Judge blocks Arizona county from hand-counting ballots

McGinley said the Cochise County Board of Supervisors overstepped its authority by ordering the hand count of all ballots cast in the midterm election rather than the sample allowed by state law.

The Arizona Alliance for Retired Americans filed the lawsuit to stop the hand count. It argued state law only allows a small number of ballots to be counted by hand to ensure voting machine accuracy and that a hand count could cause a delay in certifying the election results, the Associated Press reported.

Wisconsin judge won’t order sequestering of absentee military ballots

A Wisconsin judge on Monday, less than 14 hours before polls opened, refused to order that military absentee ballots be pulled aside and sequestered until it can be verified that they were cast legally, saying that would be a “drastic remedy” that could disenfranchise voters...

...Waukesha County Circuit Judge Michael Maxwell denied that request for a temporary restraining order in a ruling from the bench following a two-hour hearing Monday afternoon.

Turnout is very heavy, very early in Maricopa. This is a real serious problem. No voter should ever have to leave their ballot in a box in the corner of the room and expect it to be handled properly at some point later.

It's a chain of custody nightmare and easily exploitable.

Mercer (county NJ) has countywide vote tabulator glitch, but voting by machine continues

Voting machines throughout Mercer County are facing technical difficulties this morning, but no voters are being turned away and machine votes are still being cast.

The issue involves a programming glitch with optical scanners, which count votes after ballots are filled out.

Programmers from the voting machine manufacturer, Dominion, are in site trying to work through the problem, the New Jersey Globe has confirmed.

“There is a slot on the top of the scanner and voters can vote and are voting manually,” said Mercer County Clerk Paula Sollami Covello.  “We are asking poll workers to use the official ballots because they can still vote them manually, and place them in the slot in the scanning machines and we will count them manually.”

Florida Department of State Rejects Federal “Election Monitors” – Puts Biden’s DOJ On Notice

The Florida Department of State warns Biden’s DOJ that if any federal “election monitors” are sent into polling places, State resources will be dispatched “to ensure that no interference with the voting process occurs.”

After the Department of Justice announced that they will send “election monitors” to Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties, the DeSantis administration has issued a strongly-worded response.

On Monday, Brad McVay, General Counsel with the Florida Department of State, wrote a letter to the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division:

“Earlier today, the Florida Department of State received copies of your letters to Miami-Dade and Broward Counties in which you seem to indicate that the Department of Justice will send monitors inside polling places in these counties. We also understand you sent a similar letter to Palm Beach County,” McVay wrote.

He then stated that federal election monitors are not permitted under Florida law:

“Section 102.031(3)(a) of the Florida Statutes lists the people who ‘may enter any polling room or polling place.’ Department of Justice personnel are not included on the list.”

A 'Last Minute Change' Is Already Delaying Vote Counting in Philadelphia
Katie Pavlich

 |  November 08, 2022 10:00 AM

Within hours of polls opening in Pennsylvania Tuesday morning, a "last minute change" is already causing vote count delays in notoriously corrupt Philadelphia. Before the change this morning, votes in the city were expected to be fully counted by Wednesday morning.

Quote
From the Philadelphia Inquirer:

    City officials voted Tuesday morning — as polling places opened and the vote count began for the midterm elections — to reinstate a time consuming and labor-intensive process for catching double votes that will slow how quickly they can report results.

    If Pennsylvania’s high-stakes U.S. Senate race is as close as expected, a wait for results out of the state’s largest city is sure to shine a national spotlight on Philadelphia, similar to after the 2020 presidential election.

    The city commissioners, the three-member elections board, voted 2-1 to reinstate what is known as poll book reconciliation — a means of flagging mail ballots submitted by voters who also voted in person — during an emergency 7 a.m. meeting.

    It was a sudden reversal of a decision they made less than a week ago and came a day after a city judge, responding to a Republican lawsuit, said they could move forward without the process.

Just voted in Fulton Co, GA.  There was an entire army of poll workers there to assist with voting.  No line, but traffic was steady.

When it came to ID, I showed them my federally issued TWIC card instead of my GA driver's license.  They said they couldn't find my registration records.  I had to get on the phone with someone in downtown Atlanta.  They asked for my DL number which I gave them.  And voila!  They found my registration.

While this was going on, I had whipped out my phone and pulled up my personal voter registration page.  I then showed it to another poll worker who typed in my name.  It came right up.  Clearly the first poll worker had misspelled my name even after being asked three times to confirm they had spelled it correctly.

Anyhoo, I voted Libertarian in three races, GOP in the rest.  Did my research on the City Council race.  Voted in favor of every tax cut.  Voted against every bond referendum.

Prediction:  Herschel wins without a runoff.

DeSantis Pushes Back Against Biden DOJ Monitors Interfering in Florida's Election

ABC reports Republicans should expect their leads to "crumble completely" in a "red mirage" as mail-in ballot dumps are counted

Joel Abbott  ·  Nov 8, 2022


This is totally fine and normal, good citizen. 2+2=5.

https://twitter.com/ABC/status/1589635310169866242

The title of this story is this:

Early election night results might not indicate final tallies (and why that's OK)
And super-totally-non-partisan ABC says we'll see a "red mirage" instead of a red wave.


Mhmm.

As early Election Day results come in on Tuesday, it will likely appear that a Republican candidates vying for any number of the federal or statewide races appear to be leading their Democratic opponents, even by large margins.

Their leads will dwindle, or crumble completely, after perceived "dumps" of votes are recorded by state election officials who count mail-in and absentee ballots in the days -- or even weeks -- following Election Day.

Even weeks, dear comrade! It could take weeks for election officials to count the ballots!

Fulton County fires 2 poll workers after concerns over social media posts

November 08, 2022 at 11:44 am EST


JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Fulton County election officials fired a poll worker and her son after they expressed concerns with social media posts.

The two workers were fired about 15 minutes before the polls opened at the Ocee Library. Fulton County Elections confirmed the workers are a mother and son.

The county’s elections interim director Nadine Williams said another worker overheard a comment made by the woman at a poll worker event. The peer also found social media posts made by the worker and reported them to the county.

“We sent that information to Secretary of State’s Office to ask if it should be under investigation for concern,” Williams said. “They also looked at the social media posts and said they agreed with the concern and that it’s our decision to remove.”

The county removed the workers until they can complete the investigation.

Williams said she could not comment on the nature of the posts, but the county “wanted to make sure the election was secure.”

“There were some things in there that were not allowed. You cannot take videos or photos in the election, so that’s what brought it to our attention,” Williams said.

A spokeswoman confirmed that officers responded to the library after two poll workers refused to leave. When officers arrived, the two people left without any incidents. Police said there was no arrests or incident reports filed.

Fetterman Claims Democrats Will Stage Late Night ‘Comeback’ After Early Tallies Lean Republican
by Cullen McCue
November 8, 2022

Last Updated on November 8, 2022
Pennsylvania’s Democrat nominee for U.S. Senate, John Fetterman, claimed that Democrats will stage a “comeback” after election day totals favor Republicans. The senate hopeful pointed to mail-in and absentee ballots, which cannot be counted until election day under Pennsylvania law. Still, many have questioned the validity of lengthy delays in counting votes, pointing to other states and foreign nations that count more votes in a shorter window of time.

“Counting for ballots cast by mail and early in-person cannot begin until Election Day, thanks to the GOP-controlled legislature — an intentional move to help Republicans baselessly sow doubt about the election results when it suits them,” Fetterman wrote in a memo to “interested parties,” The Washington Post reported.

“Pennsylvania is one of only eight states that bans pre-processing of early mail-in ballots, forcing county officials to wait until 7 a.m. on Tuesday to begin opening returned ballots and scanning them into the system,” he added.

Fetterman pointed to the more than 1.4 million mail-in ballots requested in Pennsylvania, which tend to skew towards Democrats. This is especially true in the Keystone State, as Spotlight PA recently reported that more than 70% of mail-in ballots requested came from registered Democrats.

“The biggest share of absentee and mail ballot requests came from Allegheny County [which includes Pittsburgh] and Philadelphia — nearly a quarter of the total,” Spotlight PA wrote.

