Eileen Laubacher widens lead over Lauren Boebert in Colorado 4th

politicsNov 5, 2026483,327

Democrat Eileen Laubacher leads Republican incumbent Lauren Boebert 184,059 (48.8%) to 180,782 (47.9%), a margin of about 3,277 votes with well over 95 percent of ballots reported. The AP reported Laubacher up 3,266 votes with an estimated 97 percent counted. Election analysts and campaign trackers say Boebert would need roughly 61.9 percent of the remaining ballots to overcome that gap, an unusually large share for outstanding ballots. The last sizable drop of Douglas County ballots favored Laubacher, a net gain of about 576 votes and her best Douglas County batch since election night. Laubacher is a retired two-star U.S. Navy rear admiral who served on the National Security Council; if her lead holds she would flip Colorado’s 4th District, a seat Trump carried by about 18 points in 2024. Boebert’s campaign has signaled it is reviewing voting patterns, while outlets continue to treat the race as too close to call until the remaining ballots are counted.

NEW: Last large ballot drop we expect is brutal for GOP Rep Lauren Boebert. 6400 DougCo ballots break +9 for Dem Eileen Laubacher (her best DougCo batch since election night). Adds 576 votes to her 0.87% lead - now up to 3266 votes. Every lean Boebert county is past its '22 total

I can’t believe they’re going to trade Lauren Boebert for a retired admiral. Talk about an upgrade.

Douglas County going +9 Dem is an EARTHQUAKE!!

This will give Bobo more time to help her son get out of prison.

Those numbers are wild, especially for any lifelong Coloradans

It's madness that this race is so close. Boebert is an utter failure and Laubacher's credentials are infinitely better.

Is she done? I hope so, because I never want to see her or hear her voice again!

I know this isn’t important but is she still dating the theater guy?

It looks like we will be sending bimBobert home and sending another dem in! So funny, she moved from her old district because she was afraid she would lose re-election. So her new district is voting to not re-elect her. Close race still, but looking good! #Blues #Colorado #Dems

This is what we call a kill shot of a ballot drop. Just a matter of time before this gets called for Laubacher.

She changed to this supposedly safer district back in 2024, lolol.

Lauren Boebert would need to win 61.3% of the remaining vote to beat Eileen Laubacher. Good luck with that, Gropert. 🤣

Looks like she is really going down this time. Politically, I mean.

IIRC Lauren Boebert's district was gerrymandered to make it more Repub friendly. Oh well, so much for stacking the deck.🤣

Horrifying that it’s even this close…

Cloppst3

Not gonna lie I had no idea who was running against Boebert. But wow. The Absolute quality of the democrats running this year is staggering.

Kathryn Lucht2

The only shocking news is that Lauren got 48% of the votes. Buh bye.

This'll be the cherry on top of these midterms

Trading Bobo for a garbage man would be an upgrade

Trading her for rusted out engineless Opel Admiral would be an upgrade.

I hate that for her.

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) lost her best hope for a comeback when her strongest county finished counting votes, leaving most remaining ballots in areas her Democratic challenger is winning.

She can always lend a hand at her local theater.

I'm sure she'll be pleased to hand off her seat to her successor.

She will move to Oklahoma soon and run again

ok look alaska uses RCV so that makes sense and i understand mississippi maybe doesn't have the resources to cure ballots super fast, they're in the weeds too, that makes sense, but WHAT is the holdup with lauren boebert's district

it is COLORADO. my cousin lives in colorado and she's a professional opera singer and both her kids do like world class traveling competing ballet school, it's not some backwater, people in colorado know how to count i assure you. let's get this show on the road colorado

Howell Jenkins's Collarbones6

I have a kind of real answer to this! CO votes almost exclusively by mail and hence verifies that every ballot is valid in-house (rather than at a polling place) and ALSO allows overseas ballots an extra 8 days to arrive, so in close races it can take quite a while (source: used to live there)

life is for the wicked4

she's in a back room somewhere chewing through wires

This is my district and it's killing me that it's taking this long

now i just want to note that Australia has used RCV in every seat around the country for more than a century and we get this shit done on election night, does Alaska like need a hand or

Hey we can volunteer to help cure ballots, per Indivisible. I am afraid of the telephone, though.

Me thinks Lauren Boebert is going to have a lot more free time soon to work on her hand and blow jobs skills. She spent most of her adult life on her knees anyway. The amount of ugly right wing neanderthals being swept aside by the blue tsunami on Tuesday is astounding! #inners

@laurachapin.bsky.social

Lauren Boebert is losing in CD4 and trailing due to undervotes - races left blank on a ballot. But Scotty Gessler from Boebert's campaign put out a statement talking about 'investigating some very unusual voting patterns.' Election deniers can't help themselves apparently.

Colorado just elected Eileen Laubacher, retired Rear Admiral. She left (it's assumed bc the writing was on the wall) at the end of 2024 after over 30 years in the Navy. She'll be there too!

Is it official? I hope so... Democrat Eileen Laubacher, a retired two-star Navy rear admiral and former National Security Council official is a better choice.
