U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert took the lead for the first time in ballot tabulating Thursday over her Democratic challenger, Adam Frisch, but it still could take a week before the final tally is known, and whether a recount is warranted.

As of 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Boebert led Frisch by 1,136 votes.

Voters in the 28 counties in the 3rd Congressional District have until Wednesday to “cure” their ballots, which usually is because of a failure to sign their ballot envelops or, for those required to do so, to provide identification.

Unsigned ballot envelops aren’t opened until those identification issues are resolved, and voters casting a mail ballot for the first time are required to include an acceptable form of identification, such as a photocopy of a driver’s license or other picture ID, according to the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office.
