Reelection Bid of Far-Right Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert Headed for Recount
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Colorado, the race between far-right Republican Congressmember Lauren
Boebert and Democratic challenger Adam Frisch appears headed for a
recount after an initial tally showed Boebert's lead at just over 500
votes out of 327,000 counted. Boebert is a far-right Trump supporter, an
election denier, and infamously vowed to carry her Glock pistol on the
Capitol grounds. Last year Republican Leader Kevin Mc Carthy refused to
sanction Boebert after she used racist language to attack her Muslim
colleagues.
