Lauren Boebert: There are thousands of ballots still needing curing, in addition to military and overseas votes. Our verdict: True.
Lauren Boebert made the statement on or around 10 November 2026, as quoted by Breitbart and reported by the Denver Post, while her Colorado House race remained uncalled.
Our verdict
True
The claim is accurate. As of 10 November 2026, election officials said a few thousand ballots in Colorado's 4th Congressional District were still pending curing, and remaining military and overseas ballots had not yet been counted.
What we found
We rated this claim true. The Durango Herald reported on 10 November 2026 that election officials said a few thousand ballots in the 4th District were still pending curing, which meets the claim's "thousands" threshold. The same report said remaining overseas and military ballots were scheduled to be counted on Friday, 13 November, so they had not been counted as of 10 November. The Breitbart article directly quotes Boebert making the statement, and the Denver Post reported that she said in a video that votes remained to be counted or cured of signature discrepancies.