In Pennsylvania, mail-in and absentee votes cannot be counted until polls open on election day. “Because Pennsylvania is one of the only states that reports Election Day totals first before ballots cast by mail, and because more populated counties around Philadelphia can take longer to report, we should expect one of the most dramatic shifts in the country from initial GOP support in early results to stronger Democratic gains as more votes are processed,” Fetterman said.

Michigan Activists Witness Suspicious Late Night Activity at Innocuous Warehouse at 3 AM Near Detroit Election Center

...Our sources have witnessed suspicious activities in Detroit for several days now.

Over the weekend, concerned citizens, driving in two cars, followed a Penske rental truck from the Detroit Department of Elections to a non-descript, one-story warehouse in southwest Detroit.

The truck ran at least one red light, possibly related to an attempt to shake the followers. Once there, the citizens initiated a round-the-clock vigil that, at press time, is still ongoing in a bid to observe any illegal activity such as illegally-manufactured ballots being injected into the flow of legitimate ballots.

Once the truck arrived in the parking lot, the citizen vehicles parked and began observing very peculiar activities: in the space of a few hours, 12-15 cars arrived at the gate of the warehouse, slowed as if about to turn in, only to turn around or drive on once the surveillance cars were spotted.

There is a printing company located directly across the street from the warehouse and it is known to have ballots – printing capabilities, including for the 2020 election.

BREAKING: Fetterman campaign just hired lawyer Marc Elias

Marc Elias was an attorney with the Hilary Clinton campaign, and has been brought in by the Fetterman camp to try to get invalid ballots counted, despite these ballots not being in compliance with state law.


Hannah Nightingale
Washington DC
Nov 8, 2022 3 minute read

Following a lawsuit filed by the John Fetterman campaign on Monday regarding the counting of undated ballots, it has been revealed that the campaign has enlisted the help of the Elias Law Group to carry out the lawsuit. Founder Marc Elias was an attorney with the Hilary Clinton campaign.

On November 1, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania ruled that mail-in ballots sent in without the required date on the outer envelope must not be counted, following a lawsuit from the Republican National Committee (RNC). The Fetterman campaign brought suit to have those ballots counted, despite that being in violation of Pennsylvania state law.

The lawsuit, filed against county board of elections across the state of Pennsylvania by the campaign, along with the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, and two voters alleges that failing to count votes that had undated or misdated outer envelopes violates state and federal law.

The Fetterman campaign’s lawsuit alleged that "The Date Instruction has no relevance to determining whether an individual is qualified to vote under Pennsylvania law."

"To the extent any date is relevant to a voter’s qualifications to participate in a particular election under Pennsylvania law, it is the date of that election, not the date that the voter completed, signed, or mailed their ballot," the lawsuit adds.

The lawsuit claims that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s running violates the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as well as the First and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution.

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court did no such thing.  It is the petition of Elias that would violate the Civil Rights Act and the 14th Amendment.  Fighting against Equal Protection is what Democrats do best.

Philly will not count 30,000 paper ballots tonight, due to Karl Rove lawsuit…

Posted by Kane on November 8, 2022 1:03 pm

(https://citizenfreepress.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/philly-fet.jpg)

he Philadelphia agency that oversees elections said it will delay counting thousands of paper ballots after the polls close Tuesday night because of a lawsuit that accused it of being open to double counting.

The Philadelphia City Commissioners voted 2-1 at a special early morning meeting to reinstate a process called “poll book reconciliation,” which is designed to eliminate the duplication of in-person votes and those already cast as mail-in or absentee ballots.

The decision will delay in the vote count in one of the nation’s most hotly contested battleground states.

The ruling stemmed from a lawsuit filed on Oct. 27 by a conservative legal advocacy group, Restoring Integrity and Trust in Elections, that was created in July by prominent Republicans, including former attorney general William P. Barr and Karl Rove.

The suit challenged the election board’s decision to forego the reconciliation process, which the commissioners had said was no longer needed because other measures to detect duplicate ballots were in place. Officials said the reconciliation had not found any duplicate votes in the last three elections.

But the lawsuit argued that the process had caught 40 double votes in the 2020 presidential election, and that the increase in mail balloting in recent years made it more necessary, not less.

Election Day 2022: Vote counting machines down in N.J. county, but you can still cast ballots






Quote

Election Day is off to a rough start in Mercer County as officials announced that all voting machines were not working “due to a printing and scanning issue with the ballots,” according to local officials.

Mercer County Clerk Paula Sollami Covello said all votes will be correctly counted despite a “glitch with the Dominion scanners.”

In a midday update, the clerk said a contingency plan is in place for all ballots to be scanned at the Board of Elections office in Trenton, which she called “secure.”

Detroit mail-in vote count moved away from room with windows, officials say they 'learned a lot from 2020'
Detroit officials say they have 'learned a lot from 2020' and have implemented changes tallying procedures

By Caitlin McFall | Fox News

Detroit election officials have made changes to ensure the midterm election Tuesday goes much smoother than the chaotic 2020 general election, including moving the mail-in vote tally away from outside windows.

Detroit made national headlines in 2020 after images and videos surfaced of pro-Trump supporters crowding outside the ballot tally room in the Huntington Place Convention Center — formally called the TCF Center – and shouting "stop the count."

Democratic voters converged on the scene and election challengers demanded they be allowed to enter the room and observe the counting process.

‘Democrats Have A Turnout Problem Today’: Leading Elections Expert Live-Reports Dems In Trouble
By  Hank Berrien

Nov 8, 2022   DailyWire.com

Roughly halfway through Election Day on the East Coast, a leading political prognosticator, looking at early precinct voting patterns, concluded that the Democrats were in serious trouble.

Dave Wasserman runs the non-partisan Cook Political Report, and he was watching the data from states on the East Coast and extrapolating from what he had seen by roughly 1 p.m. EST.

“It’s pretty apparent from precinct-level data in VA and county-level data in FL that Democrats have a turnout problem today – one that’s unlikely to be solved in the next six hours,” Wasserman concluded.

https://twitter.com/Redistrict/status/1590042484041986050

more
Then he got down to brass tacks, examining turnout in swing states such as Virginia and Florida: “Noon turnout reports in VA Beach -—a majority of Rep. Elaine Luria’s (D) Toss Up #VA02 — show most heavily GOP precincts up to 55-60% of ’21 votes cast, vs. 40-45% in most non-white precincts.  Total ballots cast skewing much more R than ’20 in many FL counties, esp. Miami-Dade.”

Could This Be the First Race Called Tonight?

One of the earliest races called in 2006 was Pennsylvania’s U.S. Senate election. Then-incumbent Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) was running for a third term and lost by nearly 20 points. Santorum suffered the worst loss for an incumbent senator since the 1980s. Could we have a similar situation this year, but in reverse, with a Republican dominating in such a manner? It might happen in the Sunshine State, where Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis seems poised to wipe the floor with Democratic challenger Rep. Charlie Crist, who is vying to get his old job back.

I hope so. There will be places that are still voting and I hope big wins in FL will influence that.

Official: Problems with Vote Tabulation Machines at 20% of Maricopa County, Arizona, Voting Locations

Nick Gilbertson 8 Nov 2022

Update: Maricopa County refuted Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk’s claim that there were two-hour waits at most Maricopa County polling places. In a tweet, the county stated that the “vast majority of Vote Centers are seeing wait times under 30 minutes.” Additionally, the county’s Election Department announced that voters who checked into a polling station but wish to cast a ballot in another polling site “must first check out with a poll worker at the SiteBook to return the issued ballot.” It added, “After checking out, the voter will be able to vote at any of our locations. Find them at http://Locations.Maricopa.Vote”.

Some 20 percent of polling locations in Maricopa County, Arizona, are having issues with vote tabulation machines, according to an official.

“In about 20 percent of vote centers… when people will go, and they try and run the ballot through this tabulator, maybe one out of every five or so of those ballots they’re not going through,” Bill Gates, the chairman of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, said on Tuesday morning.

https://twitter.com/charliekirk11/status/1590031108259082241

Democrat gubernatorial candidate Katie Hobbs is in change of Arizona’s elections as Secretary of State.

