Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) has declared victory over challenger Adam Frisch, who conceded on Nov. 18.

โ€œGreat news tonight. As almost all the votes have finally been tallied, Iโ€™m told that there are less than 200 votes outstanding, which makes me so happy to announce we have won this race,โ€ Boebert, 35, said in a video statement late Thursday.

Boebert is leading Frisch, 55, by just 551 votes, according to unofficial results from the Colorado Secretary of Stateโ€™s Office as of Nov. 18.

Per Colorado law, a recount is automatically triggered if the final margin is less than or equal to 0.5 percent. Additionally, a party may request a recount even if the margin is not that close.

But Boebert and Frisch agree a recount is unlikely to change the current result.

โ€œThe likelihood of this recount changing more than a handful of votes is very small, very, very small,โ€ Frisch said in a video on Friday.

He urged supporters to save their money for groceries and rent, adding that he called Boebert to concede.

โ€œAdam Frisch called me to concede this race. I look forward to getting past election season and focusing on conservative governance in the House majority. Time to get to work!โ€ Boebert said.

The Colorado race is one of the few that remain uncalled.

Alaskaโ€™s at-large Congressional District is one of the others, as the second round of ranked choice voting has not yet taken place. Rep. Mary Peltola (D-Alaska) received the most votes in the first round.

The rest are in California.

State Republican Assemblyman Kevin Kiley is ahead in the race for Californiaโ€™s 3rd Congressional District, Republicanย John Duarte is ahead in the race for the stateโ€™s 13th Congressional District, Rep. David Valadao (R-Calif.) is ahead in the race for Californiaโ€™s 22nd Congressional District.
