Democratic CD-3 candidate Adam Frisch, battling to restore the honor of the Third Congressional District after two years of freshman GOP doe in a China shop (would still break lots of stuff) Rep. Lauren Boebert, is projecting confidence going into the last few days of voting, sending out a release yesterday asking the next logical question in the event Frisch does pull off an underdog victory in this GOP-leaning district–will Lauren Boebert concede?
With Election Day less than a week away, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) has still declined to say she’ll accept the results of the Nov. 8 election even if she loses against challenger Adam Frisch. Frisch has been outpacing Boebert in fundraising and closing in on Boebert in the polls, with a recent Keating Research poll showing Frisch in a statistical tie with Boebert. Frisch has also recently been endorsed by Republican leaders in the district including state Sen. Don Coram of Montrose, who ran against Boebert in the 2022 Republican primary election, and former Republican Colorado House Speaker Russ George.
As Election Day approaches, Frisch is demanding that Boebert commit to accepting the election results regardless of the outcome.
“I call on Boebert to commit to accepting the results of the November election regardless of the outcome,” Frisch said. “I am fully committed to affirming the results of the Nov. 8 election as the will of CO-3 voters. It is essential to our Democracy that candidates on both sides of the political spectrum reaffirm trust in our elections. Our elections are secure and every Coloradan can rest assured that their vote will be counted.”
“It’s highly concerning that Rep. Boebert has refused to say that she would accept the election results if the voters of Colorado’s 3rd congressional district decide to send me to Congress,” Frisch said.
Boebert is far from the only Republican candidate running in 2022 to be cagey about whether she’ll accept the results. The most prominent example of this is Arizona gubernatorial candidate and leading election conspiracy theorist Kari Lake, who has made such a point about not promising to accept the results that it might scare some voters into voting for Lake just to avoid the worst-case scenario. There are plenty of others. After Donald Trump opened the door to violently rejecting election results Republicans don’t like, next Tuesday is a major test of American democracy all over the country.
As for Boebert? We can say with some confidence that she doesn’t expect to lose.
And that could spell trouble if she does. You’d be a fool to discount the possibility completely.

Sadly, she won't need to.
Adam Frisch seems to be a smart, honorable guy who would make a great US Representative. In a normal election cycle, he would probably win this race.
But with the wave coming, Lauren Boebert the Worthless Piece of Shit is going to float right into a second term.
What is a better question is whether Erik Aakland will narrowly lose and insist that Brittany Petersen stole the election from him.
Let's be honest. Democrats want Boebert to stick around as much as Republicans. You love to hate her, you'll be bored without her.
And your income will be cut in half without her.
You, the radical-right King of Crapola, actually have the nerve, the chutzpah — the unmitigated gall — to use the term, "let's be honest"?
Moddy, I rarely agree with you but this one time you may actually be right.
There probably are Dems who like her for fundraising purposes. And let’s not forget that the Dems threw money into the Ron Hanks campaign.
In much the same way that your side loves to have AOC and the rest of the Squad to rant about and to scare the shit out of your base.
Moderatus, honesty is not the PolCats strong suit. Now if you had said groupthink you would be 100% accurate. Maybe……Progress Now Colorado wants Boebert………..
Well, there are a couple of election deniers on this blog.
JFC, Moddy how much time do you think we really spend thinking about this clown? I spend more time fighting with squirrels in my yard, which is a few seconds a day.
What wave? What substantiates that theory?
Should she lose, whether she pulls a trump depends on how fast her next job offer comes along. She’s nutty, and slutty, enough to fit right on at Newsmax or OAN.
But not blonde so therefore, no Fox News.
They still make wigs and bleach. Pew pew will be as authentic a blonde as she was a congressman.
Whatever. Boebert will go the way of Marilyn Musgrave, who never conceded. Remember her? Not many people do.
Is she still holed up in the Motel 6 in Fort Morgan refusing to come out?
That’s exactly what I’ve been thinking. She’ll vanish like Muskrat did. Not even show her face at her wake, er, victory party. She’ll go home and sulk, then sneak into D.C. in the middle of the night to pack up her office.
boebert should be sent packing back to Florida….where she belongs, and can become a desantis
hooker, I mean, skank for hire, in one of his perverted schemes…Colorado Sun interviewed six CD3 unaffiliated voters.
Two supported Boebert, and will vote for her this year.
Three definitely won’t vote for her .
One seems undecided.
Gonna be close.
YES!!!!! INSHALLAH
A sample size of six? I'm impressed.
Didn't know the Sun was into Cletus safaris.
I'd be pleasantly surprised if Sloebert won by less than 5%.
