Two days after polls closed, the campaigns for Yadira Caraveo and Gabe Evans were waiting Thursday to see if new ballot totals posted by election officials would sway the race in a more definitive direction.

The 8th Congressional District sweeps across Denver's northern suburbs and covers rural sections of Adams and Weld counties as well, along with a small slice of Larimer County.

State Rep. Gabe Evans’ lead over U.S. Rep. Yadira Caraveo shrank between Friday evening and Saturday afternoon, from 2,529 votes to 1,995.

Evans won 48.98% of the final count with 162,022 votes compared to Caraveo’s 159,426 votes, or 48.19% of the final count, according to the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office.

As U.S. Rep. Yadira Caraveo emphasizes abortion rights in her reelection race in Colorado's battleground 8th Congressional District, she's moved the right on immigration -- angering some allies -- while facing fierce attacks from supporters of Republican challenger Gabe Evans.

The Associated Press has declared a winner in Colorado's 8th Congressional District which has been one of the most closely watched races in the country.
