Rep. Stephanie Vigil, D-Colorado Springs, who lost the House District 16 race to Republican Rep.-elect Rebecca Keltie, says she will not challenge the results.
An automatic recount, ordered after the race ended in a seven-vote lead for Keltie, brought that race to a tie.
But the canvassing board in El Paso County made up of one Democrat, one Republican, and the county clerk, declared that three votes cast for Vigil would not be counted, and Keltie was certified as the winner on Dec. 5.
The Secretary of State’s office accepted those results.