Turning Point USA’s Tyler Bowyer tweeted a video from a polling location in Anthem, Arizona, early this morning, where one poll worker said a tabulation machine was “taking about 75 percent” of ballots successfully, and another tabulator was completely down.

The Maricopa Fiasco

MICHAEL BRENDAN DOUGHERTY  |  November 8, 2022  |  3:49 PM


I suppose I should have been expecting this. Arizona — particularly the Arizona Republican Party — has spent a tremendous amount of time dividing itself over claims of electoral wrongdoing since 2020.

So, of course, it had to happen. It had to happen that the Democratic candidate for governor is the Secretary of State and nominally in charge of running a smooth election, while the Republican candidate is an “election denier.” And it had to happen in Maricopa County — one of the most important for Republicans in the state. Long lines. Tabulation machines malfunctioning — and confusion about what to do if you’ve checked in to vote but haven’t been able to cast a ballot yet.

Small armies of Republican lawyers are ready to pounce and willing to follow up on the chain-of-custody issues for those paper ballots. But we better hope it’s not close in Arizona.

https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/the-maricopa-fiasco/



The author here doesn't even address the issue, but blows it off as some kind of Murphy's Law thing.  How about admitting that the Republicans were right all along, and it's not an 'election denier' thing at all, but an 'election fraud denier' one.

excerpt:
The machine malfunctions fueled distrust among many Republican voters in Arizona that fraud was involved, especially after Trump issued a statement on his Truth Social platform.

"Reports are coming in from Arizona that the Voting Machines are not properly working in predominately Republican/Conservative areas," Trump said, adding: "Here we go again? The people will not stand for it!!"

Barbara Russell, 70, a volunteer Republican poll observer at a voting location in Wickenburg, a town in rural Maricopa County, told Reuters that both tabulation machines there had been malfunctioning and rejecting ballots.

"This is the total disenfranchisement of rural voters," Russell told Reuters.

Paul Penzone, the Maricopa County Sheriff, said additional deputies had been deployed to polling locations. Barricades were erected around the county's elections office in central Phoenix in anticipation of potential protests.

Judge blocks Arizona county from hand-counting ballots

Madeleine Hubbard  |  Updated: November 8, 2022 - 11:26am


An Arizona judge has stopped a rural country's plan to hand-counting midterm ballots, following a request from Republicans for the process over concerns about the trustworthiness of the voting machines.

Pima County Superior Court Judge Casey McGinley's ruled Monday the county board of supervisors went beyond its authority by directing the county recorder to count all ballots cast instead of a small sample as required by state law, the Associated Press reports.

The judge in a case, brought by the progressive group Arizona Alliance for Retired Americans, which sued to stop the proposed count, said the law allows for only for a small hand-count of early ballots to ensure voting machine accuracy. The group also said the change could create chaos and possibly delay election results.

The ruling is unlikely to be appealed because Election Day is Tuesday.

While the case challenged only about 30,000 early ballots, the judge went further and blocked hand counts of both early and Election Day votes.

Why is it that Democrats can always find a judge who gives them even more than they ask for, while Republicans can't even find a court room.

I believe in this state. I believe that we will win, and that we will work towards a better Arizona — an Arizona where no one gets left behind or goes without a voice.

The people of Maricopa county are getting left behind and are going without a voice, you evil bitch.

Judge blocks Arizona county from hand-counting ballots

Madeleine Hubbard  |  Updated: November 8, 2022 - 11:26am


An Arizona judge has stopped a rural country's plan to hand-counting midterm ballots, following a request from Republicans for the process over concerns about the trustworthiness of the voting machines.

Pima County Superior Court Judge Casey McGinley's ruled Monday the county board of supervisors went beyond its authority by directing the county recorder to count all ballots cast instead of a small sample as required by state law, the Associated Press reports.

The judge in a case, brought by the progressive group Arizona Alliance for Retired Americans, which sued to stop the proposed count, said the law allows for only for a small hand-count of early ballots to ensure voting machine accuracy.

Most Republicans don't vote early because they don't want to signal to the Dems how many fake ballots they will need.

Some fraction of voters will not turn out if there is only one date.  Technology issues like today, health problems, car problems, scheduling conflicts, long lines, simply forgetting the date, etc.  The GOP has to quit hobbling itself.

Voter Suppression? Average Wait Time To Vote In Georgia Is Two Minutes

Georgia polls have an average wait time of two minutes per voter across the entire state according the Georgia Secretary of State’s office, WABE News reporter Rahul Bali reported Tuesday.

Bali reported that the polls had maintained a two-minute wait time, and pointed to results as early as 7 p.m. EST, despite claims that Georgia’s voter laws are “suppressive.” In past elections, Georgia voters have reported voter suppression after waiting in long lines, but early voting and an updated voter information page seem to have brought wait times down.

The waiting on election day really sucks.  For those who have the luxury of being able to drink, the best approach to election day is to be at the polls at 7am to cast your vote.  Then go back home and start drinking heavily.  Drink until passing out around noon.  Then have your alarm set for 8 pm and your coffee maker set to brew a pot at the same time.  Put on your bathrobe, pour yourself a bowl of corn flakes, then turn on the TV.

Maybe that's what @corbe did.

3 Tulsa poll workers could face charges after denying city council ballots to voters, sheriff says

Christina Maxouris  |  26 minutes ago


At least three poll workers in Tulsa County’s Precinct 77 were relieved of their duties Tuesday after authorities received reports that they were not handing out city council ballots to certain voters, Tulsa County Sheriff Vic Regalado said in a news conference. 

The Oklahoma county sheriff said he received video with allegations that poll workers were not giving the city council ballot to Republican voters on Tuesday morning and that “they were only being given to Democrats, Independents and Libertarians.”

The Tulsa County Election Board received a report about the incident at roughly 7:45 a.m. local time, contacted poll workers to instruct them they were supposed to give city council ballots along with the state ballots to voters and “they began handing out the city council ballots ... at 8 a.m.,” said Gwen Freeman, the election board secretary. The poll workers were relieved of their duties and new poll workers were assigned, Freeman said. A total of about 30 to 40 people who voted in the morning were impacted, Freeman said.

Not so good news from Wisconsin:


Dane County runs out of ballots

HENRY REDMAN - 2:37 PM


In an early afternoon tweet, Dane County Clerk Scott McDonell said he already had to order more ballots in a sign that turnout was high in the largely Democratic county.

“Just had to reorder some ballots,” he wrote. “I ordered a lot of ballots.  So take that as some sort of tea leaf.”

In an email from the Dane County Clerk’s office, the county reported that 47,551 ballots had been counted as of 11 a.m., which is approximately 27% of registered voters.

The county is on track for about 85% turnout. In 2018, Gov. Tony Evers carried the county with more than 220,000 votes.

Wisconsin voting delayed by man with knife at polling location who demanded 'stop the voting,' police said
The unidentified suspect demanded the staff at the West Bend Community Memorial Library to 'stop the voting,' police said

By Louis Casiano | Fox News

A 38-year-old man was arrested Tuesday amid reports he was armed with a knife and threatening staff at a Wisconsin polling location to "stop the voting," authorities said.

The West Bend Police Department said it received a call from West Bend Community Memorial Library staff about the unidentified man at about 12:35 p.m.

He allegedly demanded that operations stop. Police officers responded and took him into custody. No one was harmed.

The library is the polling location for the city, 40 miles north of Milwaukee. Voting was paused for 30 minutes as authorities investigated the scene, police said.

The incident remains under investigation, police said.

As vote totals increase, Walker's numbers improve.  By county, I'm comparing his vote percentage with Trump's from 2020.

Pierce County - 83% complete.  Walker doing 1 point better.
Candler County - 84% complete.  Walker +1 point
Quitman County - 86% complete.  Walker +2 points better than Trump.

I'm guessing that all the early numbers in Fulton and Richmond Counties were early votes.

This can't be happening...then ALL the polls were wrong..

