David B. Wheeler
Role at the time: President of American Muckrakers PAC, writing in the PAC's Substack update on the count
Response to this claim
The Boebert campaign is investigating 'some very unusual voting patterns' in the 4th District count, ballot returns since election night have been trending in Boebert's direction, and the campaign expects the race to go to a recount.
“The statement named no county, cited no data, and described no specific irregularity.”
An update on the American Muckrakers PAC Substack reports the 4th District count as of midday November 6, quotes Gessler's statement, says it named no county, cited no data and described no specific irregularity, and projects the final margin from the ballots left to count.
Why we used 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.
