Democrat Eileen Laubacher declared victory on Monday, Nov. 9, over Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert in Colorado's 4th Congressional District. The count is not final.
Where the count stands
On the Colorado secretary of state's official results page, last updated at 5:19 p.m. Mountain time Monday, Laubacher had 186,199 votes, or 48.8%, to Boebert's 182,847, or 47.9%, a lead of 3,352 votes, with Libertarian Douglas Mangeris at 12,615 and the county canvass, the official tally that comes before certification, not due until Nov. 25.
What still has to happen
Colorado's counties are still finishing their counts, and the state's 2026 election calendar sets the remaining steps.
| Date | Step |
|---|---|
| Nov. 11, 11:59 p.m. MT | Last day for voters to fix a signature problem or missing ID so a mail or provisional ballot counts |
| Nov. 13 | First day a candidate or other interested party can ask for a recount at their own expense |
| Nov. 25 | Counties must finish the canvass and send official results to the state, and the last day to request a paid recount |
| Nov. 27 | Last day for the secretary of state to compile returns and order any required recounts |
| Dec. 4 | Last day to finish a recount required by law |
| Dec. 8 | Last day to finish a recount that a candidate or other party requested |
Whoever asks for a recount pays for it. The county clerk has four days after the request to set the price, and no later than Nov. 27.
Neither Boebert's congressional office site nor her campaign site had posted a statement on the result as of Monday evening.
The winner will serve in the 120th Congress.
