... declared the winner by the AP news agency.
Does the US not have an official electoral operator so they have to rely on news agencies to report election results?

MODERATORS
There will be an official certification of the ballots once all of them have been counted, yes.
But the AP makes projections when it is statistically unlikely/impossible for the candidate that is trailing to catch up.
In this race Bimbort is currently trailing by 3525 votes with 99% of the votes counted. Meaning there are only about 3800 votes left to count. So while it is possible that every single remaining vote is for her, it is statistically unlikely.
Well now she'll have more time to pursue women subordinate to her
Sniff, now she'll be giving handjobs in Heaven.
Is there a town in Colorado named Heaven?
It's a strip joint down by the airport.
In case anyone forgot, this was after she changed districts to one that was even deeper red.
Ironically, her old district was the only one in the state that still elected a Republican.
She moved to my district. So glad to have personally helped push her bitch ass out.
Same! Felt good to vote her out!
Shit all two of you are both on Lemmy?! What are the odds
I'm not in that district, but for any sane human being that was...
Thank you for your service, now the world is healing a bit
Is her Only Fans up yet?
Don't fret. She can always work a hand job.
She doesn't just give hand jobs, she gives hand careers.
A hands on job? Like what?
A Z job.
If you have to ask, you can't afford it.
The last time she blew something this hard, it was in the audience of Beetlejuice.
Good. To quote Hilary Clinton quoting someone else, “Bye, Felicia.”
Did Hillary really quote Ice Cube from Friday?
I mean who hasn't?
Doing the old district zig zag didn't help her. I think she might have been okay if she, at the very least, represented her constituents.
Lost her 2nd seat in Congress. She lost a few years ago, then "moved" to a new district to run again
She didn't lose that one. She very narrowly beat a dem challenger in the 2022 election, by something like 87 votes. The next election, after even more scandal, he was going to challenge her seat again. Instead, she ran off to a deeper red district in 2024 and took that seat.
She has now lost that one. I guess Colorado ran out of red she could hide behind.
Hey Jensen, Wait up!
--Bobert probably
She lost it handy-ly...
She ran a gripping race.
Yeah, but she never really had a hand on it....
Got shafted in the end
It wasn't her seat. it was Colorado's. She was not selected to fill it.
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
bye bye Boe-Boe
Oh good, now she has more time to spend on losing the republican presidential primaries.
And bailing out her criminal fam.
Do I have to buy seats to the theater, or can I just bring $20 to the back alley? She's pretty hot. I don't think she's going to starve...
Sex workers are people.
And also left leaning if they discuss politics. At least the ones I know of.
I'm not going to yuck your yum, but it's really just that she has a good stylist. And is famous.
For some reason, some men automatically add two extra points (out of 10) for having big tits, even though they're legitimately a butter-face. (See also: Sweeney, Sydney)
Now no one will care who she’s blowing in a theater.
Me at the theater: yo wtf? Former US rep Lauren Boebert, is that you? I don't want you blowing me here! Beat it! Get out of here, you! Lauren Boebert: screeching and hissing noises as she scurries away
What a username.
In my dreams, you're blowing me... some kisses
