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.
“Eileen Laubacher leads by 3,000+ votes, but Boebert hired a Trump lawyer and is alleging "unusual voting patterns" with NO evidence.”
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. Cooper rejects the claim as made with no evidence and calls for Boebert's defeat, which condemns it.
