No the Democrats Did Not Steal Arizona From McSally

No election is without problems, but there is rarely sufficient problems to throw an election. The people who are looking at AZ and see fraud because Governor Ducey won and Representative McSally lost are missing the forest for the shadows of trees.

Ducey had years to establish himself as his own person with his own record of governance as Governor of a State. McSally, though not a Trump supporter, couldn't get out from his shadow in this race. Likewise, Ducey was running against a person who ran a rather incompetent campaign and McSally was running against a wave of Democrat money and ambition. Candidates matter.

Ducey was not campaigning on going to Washington to stand for or against Trump's agenda. That's what the Senate race was about. It should make Republicans nervous that so many people were willing to vote for Ducey who weren't willing to vote for McSally.

Republicans waving their hands claiming fraud need to come back to reality and pay attention. 2020 is very winnable. But it will require some strategic rethinking to get the suburbs back.

Is this the same type of thinking that has you backing loser after loser while you sit in the back bleachers criticizing a game you are too stupid to play Erik? Thought so.

BTW I notice at no time does he address the small matter of these large blocks of votes coming in to Noxzema over night days after the election. This pompous jackass berates everyone for looking at the fraud when he is incapable of explaining it as something else.

Neither is the GOP Governor or the GOP Sec of State in AZ.  In fact your post is the first I've heard about it.  Are you sure you didn't make it up?

There is no real Republican Party in AZ. McLame, Flaky and Douche can barely be considered GOP. McLames Chief of Staff and their ex AG just came out this year claiming he switched parties to Rat because he says Trump is very damaging to the discourse in the country AND the Rats have an agenda more in line with America. No mention of the language used by Maxine, Obama or Holder. I have no doubt that the fake GOPers in that state would love to adopt Single Payer, Universal Wage and high taxes. McLame liked Obamacare.

IKR.  What does the GOP have to appeal to a border state?

And you don't think that wave of money and ambition might lead to fraud? When it's happened countless times before? And a party is desperate to reverse the losses they sustained in the Senate to give the illusion of a "blue wave?"

If there was no appeal, why does the GOP win every statewide election in Texas for decades?

That's not going to last long. Just look at how blue the districts on the border, Houston and Dallas are getting. Mexicans on the border and Cali transplants in the cities. Over 50% of the 5 million people that left Cali over the last 10 years moved to TX.

Up until the 2018 election, with the rising Hispanic population, we had a rising GOP percentage in US House, Texas House and Texas Senate over the last couple decades.

We get more immigrant workers than immigrant welfare queens.  Having a pro-business state government helps that.
