Additionally, a party may request a recount even if the margin is not that close.<\/p>\n<p>Boebert, who is seeking a second term in Congress, declared victory late Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGreat news tonight. As almost all the votes have finally been tallied, I\u2019m told that there are less than 200 votes outstanding, which makes me so happy to announce we have won this race,\u201d she said in a video statement.<\/p>\n<p>Boebert told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/boebert-launches-fundraising-for-recount-in-congressional-race\">the Washington Examiner<\/a> that she will send a legal team to monitor the recount, which she said will happen, but noted that recounts typically don\u2019t change the final tally by much.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis certainly isn\u2019t going to be anything that changes the outcome of this race,\u201d she said, adding that \u201conce every legal vote is counted, I will have won this race.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Frisch in a statement Thursday thanked volunteers who have been working on getting ballots \u201ccured,\u201d or helping fix issues with ballots, enabling the votes to count even though the election took place on Nov. 8. Colorado law requires election officials to alert a voter if their ballot had a problem and gives the voter time to fix it. The deadline was the end of the day Nov. 16.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe outpouring of support from around the country and even the world since Election Day has been overwhelming &#038; humbling. Running in this race, getting to know so many people in my district &#038; hearing your stories has been an honor of a lifetime,\u201d Frisch said on Twitter. \u201cStay tuned.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Colorado race is one of the few that remain uncalled.<\/p>\n<p>Alaska\u2019s at-large Congressional District is one of the others, as the second round of ranked choice voting has not yet taken place. Rep. Mary Peltola (D-Alaska) received the most votes in the first round.<\/p>\n<p>The rest are in California.<\/p>\n<p>State Republican Assemblyman Kevin Kiley is ahead in the race for California\u2019s 3rd Congressional District, Republican\u00a0John Duarte is ahead in the race for the state\u2019s 13th Congressional District, Rep. David Valadao (R-Calif.) is ahead in the race for California\u2019s 22nd Congressional District.<\/p>\n<p>One uncalled seat is sure to remain in Democrat hands, due to the state\u2019s top-two primary system. Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D-Calif.) is ahead of Democrat David Kim in the race for California\u2019s 34th Congressional District.<\/p>\n<p>As of Friday, Republicans have secured 218 seats in the next Congress. Democrats have secured 212, including the one for California\u2019s 34th district.
