Laxalt is down to a 9,000 vote cushion, and Nevada is not even close to finishing.  I would call it third world, but in truth, we are a laughingstock.

Was there ever any doubt that NV and AZ wouldn't be stolen?  Time translates into shenanigans...  didn't the GOP at least learn one thing during '20?

That is why mentioned earlier, that GA may not mean beans.

 Senate GOP fears another Trump disaster in Georgia runoff 
by Alexander Bolton - 11/11/22 6:00 AM ET

Senate Republicans are worried that former President Trump may derail their chances of winning the runoff election in Georgia next month if he announces his 2024 presidential campaign in the next few weeks, and again thrusts his unsubstantiated claims of widespread election fraud into the spotlight. 

Trump’s critics in the GOP establishment are blaming him for their disappointing performance in Tuesday’s election, in which Republican candidates lost key races across the country and Republican turnout fell short of expectations. 

Republican strategists worry that if the Dec. 6 Georgia runoff between Sen. Raphael Warnock (D) and GOP candidate Herschel Walker turns into a referendum on Trump, it will likely result in a loss that could cost them control of the Senate.

“Hopefully Trump will stay out of the race as much as he possibly can and if that means holding off announcing his campaign for the White House, that would be smart move not just for Republicans’ chances in Georgia but Trump’s hopes to win the nomination for president,” said one GOP aide, who requested anonymity to discuss concerns about Trump’s impact on the Georgia race. 

“If you talk to Georgia election strategists, they believe Trump was a huge drag on Walker in suburban Atlanta and there’s just no reason to risk repeating that,” the source said. “If Trump injects himself into the race somehow and Walker comes up short, that’s really bad for Trump too.”

Trump will be in the middle of it.  Count on it, as he can't help himself.

Several thousand more republican mail-in ballots found in Nevada…

The ballots were never lost, but media vote counters were not aware they were outstanding until the last few hours.  This is another boost for republicans in Nevada.

Republican-heavy Douglas County has at least 6,000 mail ballots still to be counted which should add at least 2,000 to Laxalt’s lead. And we received word that 626 more mail ballots arrived today, as Nevada allows receipt of ballots that were postmarked on election day. Saturday is the cutoff for mail ballots.

If Republicans were smart, they would announce that a million ballots, all of them marked for the Republican candidate, just showed up at some precinct.  See how the Democrats react.  Would they call for a statewide audit?  Would they file a lawsuit because there were more votes than voters?  Would they have an injunction filed saying the votes shouldn't count because three days have passed since the election day deadline?

I just had a wild thought for 2026 Georgia to unseat Jackoff (Ossoff).

Wonder if there is any way to talk Tom Brady to run for Senator in GA.

I understand he is a conservative, well spoken, and no one can argue that no one has a more drive to win.

Hated him as a football player in NE, but this might be a good play to finally nail down that seat.

[Hoodat]

If we can't get a football native to win a Senate seat, we certainly aren't going to get a win from some outsider pretty boy from California.

Comparing the intellect and electibility of Tom Brady and Herschel Walker isn't really a fair fight or comparison.

Sorry, but Walker's just a dumb jock.  Thanks Donny!!!!!

Terrible trend.  At this time yesterday Laxalt was up 15K, with 84% counted.

GA isn't going to matter if NV and AZ gets stolen.  This Franken shit has to stop.

I'm not sure why you are surprised.  This happens EVERY time.

So true, and not surprised.  Like I said yesterday, can anyone outside FL in 2000 show where a long protracted ballot counting exercise favored the GOP candidate?  Franken Model used to a "T"

Is there a single person from Laxalt's campaign allowed inside these vote-counting centers?

All I can say is "we're watching."  This is a new thing, but should not have been.

Yesterday, Bill Gates said they would count through the weekend.  What changed?

Also, do you know why the 275,000 ballots Maricopa Co. claimed were dropped off on election day has suddenly grown to 292,000 ballots?
