The Associated Press has projected that Rep. Lauren Boebert lost her House seat. This result marks another flip to Democratic control in a tight race. Boebert, a Republican from Colorado, ran for a fourth term overall.

She served two terms in the third district. This was her second term in the fourth district. The Associated Press made the call on Friday afternoon.

The race was razor thin with very little separating the candidates. Eileen Laubacher held a slim lead as votes came in. Laubacher had 48.7 percent of the vote.

Boebert received 47.9 percent of the vote. Ninety-nine percent of the ballots had been counted. A third candidate, Douglas Mangeris, ran as a Libertarian.

He captured just over 3 percent of the vote. His presence split the non-Democratic vote slightly. This loss happens during a broader blue wave.

Democrats flipped seats in Republican strongholds across the country. States like Texas and Kansas saw Democratic gains. South Carolina and Mississippi also shifted toward Democrats.

The numbers tell a clear story about power. Democrats now hold a majority of seats in the House of Representatives. Republicans trail by a wide margin.

A party needs 218 seats to control the House. Democrats have surpassed that threshold. This gives them full control of the legislative agenda.

Several races nationwide remain uncalled after nearly two weeks. The final count is still developing in some areas. Boebert was known as a GOP firebrand for years.

Her loss signals a shift in voter sentiment. The margin was less than one percentage point. That is the difference between victory and defeat.

Laubacher maintained her lead even as late votes arrived. The Associated Press tracks these counts carefully. They declared the winner based on available data.

This is a significant change for Colorado politics. The fourth district has shifted hands again. Voters chose a new representative for their area.

The outcome reflects national trends in this midterm cycle. Democrats gained ground in multiple key states. The House majority now rests firmly with them.

This changes how laws will be written next. The minority party has less influence now. Boebert’s political career in Congress ends here.

Laubacher prepares to take her oath of office. The transition of power is underway in Colorado. The final results are being certified by officials.

This story is still developing as data comes in.