Many of the states process the early vote before same day.  There is simply no way Sununu loses in New Hampshire, and as of now, he is behind.  Some of the county colors in NC are going to flip as well -- I would be flabbergasted if Budd lost to that lady.

Indeed — As a statistical anomaly, the potential flip of Palm Beach County is maybe even more impressive, since it was last carried by the GOP in 1994.  Anyway, I feel better about tonight after the accelerated results came in from FL.  It’s hard to believe the party conducts a massacre in a large state and then tanks everywhere else.

Maybe a bigger deal is the potential flip of Palm Beach County, which I believe was last carried by the GOP in 1994.  Anyway, I feel better about tonight after the accelerated results came in from FL.  It’s hard to believe the party conducts a massacre in a large state and then tanks everywhere else.

Conservative leadership period.  Ron won both Miami-Dade and Palm Beach by over 10%. That is huge!!!

The man no doubt would make a great President.  FL governorship is subject to term limits anyways and I'm hoping another conservative is waiting in the wings.

Exactly, and I've stated several times that the demographics have drastically changed in TX and at an alarming rate.

Looking at some county-by-county results. It is becoming clear that early, pre-Election Day votes not only came in first but favored Democrats by almost stupid margins.

GOP voters basically vote on Election Day, not before. It is going to come down to turnout. As always.

If this were the casemerrick garland would be on the Supreme Court.

Hillary Clinton is the one who kept Merrick Garland off the Supreme Court.  She wanted the pick for herself after winning the 2016 election.

If the Dems had pushed it, McConnell would have caved.  But they didn't push it because they were convinced they would hold the White House in 2017.  There was never any passion for Garland.  They just tossed his name out as a holder until Hillary took office.

I've been pulling my data from WSB.  CNN is currently showing this:

Warnock
Incumbent
49.1%   
1,543,154
2,320 ahead

Walker
49.0%   
1,540,834

CNN shows 40,000 more votes for Warnock, but more importantly, less votes for Walker.

I don't know why they haven't called this race yet.  On second thought, I do know why.

Georgia - 6th
74% in

McCormick (R)
62.4%

Christian (D)
37.6%

In the neighboring 7th District with only 50% of the vote counted, the Democrat has a lower percentage than McCormick above.  Yet that race has been called.  Go figure.

Combine that with the fact that it was Dem money that gave Trump's candidates primary wins.

The biggest lesson from this election is that the Democrats had sooooo much money going in that they had the luxury of picking their GOP opponents.  Maybe next time, Republicans will fight harder when the Dems want to pass trillion dollar graft packages that fill their campaign chests.  There's a reason why they call the GOP the Stupid Party.

Voters were essentially unmoved by the explosion of crime, inflation, open borders, and drugs.

If you are looking for someone who signed off on more Democrat debt than Ryan, you would spell it T-R-U-M-P.

DeSantis knows how to balance a budget.

DeSantis also has a state house that’s friendly to him

Maybe we were wrong. Maybe Trump’s  last minute attacks on DeSantis actually helped him

In 20 years of politics, this has to be the most non-sensical set of election returns I've ever seen, and don't even get me started on the polls. Wildly wrong in all directions, I could have done better blindfolded throwing darts.

So... the bottom line tonight is that the House and Senate will be divided almost 50/50, as before. Democrats may well maintain control of both, and all the polls were wrong.

Voters were essentially unmoved by the explosion of crime, inflation, open borders, and drugs.

Make of that what you will, for our future as a nation. 

Good night.

All projections look like a narrow GOP house majority.  Senate?  From this exact moment I am guessing a GA runoff will decide that.

With that....   too bad the Libertarian senate candidate from GA, didn't take a cue from AZ's.

Dims will pull out a stops, cheat wise if it means retaining the senate.

If we can stop a "cheat", I hope the 80K Libertarian voters vote how I think they will......

Seems like 2020 was at 99% and they kept counting mail ballots.  Does anyone know exactly what is left?

I am NOT liking what I see in Wisconsin either.

Even with a red wave, Biden was not gonna change course. There’s no way he’s going to do it now. We’re just gonna have to go through the pain

That's because the Republican Establishment SUPPORTS voter fraud. The very last thing Mitch McConnell wants are REAL Republicans actually getting elected. They would throw his ass out in a second and he knows that. The Republican Aristocracy is perfectly fine with Democrats cheating and winning every election, as long as it keeps them in power. They simply don't care. Everything is about them, and their own wealth and power. The dirty peasants (all of us normal working people) can die in the dirt for all they care.

In states with clean, fraud-free, ID-required elections, it appears there was a red wave, both in local elections and statewide ones. In my own county, a longtime Dem commissioner - a good guy, well-liked - was ousted by a Republican newcomer. Our Democrat state delegate - a real union hack, the guy I narrowly lost to back in 2012 - was obliterated by a Republican college kid. Similar stories in local and state elections throughout our area, and even across the river in Ohio.

But where you have no ID, lots of mail-in ballots, same day registering and voting, no real rules about absentee or mail-in ballots - yeah, the Democrats took advantage.

There is certainly a great deal to be said and done about the failure of the Republican Party leadership in grooming candidates and delivering electoral success for them.

Undoubtedly there will be a lot said and perhaps, in time, something done about that.

But the one thing that strikes me most about last night's events is how thoroughly awful, willfully dumb, and emotionally motivated the American electorate has become.

And that is a problem that will not be solved in one mere election cycle.

The statistic posted above in this thread about how much GenZ voted Dem indicates - to me, at least - that the problem originates in our government schools.

I am a little more cynical and bitter on the matter.  My takeaways:

1. Seeing the extension and full incorporation of what happens when half your population is on the Entitlement Train. There is now a solid umoveable voting bloc who will not risk their gubmit checks from Uncle Sugar.
2. GOP underestimated the GOTV power of Dobbs.  Hate to say I told everyone so, but when the SCOTUS decsion was made, I said at this forum that this would adversely impact us at the polls.  Don't get me wrong I am Pro-Life, but the timing of the ruling was an election killer.
3. I grieve for our country when so many sheeple have bought into the MSM narratives around J6, Reproductive Rights, and faux threats to Democracy.  I have come to the conclusion that half our population is utterly stupid
4. PA and GA should have been 100% winnable.  The GOP needs better vetting and choices.  Also, DJT should not be given the task to hand pick candidates.
5.  The point that there are historically the most things going wrong at the same time in this country, and last night happened?  Mindboggling.  Just another reason, I wish we could split the country in two ideologically.  I am f___g sick and tired of paying for the entitlement junkies and their driving us off the cliff.

Donald Trump: Sen. Rick Scott ‘Would Be Much Better’ than McConnell as Republican Senate Leader

Former President Donald Trump told Glenn Beck that he believes Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) “would be much better than” Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) as Republican Senate Majority Leader.

I have no interest right now on what Trump has to say...

Same here.   This is the same Donald Trump that brought us Oz and Herschel Walker.  Not capturing the senate is a lot on him.

Voters support abortion rights in all five states with ballot measures

Voters in California, Vermont and Michigan on Tuesday approved ballot measures enshrining abortion rights into their state constitutions, while those in traditional red states Montana and Kentucky rejected measures that would have restricted access to reproductive care.

There is something VERY wrong with our elections currently and I think Catherine Englebright and Greg Phillips (True the Vote (https://www.truethevote.org/)) know what it is. I fully expect them to have unfortunate accidents very soon.

I don't know what to think. Despite the leadership, the candidates across the board had a pretty decent and consistent message. Maybe not specific enough, but not only did the Rats have nothing, but they basically sat there and punched Americans in the face, then blubbered about abortion and 'democracy'.

It was wildly successful in some areas, in others it seemed to go nowhere. If economic pain and lax on crime can't move the needle, then I don't know what to say. Guess some people would rather feel righteous and get mugged rather than pay the rent and feed their families.

No doubt there were underfunding issue in the Senate races due to Mitch. He should be voted out as Leader for the blatant, corrupt betrayal, but he won't. That's on the GOP.

I'm sure there was cheating, but how? If the Rats have gotten so good at it that it can't even be detected, we're screwed. The GOP lost some of those races by enough margin that cheating wasn't even an issue.

