After the tests, counties will recount all ballots for the 3rd district race the same way they were counted during the election. Every county will be using the tabulators, according to Griswold\u2019s office, except for San Juan County. Officials there will be manually recounting the ballots.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4855895\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/adam-frisch-1200x800-1.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4855895\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy size-large wp-image-4855895\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/themes\/eet\/images\/white.png\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/adam-frisch-1200x800-1.jpg\" alt=\"Epoch Times Photo\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-4855895\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/adam-frisch-1200x800-1.jpg\" alt=\"Epoch Times Photo\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><\/noscript><\/figcaption><\/a> Democrat congressional candidate Adam Frisch in Pueblo, Colo., on Sept. 28, 2022.

I look forward to getting past election season and focusing on conservative governance in the House majority. Time to get to work!\u201d Boebert said in a Nov. 18 statement.<\/p>\n<p>Frisch said he decided to concede because he did not want to give supporters false hope.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is an automatic recount written into Colorado statue. Colorado elections are rock solid and if historical precedent of recounts in the state holds, it is unlikely to change more than a handful of votes,\u201d he explained in a recent statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis campaign has never been about false hope. We ran knowing we could win. And we came close, so close. So rather than continue with a narrative that the recount could alter the fact that we came up 554 votes short, we are choosing to move forward with honesty &#038; humility,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<h2>Republican Majority<\/h2>\n<p>Republicans came into the midterms as the minority in the House but flipped enough seats to wrest control from Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>Once new members are sworn in shortly after the New Year, the GOP will take over the House.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans currently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/republican-house-majority-climbs-to-220-after-win-in-california_4881997.html\">have secured 220 House seats<\/a> in the next Congress, with two races\u2014including the Colorado race\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/2-house-races-remain-uncalled-republicans-lead-in-both_4884506.html\">uncalled<\/a>. A majority requires 218 or more.<\/p>\n<p>The Republican candidate in the other uncalled race is also ahead.<\/p>\n<p>GOP candidate John Duarte, a farmer and businessman seeking office for the first time, was ahead\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/electionresults.sos.ca.gov\/returns\/us-rep\/district\/13\">by 499 votes<\/a> as of Nov. 30.\u00a0Democrat Adam Gray, 45, a state assemblyman, was vying with Duarte for the seat representing California\u2019s 13th Congressional District.<\/p>\n<p>Some precincts are still counting votes.<\/p>\n<p>Gray has not conceded.<\/p>\n<p>Duarte told the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.modbee.com\/news\/politics-government\/election\/article269327672.html\">Modesto Bee<\/a> that he believes he\u2019ll end up the winner.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am honored to be able to go in and fight for the 13th District,\u201d Duarte said.<\/p>\n<p>A slim majority in the next Congress gives Republicans subpoena power. Democrats will still hold the Senate and White House.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3408256\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/scott-tipton-1200x842-1.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3408256\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy size-large wp-image-3408256\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/themes\/eet\/images\/white.png\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/scott-tipton-1200x842-1.jpg\" alt=\"Epoch Times Photo\" width=\"640\" height=\"449\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-3408256\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/scott-tipton-1200x842-1.jpg\" alt=\"Epoch Times Photo\" width=\"640\" height=\"449\" \/><\/noscript><\/figcaption><\/a> U.S. Reps.

In the general election, Boebert trumped Democrat Diane Mitsch Busch by more than 26,000 votes.<\/p>\n<p>Boebert has opposed legislation that would curb gun rights and is largely aligned on policies with former President Donald Trump, about whom she regularly speaks favorably.<\/p>\n<p>Frisch said he challenged Boebert because he thinks she\u2019s extreme. He campaigned as a moderate.<\/p>\n<p>Frisch barely survived the Democrat primary, winning by 290 votes. Boebert received 64 percent of the vote in the Republican primary.<\/p>\n<h2>New Role<\/h2>\n<p>As the recount was announced, Boebert was elected to serve on the Republican Policy Committee for the next Congress.<\/p>\n<p>The committee advises Republicans in the House on legislative proposals and reports.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am honored to be elected to serve on the Republican Policy Committee. I am committed to delivering on the conservative policies we promised the American people. I have a unique opportunity to be a voice for four states, all of whom share Western Conservative values. Being their advocate is a responsibility that I take seriously. I look forward to working with all the Members of the Republican Policy Committee and our colleagues to deliver real solutions,\u201d Boebert said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCongresswoman Boebert will play an important role in promoting effective policies that benefit all Americans,\u201d\u00a0Rep. Gary Palmer (R-Ala.), chairman of the committee, said. \u201cHer focus on action and desire for results will be valuable assets on our team as we work to provide sound ideas for the Republican Conference to support.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"author_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"one_author_block round\">\n<div class=\"top_row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/author-zachary-stieber\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/WEB_ZacharyStieber-1.jpg\" alt=\"Zachary Stieber\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Follow<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Zachary Stieber is a senior reporter for The Epoch Times based in Maryland.
