Colorado 2026 Midterm Election Results

The 2026 Colorado midterm election results are in with the exception of one race that still remains to be called. As of Monday, November 9, the race between challenger Eileen Laubacher and incumbent Lauren Boebert, who are competing to be Colorado’s Representative to Congress still has yet to be called by the AP, though with 98% of the votes in and Laubacher leading by almost a percentage point, it is nearly impossible for Boebert to make up enough votes to win. On Monday afternoon, Laubacher declared victory and attended congressional orientation, joining incoming lawmakers in Washington, DC. The number of votes in this race is currently outside the state’s 0.5% margin of victory to qualify for a mandatory recount, and though Boebert could request one, she would be responsible for the costs involved with the recount should she fail.

Statewide, nearly all major races were won by Democrats. Two exceptions with regards to representation for Prowers County residents were Ty Winter, who secured his third term in the Colorado House by a majority of 63% (22,210 votes) compared to his opponent Vic Meyers, who received 13,134 votes) and Rod Pelton, who secured his second term as State Senator with 92.8% (56,474 votes), beating his Libertarian and Unaffiliated challengers by a wide margin. Voters in Prowers County gave Winter 2,783 votes to Meyers’s 1,070. They gave Pelton 2,779 votes to only 40 for challenger Richard Graf who received only 40 votes.
