for Colorado’s 3rd House District seat, The Hill reports late Friday, even though the margin was small enough to trigger an automatic recount.
“The likelihood of the recount changing more than a handful of votes is very small,” Frisch said in his concession.
The GOP now has 219 House seats to the Democratic Party’s 212, with four races remaining to be determined.

After the GOP clinched the House after incumbent Rep. Mike Garcia of California was declared the winner earlier this week, five seats remain up for grabs. As of Friday morning the Republican count was still at 218 and Democrats have 212 seats, according to The Guardian.
One race that appears to be headed to an automatically triggered recount is for Colorado’s 3rd District. With 95% of ballots counted, incumbent MAGA firebrand Lauren Boebert was leading Democratic challenger Adam Frisch by 551 votes, or 50.08% to 49.92%, according to The New York Times.
