CNN Projects: Beetlejuice Musical Enjoyer Boebert Loses Reelection

CNN is projecting that Rep. Lauren Boebert will lose her bid for reelection.

This means that Democrat Eileen Laubacher will flip another GOP seat in Congress making it 255 dems in the House.

Laubacher has also claimed victory in the race that she is currently ahead by about 3000 votes with 98% of the vote in. AP has not called the race at the time of publishing this article.

According to an interview with Colorado Public Radio, Congresswoman Boebert has not reached out to Laubacher to concede.

In 2023 Boebert switched Congressional districts from 3rd to 4th to not have to compete with a Democrat that had raised large amounts of cash. This all happened about the same time that her handsy-ness and vaping got her kicked out of a performance of the musical of Beetlejuice in Denver.

Boeberts time in Congress will be remembered mainly for her heckling President Biden at the State of the Union and refusing to go through metal detectors while carrying a firearm.

Laubacher, has already made her way to Washington DC to begin onboarding and training. Her campaign had been one more of issues than Boebert's. The Democrat visited rural hospitals and held 100 town halls.

Ratf**ked: Why Your Vote Doesn't Count

Lauded as a "compelling" (The New Yorker) and "eye-opening tour of a process that many Americans never see" (Washington Post), David Daley's Ratf**ked documents the effort of Republican legislators and political operatives to hack American democracy through an audacious redistricting plan called REDMAP. Since the revolutionary election of Barack Obama, a group of GOP strategists has devised a way to flood state races with a gold rush of dark money, made possible by Citizens United, in order to completely reshape Congress--and our democracy itself. "Sobering and convincing" (New York Review of Books), Ratf**ked shows how this program has radically altered America's electoral map and created a firewall in the House, insulating the Republican party and its wealthy donors from popular democracy. While exhausted voters recover from a grueling presidential election, a new Afterword from the author explores the latest intense efforts by both parties, who are already preparing for the next redistricting cycle in 2020.
