UPDATE (7:28): Here’s Taylor Rhodes of Rocky Mountain Gun Owners with both the saddest and most hilarious take of the evening:

First off, Rhodes and RMGO had NOTHING to do with the outcome of these races. Like, zero.

UPDATE (7:25 pm): Congresswoman Lauren Boebert will retain her title, as expected. National outlets are rightfully calling the race for Boebert.

UPDATE (7:11 pm):

Denver is the first county to report a substantial number of votes:

Incumbent Democratic Rep. Elisabeth Epps looks like she’ll be the first notable name to fall. Epps trails 65-35 with 10,682 votes returned. She still has time to recover — there were more than 17,000 total votes cast in the 2022 Democratic Primary in HD-6 — but she’ll have to carry the majority of the rest of the ballots to have a shot.
