The Democratic Party appears to have lost its supermajority in the Colorado House of Representatives.

The Republican Party appears to have flipped three seats in the general election earlier this month. If that result holds, Democrats will have 43 seats out of 65 in the Colorado House of Representatives, while Republicans will have 22. A party needs 44 seats to have a supermajority in the chamber.

The difference between Democrats having the supermajority and a regular majority in the Colorado House of Representatives may be a mere seven votes. That is because Republican Rebecca Keltie had a seven-vote lead over Democrat Stephanie Vigil in House District 16 when El Paso County posted its final unofficial election results late last week.

The race will head to an automatic recount, as is the case in all Colorado elections decided by half a percentage point or less. If the result holds, it's a flip for the Republican Party; Vigil won the seat in 2022 after running and losing in 2020.

Keltie feels confident that, even with the recount, she will win the race.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Wow! In another thread I stated Colorado voters had not and would not learn anything from the results of their voting patterns. I might be wrong. This would be amazing if it holds true. The pendulum is swinging the other way. The main problem of keeping the momentum going is democrat's ballot fraud.

However, in regards to Keltie's race, if they can find or manufacture a couple thousand votes to steal a seat, they can certainly create seven. Her team better keep a close eye on the recount.
