Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert's decision to switch from Colorado's 3rd Congressional district to the more conservative 4th district could have significant political repercussions. While it may help the GOP by potentially allowing a less controversial Republican to win the 3rd district, it also risks a Democratic flip there, especially with Democrat Adam Frisch's strong showing in the previous election.