And the polls. Like I said last night, I could have thrown darts blindfolded and done just. Way off in all directions, undercounted GOP leads in some places, overcounted strength in others.

We may eke out majorities in Congress, but with the RINO vote we still got nothin'. Guess we'll have to do what we can, where we can in the State govts. Not sure how those came out yet.

Agreed on first point.  To the extent Trump's involvement made a difference, it did not help.  I was indifferent to his candidate selections from a policy standpoint, but the baseline goal of any midterm is to gain a majority and block the democrats from harming the country for two years.  He did not promote electable candidates in the most critical of places.  There is still a chance either house could flip if everything falls into place.  We should not have been in this position the morning after the election.

The abortion issue most certainly harmed our candidates, especially after Lindsey Graham decided to revive it with a federal abortion ban.  All candidates for national office should have deferred to the states, and the state lawmakers should only push for restrictions that are politically viable in those places.

Ok .... my two cents.

Yes, the indoctrination of our youth to oppose American exceptionalism was on full display last night. However, must of us have seen this for quite sometime.  Glenn Beck has been very vocal and active on this issue, yet his pleas and cries have fallen on deaf ears.  In order for conservatism to take a stronghold this needs to change and very quickly.

Again, things are not going to change from the top down as so many were hoping for last night.  Things have to change from the bottom up in order to succeed.  We can look at FL as an example; conservative house and senate and a conservative governor.  DeSantis won a county that normally votes DEM.  FL continued to hold together their conservative seats.

Yes a lot went wrong last night and perhaps Trump's stronghold is gone. Hopefully a conservative candidate will emerge to stave off the liberal stronghold, but without conservative leadership nothing will change.  I do see a very slight glimmer of hope as there were conservative governors who either won races or kept their seats.  That will in my opinion be the only strength of conservatism left; state's rights.

Our country has been dying and so many erroneously thought that things were going to change this election. The problem remains IMO that there just aren't enough conservative candidates running at the federal level.

I don't even know at this point if there are enough conservative candidates at the state level to make a difference.

We are in for extremely rough days ahead.

Do not lose sight of the patriotism that we hold dear nor our rights under the Constitution.  I'm afraid we are going to have to fight for both.   :patriot: :patriot: :patriot: :patriot:

The Republican Party outside of Florida has no message. No discipline. No leadership. No courage to confront the important issues head on. That’s why they’re losing to literally brain damaged candidates. We need a total overhaul.

Yep.  It's gonna be tough though with the current rules in place.  The GOP is being occupied with interlopers who created rules back in 2016 that protect their occupation.

Virginia Democrat Congresswoman Elaine Luria became one of the first incumbents to lose re-election Tuesday night as well as the fourth member of the House Select Committee of Jan. 6 to leave Congress next year.

Luria lost in Virginia’s southeast 2nd congressional district to Republican Jennifer Kiggans, a nurse practitioner and former Navy pilot.

"Voters support abortion rights in all five states with ballot measures
Voters in California, Vermont and Michigan on Tuesday approved ballot measures enshrining abortion rights into their state constitutions, while those in traditional red states Montana and Kentucky rejected measures that would have restricted access to reproductive care."


Brings to mind the old saying:

The right wished for the end of Roe.
And... they got it.

But that end has come with a heavy price, one that won't go away:
The loss of a substantial number of votes, particularly from younger women (and males, too).

The end of Roe has handed the left a gift that will keep on giving in the future.
I sense that the power of this issue will not grow weaker, but rather, stronger.

You got proof we are getting to 218?  We have been stuck on 200 for 8 hours now.

Redistricting alone will push the GOP over 217.  They have known this all along, yet they have been pushing this as some major accomplishment.

My district (GA-06) was redrawn to ensure an easy victory for the GOP.  The tradeoff was that GA-07 was redrawn to ensure an easy victory for the Democrats.  Both districts were competitive.  With a little work, the GOP could have won both.  But they took the easy route and conceded GA-07 to the Dems.

Idiots.  Lazy pathetic idiots.  Republican leaders could care less if the Democrats are in charge.  Their biggest fear is to be held accountable for anything.  It's easier to complain about Democrats than it is to do anything to correct it.  Take Obamacare for example.  We still have it.  Twelve years later, and Obamacare remains the law of the land.  Republicans are worthless.  And the voters know it.

Let's not forget that the Washington GOP wanted to eliminate Donald Trump more than they wanted majorities in the House and the Senate, so let's give credit where credit is due.  It's why McConnell played whack-a-mole with campaign dollars,  offered no verbal support --- it's why McCarthy didn't get his bony ass to one rally in support of House candidates to talk up both the candidate and his upcoming agenda.

It's why the Washington GOP never pushed for meaningful election reform, got to the bottom of the fraud in 2020 or fought the J6 clown committee tooth and nail, every step of the way.   It's why their follow-up to Dobbs was to propose a national ban on abortion ---- and I doubt even they anticipated the rewards of completely ignoring the youth vote --  who decided so many of the elections.. For the Washington GOP the midterms were meant to be the end of Trump AND his pesky supporters who still refuse to get in line.

And for those eagerly hitching their wagon to the RDS star - gird your loins.  He's just about served his purpose.

Bigun asks:
"And again, I'll ask you @Fishrrman just who would you think might populate this new Continental Congress you keep blathering about?"

So I'll answer:
Selected delegates from the red (and a few purple) states, same as for the earlier ones.

And I'm not talking about "elected" delegates.
Thinkers, writers, even regular folks who have risen to a measure of distinction.

From Texas, among "the rest"... that might include... YOU.

Consider the first Continental Congress...
Who attended?
What did they discuss?
When they first convened, did they even know in which direction they would eventually go?

When things have gone as wrong as they have with "blue America", where do the red states begin in their effort to "right" things?

How can they even proceed, without discussions, meetings, some kind of joint plans?

The solutions to the problems traditional-minded Americans face today aren't going to just "materialize" in front of us.

And finally, an ominous thought I saw posted elsewhere yesterday:
The electoral process ain't gonna solve this.
What will...?

Democratic consultant and political commentator James Carville said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that former President Donald Trump was the reason Democrats did not lose up to 57 seats in the House of Representatives.

It's not a difficult task to distance your Party from Donald Trump without bringing up the 2020 election.  On policy alone, there was a heck of a lot of things that Trump signed off on or failed to do that was detrimental to us.  We simply needed Republicans to step up, highlight those failures, and spell out how they would be addressed.

Bar none, the #1 problem that both the United States and the Republican Party faces today is federal spending.  Yet I don't recall a single Republican candidate explaining this to the American people.  Not a one.

Republicans deserved to lose.  But they really don't care that they did.

Not in my State.  The GOP here in Georgia is a cancer.  Their greatest enemy is Conservatives willing to charge forward and make changes for the better.

I know. Some states have the same problems we have at the nat'l level. It's almost harder to fix than beating the Dems.

Bigun asks:
"And again, I'll ask you @Fishrrman just who would you think might populate this new Continental Congress you keep blathering about?"

So I'll answer:
Selected delegates from the red (and a few purple) states, same as for the earlier ones.

And I'm not talking about "elected" delegates.
Thinkers, writers, even regular folks who have risen to a measure of distinction.


From Texas, among "the rest"... that might include... YOU.

Consider the first Continental Congress...
Who attended?
What did they discuss?
When they first convened, did they even know in which direction they would eventually go?

When things have gone as wrong as they have with "blue America", where do the red states begin in their effort to "right" things?

How can they even proceed, without discussions, meetings, some kind of joint plans?

The solutions to the problems traditional-minded Americans face today aren't going to just "materialize" in front of us.


How would you propose assembling this group given the current state of affairs?

Quote
And finally, an ominous thought I saw posted elsewhere yesterday:
The electoral process ain't gonna solve this.
What will...?

On that, we are in complete agreement and YOU know the answer as well as I do!

Carville: Dems Should Have Lost 57 Seats – Trump Is Reason We Didn’t

Democratic consultant and political commentator James Carville said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that former President Donald Trump was the reason Democrats did not lose up to 57 seats in the House of Representatives.

