Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) came in fifth place in a straw poll of voters in the district where the controversial congresswoman recently relocated and is trying to win reelection to the House.

Boebert, who was first elected to represent Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District in 2020, announced last month she would switch districts and instead run for reelection this year in the 4th District, after its House member, Rep. Ken Buck ®, decided to retire from Congress.

The new district for Boebert would likely give her a significantly better chance at reelection if she wins the Republican nomination. She currently represents a swing district, and Boebert had seemed likely before her switch to face off a second time against Democrat Adam Frisch, whom she defeated in 2022 by fewer than 600 votes.

The 4th District, meanwhile, is a solidly Republican district that has elected a Democratic House member only once in the past 50 years.

But the results of the straw poll Thursday, which followed the first debate among GOP candidates running for that district, indicates Boebert may have an uphill battle.

    What if I did middle out?

    My favorite part was they’re still discussing it and say Richard’s been in there for hours, meaning they’ve been occupied for hours optimizing. 😂

        Yeah, they’re so easily distractible during any scene that they’re doing work (unless adderal is in the mix). Then they go off on these weird tangents for far too long. One of my favorite themes in the show.

      What do I recognize this picture from? Whatever it is I want to rewatch because I remember it being funny but can’t place it.
