Boebert campaign says it is investigating 'very unusual voting patterns' as Laubacher leads Colorado's 4th District count
In a November 5 statement, Rep. Lauren Boebert's campaign attorney, Scott Gessler, said the campaign is investigating 'some very unusual voting patterns' and expects the 4th District race to go to a recount, as Democrat Eileen Laubacher leads the count. The statement does not say what the patterns are.

Why this label?
The reference point is the Boebert campaign's claim, in a November 5 statement from its attorney Scott Gessler, that it is investigating 'some very unusual voting patterns' in the 4th District count and expects a recount. Wheeler says the statement offers no county, data or irregularity to support the claim of unusual voting patterns, which challenges how the campaign describes the count.