"Omar, 40, had 74.3 percent of the vote with all precincts reporting while Ocasio-Cortez, 33, had 67 percent,"

"Tlaib had 73.7 percent of the vote with 66 percent of precincts reporting early Wednesday."

"Pressley, 48, holds the seat for Massachusetts’ 7th Congressional District.
Veteran Donnie Palmer challenged Pressley, who had 84.5 percent of the vote with 95 percent of precincts reporting, according to The Associated Press."

"[Cori} Bush had 72.8 percent of the vote with all precincts reporting, according to the Missouri secretary of state’s office.

I just want to hear an answer to this one question.  Substantively, what would a second Trump Administration offer?  Seriously.

A border wall?  Couldn't get that done even with a GOP Congress.
Fire Fauci?  He had four years to do that.
Cut federal spending?  Our debt increased by trillions under his watch.
Clean out the establishment?  He embraced them at every turn.

The truth of Donald Trump is staring us in the face.

I guess Arizona will resume counting when they feel like it.  Election month is the biennial tradition henceforth.  One of the house races needs to flip back to the republicans.

Laxalt is the potential pickup to bring it back to 50.  The remaining precincts do not appear to benefit either side, but who knows. 

Assuming all goes well, to reclaim the senate, the GOP would have to draw up a play to get Walker past the goal line on Dec 6.

Kean ousts Malinowski in N.J.’s hottest congressional race

Quote


Former state Senate Republican Leader Tom Kean Jr. won New Jersey’s hottest congressional race in Tuesday’s midterm elections, ousting Democratic Rep. Tom Malinowski after a tough campaign that gained national attention.

Malinowski conceded Wednesday morning, prompting Kean to issue a statement saying he was “honored” to be elected to the 7th District seat.

“Throughout this district and throughout this nation, we have been given the opportunity to change the course of history,” Kean said. “My solemn pledge to you will always be to serve with integrity, to listen, to learn, to earn this responsibility you’ve honored me with to steer this nation towards greater opportunity, security and prosperity.”

Another problem is that blue voters won't stay in blue States.  When life becomes unbearable because of the policies they voted for, they escape those blue States and move to red States where they can vote for the same policies.

Well, ok.  I watched the video and saw it for myself.

He's going after one of the most popular governors and conservatives that we have right now. He should be applauding him not calling him names.

Trump just schlitzed in his own mess kit.

I too am done with Trump.  He did well for this country but he is no longer president and should be helping this country move forward and obviously he's not interested in supporting anyone that is doing well.

I wasn't a Trump supporter in the beginning, supported him most of the time as president, but I cannot and will not support him in the future.  Trump is toast!

People have moved here in record numbers for a reason and it's not because DeSantis is unpopular or they wanted to move closer to Mar a Lago.

Exit Poll: Generation Z, Millennials Break Big for Democrats

Voters between the ages of 18 and 29 cast their ballot in favor of Democrat 63 percent of the time, exit polling data found.

Spencer Lindquist9 Nov 202221
2:45

Voters between the ages of 18 and 29 cast their ballots in favor of Democrats 63 percent of the time in the 2022 elections, exit polling data found.

Data from NBC exit polls found that the demographic, comprised of Generation Z and the Millennials, voted 63 percent for Democrats and just 35 percent for the Republicans.

The age demographic accounted for 12 percent of the electorate, in contrast to those aged 30 to 44, who made up 21 percent of the electorate and voted 51 percent for Democrats and 47 percent for Republicans, the exit poll data found.

Meanwhile, those between the ages of 45 and 64 made up 39 percent of the electorate and voted 44 percent for the Democrats and 54 percent for Republicans. The oldest demographic, those 65 and older, accounted for 28 percent of the electorate and supported Democrats 43 percent of the time and Republicans 55 percent of the time.

Though the 18 to 29 age group accounted for the smallest share of the electorate compared to the other age demographics, they were the most unified in their support of the Democrats, with no other age group voting for either party at such a high margin.

More specifically, those between the ages of 18 and 24, which accounted for seven percent of the electorate, supported the Democrats by a margin of 61 to 36 percent. Those between 25 and 29, six percent of the electorate, favored the Democrats by an even higher margin, with 65 percent of them voting for Democrats and only 33 percent going for Republicans.

The 18 to 29 age group differed significantly when the age group was broken down by racial demographic, though all racial demographics within the age group preferred the Democrats.

White voters between the ages of 18 to 29, 8 percent of the electorate, had by far the highest support for Republicans but they still supported Democrats over Republicans by a wide margin, 58 to 40 percent.

Latino voters between the ages of 18 and 29, three percent of the electorate, supported Democrats 68 to 30 percent. Meanwhile, black voters ages 18 to 29 accounted for just one percent of the electorate but supported Democrats overwhelmingly, 89 percent to nine percent.

So .... things change and grandkids grow up.  As far as health issues though, that's certainly a huge consideration.  There's no way either of us could move again.

Joe Biden: Threats of Hunter Biden Investigations from Republicans ‘Almost Comedy’

The president spoke about looming investigations during a press conference at the White House on the results of the midterm elections.

Charlie Spiering 9 Nov 2022

President Joe Biden dismissed upcoming investigations by House Republicans on Wednesday when they ultimately take control of the House of Representatives as expected.

“Lots of luck in your senior year as my coach used to say,” Biden scoffed when asked about investigations into his administration and his family.

The president spoke about looming investigations during a press conference at the White House regarding the results of the midterm elections.

Republicans have previewed investigations into Biden’s handling of the border crisis, the exit from Afghanistan, some of his cabinet officials, and his son Hunter Biden.

Biden referred to reports that Trump was asking Republicans how many times they planned to impeach him.

“I mean, I think the American people will look at all that for what it is – it’s almost comedy,” he said.

He indicated that Americans did not care about those issues, but said he could not control what Republicans would do.

“I think the American public wants us to move on and get things done for them,” he said.

It isn't comical, it's absolutely disgusting that the DEMS weren't absolutely trounced last night.  It speaks volumes; this country is in very, very serious trouble that's not going to be resolved at the ballot box.

Axelrod: Biden Should Avoid ‘Triumphalism’ — ‘This Wasn’t’ Really ‘an Affirmation of Policies’

During CNN’s election coverage on Wednesday, CNN Senior Political Commentator and former Obama adviser David Axelrod said that the message of the results in the 2022 midterm elections “wasn’t an affirmation of policies so much” as a rebuke of extremism

and that he would advise President Joe Biden against being triumphant in addressing the results.

Axelrod said, “Look, what I would advise would be to understand what the message was yesterday. I think it was a repudiation of extremism in all its forms. And I think he should note that and understand this wasn’t an affirmation of policies so much as that, and recognize that people are still struggling with inflation and other challenges and our job is to work together to try and solve them.”

He added, “Humility is good. And I think I would understand if they’re buoyant in the White House because this was a far better result than they anticipated. And so, much be — it must be an incredible relief. But I would advise against triumphalism and I would make it not about him, but about the country, and what it says about the country, and where we have to lead.”

In state after state we are seeing a shift away from an election day to an election season. Ballot harvesting, drop boxes, and early voting are here to stay as we move toward systems of on-demand voting. GenZ / TikTok using to great effect. The final stage will be digital voting

We accepted early voting and mail in ballots.  We will only get to digital voting if we are accepting of it.  We need to demand that we go back to voting on Election Day and that's it.  There's too much room for corruption with an election that lingers on for weeks.

Vote on Election Day period.  Yes, that keeps a small percentage of people from voting, but I'd rather see that than allowing a large opportunity for election fraud and corruption.

It's a shame that the GOP and RNC learned nothing from the previous presidential election.

It's more than that @mystery-ak -- and they were weaned on social media.  That meeting at the White House with top TikTok users should be making sense right about now.

Even more amazingly, We took all the state offices so far except Auditor with 2 counties still out.

Most importantly, we got rid of long time skanky Rat AG Tom Miller.

Why are we blaming Trump for not spending more? Where was the RNC? What about Mitch McConnell?

