Lauren Boebert Refused To Accept Her Election Loss In A Painfully Awkward Video, And 1 Tiny Detail Is Making It Even Worse

A MAGA Republican’s hopes about her election results may have just gone up in vape smoke.
On Monday, Rep. Lauren Boebert published a pretty desperate video to her X account in which she reminded voters that she hasn’t lost her respective election yet because ballots are still being counted.
This is despite CNN projecting on Monday that Boebert would lose her reelection bid in Colorado’s 4th Congressional District to Democrat Eileen Laubacher.
Laubacher even claimed victory Monday, prompting Boebert to email her supporters and write that “this race is NOT over,” according to The Denver Gazette.
In Boebert’s video, she suggested that “CNN and the Democrats want to call my race and prematurely declare victory.”
“So just a quick reminder that counties still have until Nov. 13 under Colorado law to finish counting and curing every eligible ballot,” Boebert said. “There are thousands that still need curing, plus military and overseas votes. Declaring victory now is like icing a cake before it comes out of the oven.”
Yet, the worst part of Boebert’s video isn’t anything that she said. Rather it’s a very embarrassing community note — or a crowd-sourced fact-checking and context-adding feature on the platform — posted right below the video. It reads: “Boebert trails Democrat Eileen Laubacher by over 3,200 votes in CO-04 with ~98% of ballots counted.”
The note adds, “The margin exceeds the automatic recount threshold and remaining votes are insufficient to close the gap.” It then links three sources by The Denver Post, election simulator and archive Poliwave, and CNN’s projection Monday.

Critics of the Trump administration also had some fun giving Boebert a pretty harsh reality check — with some cracking jokes about how she got kicked out of a “Beetlejuice” production in 2023 and was caught on camera vaping and groping her date in the theater.
Boebert’s election denial, however, shouldn’t come as too much of a shock. She proudly backed President Donald Trump’s lie that the 2020 election was stolen from him, and hinted at election fraud just days after the midterm elections.
