And you say that your vote doesn't count? It did here.

Three votes.
That appears to be the margin of victory in Colorado’s closest statehouse race. Republican Rebecca Keltie defeated incumbent Democratic state Rep. Stephanie Vigil by a vote of 20,641 to 20,638 votes to flip the Colorado Springs district, according to the Secretary of State’s office.
This result caps a month of uncertainty since Election Day, as the numbers moved around a bit in the incredibly tight race for House District 16. A preliminary count showed Keltie ahead by six votes. According to a statement from Vigil, when the county conducted a mandatory recount, it awarded six more votes to her, tying the contest. However, the canvass board concluded that three of the new votes for Vigil didn’t count, giving Keltie the slimmest of edges.
That said it's one of the rare times a right-leaner won after a month.
According to folks that have lived in the areas for years Colorado Springs is (or was) the conservative heart of the state.
It says a lot that it was this close.