Thank you @LilLamb  for asking this.  Hopefully, when emotions subside, more questions will be asked, including --

What was the Washington GOP doing? Why did McConnell play whack-a-mole with campaign dollars and support multiple times, including pulling ads from competitive markets? For instance, why did he transfer money from Blake Masters to Lisa Murkowski?

Did McConnell approve going public with the proposal to ban abortion at the national level after the Dobbs decision, handing the democrats a reason to run on the most divisive issue of the past 50 years? BTW, what was the GOP's political message on abortion --- other than a victory lap?

And speaking of messaging -- whose strategic GOP genius was it to ignore the youth vote that coordinated their efforts, mobilized and voted in droves? That meeting the White House held with top TikTok users makes sense now, doesn't it? Did McConnell and McCarthy intentionally dismiss this development?

Where were McCarthy and McConnell---or their representatives? Trump held dozens and dozens of rallies on behalf of House and Senate candidates across the nation, yet neither could attend one in a show of support and unity. Could it be a failure pinned on DJT was more important than an election victory?

Who in the GOP reached out to DeSantis to publicly support, including robo calls, John O'Dea in Colorado ---- the one GOP candidate for the Senate to make stopping Trump in 2024 a pillar of his campaign? Does it matter to McConnell that O'Dea lost by 20 points or was the change in RDS's messaging the point?

What is RDS's relationship with his former mentors: team McConnell, McCarthy and Ryan?

After the 2000 fiasco, Florida is very strict with their counties regarding the standardization, proper staffing, and logistics to ensure timely reporting.  The other difference comes down to timing of mail ballots.  In FL the ballot MUST be received by election day unless you are overseas.  This means that while a trickle come in on Tuesday, most people send the ballots well in advance.  Nevada lets you screw around until the last second, and it can still be received by this coming Saturday and processed later.  Arizona received hand deliveries of tens of thousands of votes on election day.  In FL the mail ballots are processed and cured as received, and not twelve days after the damn election.

McEnany: Have ‘to Make Strategic Calculations’ on Trump Visiting Georgia, DeSantis ‘Should Be Welcomed’ There

On Wednesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Outnumbered,” co-host and former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany stated that no Republican should announce their 2024 presidential candidacy until Georgia’s Senate runoff is completed and responded to the prospect of former President Donald Trump going to Georgia by stating that “we’ve got to make strategic calculations. Gov. DeSantis, I think he should be welcomed to the state, given what happened last night.”

McEnany stated that because there is a real chance that control of the U.S. Senate comes down to the December runoff election in Georgia. She added, “And let me just say this, every ounce of Republican energy, every last ounce, needs to go into that Georgia race because it could, potentially, be what makes or breaks the Senate, getting Herschel Walker over the finish line.”

Arizona Dems widen leads with Maricopa vote dump
Daniel Chaitin

Democrats in two key Arizona races widened their leads following the release of a fresh batch of votes, though the contests remain close.

Katie Hobbs, Arizona's secretary of state who is running as the Democratic nominee for governor, saw her lead be extended from about 8,100 votes to 13,000 following a drop of 62,000 ballots from Maricopa County.

https://twitter.com/BiancaBuono/status/1590529526303723521

The lead for Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) over Republican Blake Masters grew from roughly 88,000 votes to 95,000.

https://twitter.com/JimSmall/status/1590525137098399745

There are still hundreds of thousands of votes yet to be counted, and it could be at least one more day before either race is called.

Pro-Impeachment Lisa Murkowski, Kelly Tshibaka Advance to Final Round of Alaska’s Ranked-Choice Voting

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Republican challenger Kelly Tshibaka advanced on Wednesday to the final found of ranked-choice tabulation after neither candidate reached the 50 percent threshold in the first round.

With 80 percent of the votes counted, Tshibaka leads the race with 44.3 percent. Murkowski is close behind at 42.8 percent, while Democrat candidate Pat Chesbro holds 9.5 percent.

The vote counting will now move into a late stage of tabulation, where the third choices of down-ballot votes are distributed across the remaining candidates to see if either one of them will reach the 50 percent threshold.

The final vote tabulation could take up to 15 days after Election Day.

Alaska’s elections use a ranked choice voting system effectively affords Democrat voters the opportunity to vote for Murkowski on the second and third ballots. Alaska’s ranked-choice general election and open primary system works like this:

    All candidates from all parties appear on the ballot together in the August primary. The top four vote-getters regardless of party then advance to the general election, and their voters are given the opportunity to pick their top choice, as well as their second and third choices. If no candidate in the first round of voters’ first choices gets 50 percent of the vote, the last place candidate’s second choices are distributed across the remaining three candidates to see if someone can get across the majority threshold. If that fails again to produce a majority vote-getter, then a third round is conducted where the third place candidate’s votes are redistributed according to second choices between the remaining two candidates.

There is also another potential pickup in the new CO-08.  The republican has closed the gap to 134 with 89% in.  However, the republican has conceded (??)

Good news also, we've had a few projected flips based on lead changes.

If you take current leaders of uncalled races in the House we are now at 222 vs. 220 yesterday at this time.

It amazes me to no end that when a single voting machine goes out in Philadelphia, the Dems are able to find some judge who will extend voting until 10 pm or later.  Yet in Maricopa County when 20% of the machines go out, a judge can't be found anywhere who will extend voting.

The election results in Arizona will likely be delayed past the weekend as a Maricopa County spokesperson said the counting of ballots will not be done Friday as original expected. The nation anxiously awaits the results of the gubernatorial election and senate races.

Kari Lake faced off against Democrat Katie Hobbs, who refused to step onto the debate stage and address her opponent, while Blake Masters seeks to unseat incumbent Mark Kelly for an Arizona senate seat.

Ali Bradley reports, "AZ: Spokesperson for #MaricopaCounty elections tells me the majority of ballots won’t be done being counted until after the weekend. They initially anticipated 95-99% of ballots to be completed by Friday. An historic 290k ballots were dropped off #ElectionDay causing the delay."

Another election has been stolen folks and the only remedy is to become involved.

IMO it's too late ... another 2 years under the Joe administration with either a DEM Senate or House will be the complete collapse of our country.

Kari Lake Delivers Good News for Republicans Who are Closely Watching Arizona Race

    by Kyle Becker November 10, 2022

Arizona Republican Kari Lake has good news for those who are closely watching the governor’s race and expecting new votes to come in for the America First candidate.

Lake delivered the news on the ‘Louder with Crowder’ podcast with Steven Crowder. Watch:

Quote
“The truth of the matter is, and I just got these numbers, there are 384,000,” Lake said. “That’s a lot of votes. 384,000 votes that are mail in ballots. So these people received them a month ago, but they didn’t trust probably most of them dropping ’em off at a Dropbox or in the US Postal Service. So they filled them out, they went into the voting center on election day, and handed them in. They felt that was the safest way to ensure that their ballot truly got to where it needed to go. Right.”

“And those ones haven’t been counted,” she added. “Those are most likely going to go two to one, maybe even three to one or greater in my direction, in the Republicans’ direction.”

“And I hate to step on you, but it’s just because sometimes we’re too close to the forest to see the trees,” Crowder added. “Here you’re saying these are ballots that were sent out. These are early ballots, but people, this is key, didn’t trust just sending them back in. So they dropped them off on election day. So they’re technically early votes, but dropped off that day. And that would be obviously most comparable to the numbers. Like we said, the drop of 55,000 votes in Maricopa County, of which 70.6% went to you, another 137,000 vote drop similar to this, 76% went to you. Right? These are the kinds of votes that we’re talking about, the number you just gave us. How many remain to be counted?”

“More than 384,000,” Lake said. “We believe that on the low end we would get 60% on the high end, more than 80% of those votes.”

“Over 384K Mail-In ballots dropped off on Election Day!” Kari Lake War Room tweeted. “These ballots are overwhelmingly in support of @KariLake & not a single one of them has been counted yet. This race is over for @katiehobbs.”

