giving the race a rating of "Solid R" up to election day, the race would prove to become the closest race of the cycle. Nate Silver of FiveThirtyEight gave Boebert a 97% chance of winning and most projections showed Boebert defeating Frisch by a margin of nearly 15%. However, on election night, Frisch led Boebert with over 90% of votes counted. Over time the vote would narrow, with at one point Frisch leading by only 60 votes. Boebert took the lead two days after the election, though confusion would start to grow as to how many outstanding votes would be left due to military absentee ballots among other errors with vote counting. Although the close margin triggered an automatic recount, Frisch conceded the race on November 17 after all overseas, military and provisional ballots were counted, as he acknowledged that a recount was very unlikely to overturn Boebert's lead.
