Lauren Boebert did not secure Colorado's fourth congressional district race to Democrat Eileen Laubacher. CNN projected that Boebert had been defeated. The Denver Post reported that Laubacher declared victory.
Boebert had sought to maintain her seat in Congress. Earlier reports said the contest remained too close to call and had not been called. Vote counting continued in the district on Nov 9 2026. NBC News, 9NEWS, Colorado Public Radio and The Colorado Sun reported on the delayed count. Local election officials processed ballots as the result stayed unresolved.
