And although Republicans make up nearly 34 percent of registered active voters in the conservative stronghold — while Democrats hold just 15 percent of the electorate — that wasn't the case for Boebert generally accepted in Colorado's 4th

“As a Christian, I don't appreciate it when people say they're Christian to get your vote and then turn out to be an underworlder and now I just think they're an underworlder,” one voter said The Wall Street Journal Earlier this year. While some Republicans said they would hold their noses despite Boebert's “antics” just to avoid voting for the Democrat, but that may not be the case for everyone.
