Colorado Representative Lauren Boebert’s campaign said that it was “investigating some very unusual voting patterns,” as the MAGA congresswoman was on the brink of losing her reelection bid.

As Democrat Eileen Laubacher’s lead over Boebert grew slightly Thursday in the race to represent Colorado’s 4th District, Boebert’s campaign released a statement suggesting foul play. Scott Gessler, the attorney for the campaign, claimed that the votes had been “trending” in Boebert’s favor since election night, “consistently lowering the margin under one percentage point.”

“We are investigating some very unusual voting patterns and expect this election to head to a recount, one way or another,” Gessler continued.

As of Friday morning, Laubacher was still leading Boebert 48.75 percent to 47.94 percent, with 97 percent reporting. The two candidates had a margin of 3,069 votes, more than three times the automatic recount threshold of 921 votes. Boebert’s campaign could still choose to pay for a recount.

I was watching 9News with Kyle Clark all night on election night. At no point was she within 1 percentage point on election night. She was down like 3% all night. Not sure how she thinks this is a weird trend, considering now more of the more likely to be Republican voters are trickling in from voting on election day in person.

At one point, the local correspondant at her election night campaign event pointed out how much fun she was having for someone that was losing the election. She was slamming Busch Lights all night and swing dancing with her boyfriend.

Kyle Clark pulled out a zinger and said "I'm not sure if I'm really allowed to say this on local news, but we had a saying in college: Boozin', even if we're losin' " 😂