Maricopa County Now Admits That Over 30% Of Polling Locations Were Affected By Machine Failures, NOT 20% As Previously Stated – But They Want Us To Believe Only 17,000 Ballots Transported For Tabulation
By Jordan Conradson
Published November 10, 2022 at 4:35pm

Maricopa County has admitted in a new statement that 70 out of 223 voting centers were impacted by the election day debacle, where tabulators failed the moment that polls opened on Tuesday.

The Gateway Pundit reported that tabulators in Republican districts across Maricopa County were not working when the polls opened at 6 am, and voters were being told to place their ballots in a separate bin referred to as “box 3” to be counted later on.

Mark R. Levin
@marklevinshow

1. I have nothing against Karl Rove. I met him once or twice in passing. But he’s a predictable mouthpiece for the GOP establishment and, respectfully, is often wrong in his prognostications.

2. His attack in the WSJ on Trump as the fall guy for Tuesday’s disappointing outcome is more of the same. Many of the candidates for whom Rove raised funds and worked with McConnell to promote did quite poorly.

3. And the funds McConnell, et al, spent in Republican primaries smearing MAGA or non-establishment candidates was very destructive. Too many in the establishment put their own lust for power ahead of the best interests of the GOP and, ultimately, the country.

4. As for the quality of candidates, the Democrats nominated some truly horrific candidates who had records of trashing the country, support for releasing criminals, ties with radical leftists, etc. — that is, their candidates were, in many cases, disasters.

5. Rove, McConnell, the GOP establishment, etc., have a bad habit of attacking the GOP’s base. They did the same after the red tsunami in 2010, when the Tea Party delivered over 60 GOP seats to the House.

6. They blamed the Tea Party for choosing poor candidates in the GOP Senate primaries; otherwise, it was contended, the GOP would have picked more Senate seats. Truth be told, this crowd was also anti-Reagan decades ago, and supported Gerald Ford, another electoral disaster.

7. It’s time for McConnell and this gang to go. They take credit for raising and spending hundreds of millions of dollars and then blame conservatives (the base) when their efforts fall short. We don’t need any lectures from them.

I thought about that as well.  They leftists put him through hell and back and they're still slinging mud at him and dragging him through court.  He still does rallies and I think they allow him to vent and he is still well received which helps him cope with all that he's been dealt.  Yes, I think things have gotten to him.  It would be a lot for anyone to take on and I think age is finally settling in.

He started the MAGA movement and it will continue as long as he passes the torch on to someone else who will take this country in the same direction.

I had always been concerned about his age running in '24; age is not on his side. Sad yes, but everyone ages.

1. I see the GOP establishment and their media surrogates are in full propaganda mode. Tell me, what agenda did McConnell promote this election cycle for Republicans to run on? There was no agenda.

2. What legislation did McConnell say a Republican Senate would pass to address the public’s concerns? He offered nothing. There was no coordinated messaging from McConnell.

3. But he spent tens of millions trashing the conservative Republican in Alaska who was endorsed by the state GOP,

4. he denied funding to Republican candidates in Arizona and New Hampshire (both of whom were running against Democrat incumbents in difficult races), and his candidate in Colorado was crushed

I think the student loan giveaway is more resonant with the 18-29 group, especially when they are fighting inflation (even though the Dems caused it, and the giveaway exacerbates it.

Exit Poll: Generation Z, Millennials Break Big for Democrats

Voters between the ages of 18 and 29 cast their ballot in favor of Democrat 63 percent of the time, exit polling data found.

Spencer Lindquist9 Nov 202221
2:45

Voters between the ages of 18 and 29 cast their ballots in favor of Democrats 63 percent of the time in the 2022 elections, exit polling data found.

Data from NBC exit polls found that the demographic, comprised of Generation Z and the Millennials, voted 63 percent for Democrats and just 35 percent for the Republicans.

The age demographic accounted for 12 percent of the electorate, in contrast to those aged 30 to 44, who made up 21 percent of the electorate and voted 51 percent for Democrats and 47 percent for Republicans, the exit poll data found.

Meanwhile, those between the ages of 45 and 64 made up 39 percent of the electorate and voted 44 percent for the Democrats and 54 percent for Republicans. The oldest demographic, those 65 and older, accounted for 28 percent of the electorate and supported Democrats 43 percent of the time and Republicans 55 percent of the time.

Though the 18 to 29 age group accounted for the smallest share of the electorate compared to the other age demographics, they were the most unified in their support of the Democrats, with no other age group voting for either party at such a high margin.

More specifically, those between the ages of 18 and 24, which accounted for seven percent of the electorate, supported the Democrats by a margin of 61 to 36 percent. Those between 25 and 29, six percent of the electorate, favored the Democrats by an even higher margin, with 65 percent of them voting for Democrats and only 33 percent going for Republicans.

The 18 to 29 age group differed significantly when the age group was broken down by racial demographic, though all racial demographics within the age group preferred the Democrats.

White voters between the ages of 18 to 29, 8 percent of the electorate, had by far the highest support for Republicans but they still supported Democrats over Republicans by a wide margin, 58 to 40 percent.

Latino voters between the ages of 18 and 29, three percent of the electorate, supported Democrats 68 to 30 percent. Meanwhile, black voters ages 18 to 29 accounted for just one percent of the electorate but supported Democrats overwhelmingly, 89 percent to nine percent.

 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.”

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

Posted by Kane on November 11, 2022 2:44 am

https://twitter.com/RalstonReports/status/1590778229941379073

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.

Blake Masters' race is probably going to be decided by less than 30,000 votes and Mitch McConnell decided to spend $9M in Alaska to help a pro-abortion Republican beat an America First Republican for no other reason than Blake said he wouldn't support him for majority leader.

If present leads hold in uncalled races,  the breakout will be 219-216 GOP.  That has narrowed downfrom 222-213 earlier today.

Again, seems all the close ones seemed to be breaking toward the dims......   Getting kind of fishy, if you ask me.

Now they’re finding all sorts of Ballots in Clark County, Nevada. They are pulling out all stops to steal the Election from Adam Laxalt. Mitch McConnell, the Republicans Broken Down Senate Leader, does nothing about this. He’s too busy spending vast amounts of money on bad Senator Lisa M of Alaska, when Kelly S is FAR better. Should have fought and stopped the steal in 2020. Gave Dems 4 Trillion Dollars, never used Debt Ceiling. He is the WORST!

Kelly win in Arizona puts Dems 1 seat from Senate control
By Jonathan J. Cooper - Associated Press - Saturday, November 12, 2022

PHOENIX — Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly won his bid for reelection Friday in the crucial swing state of Arizona, defeating Republican venture capitalist Blake Masters to put his party one victory away from clinching control of the chamber for the next two years of Joe Biden’s presidency.

With Vice President Kamala Harris’ tiebreaking vote, Democrats can retain control of the Senate by winning either the Nevada race, which remains too early to call, or next month’s runoff in Georgia. Republicans now must win both those races to take the majority.

The Arizona race is one of a handful of contests that Republicans targeted in their bid to take control of the 50-50 Senate. It was a test of the inroads that Kelly and other Democrats have made in a state once reliably dominated by the GOP. Kelly’s victory suggests Democratic success in Arizona was not an aberration during Donald Trump’s presidency.

It has been argued that our population (in number) has outgrown the ability to retain the founding principles of our Constitution.  I often wonder how India's government survives with its large population - the answer being 'not very well'.  But our current demise and destruction is being driven by the printing of money and a population that has lost site of JFK's words, "Ask not what your country can do for you".

Several years ago, we reached the point where the providers and producers are outnumbered by the looters and takers.  Taxpayers are now in the minority and have become a slave class to the rest of the country.  There is no end but death to this course we are on.  That is the harsh reality, and no election will ever fix that again.  The non-taxpaying majority will vote for every future spending increase as well as every future tax increase.  They benefit from the former and are untouched (directly) by the latter.

It is a positive feedback system that grows on itself until there's no fuel left to consume. Essentially all the opportunities to restrain it before critical mass was reached were squandered chasing shiny things.

Half the states are red. Nullification can do wonders. Remember, we are not just stuck with Democrats - They are stuck with us. The problem, as I have said all along is NOT the Democrats - It is that they have no opposition.

The problem is Republicans in disarray behind a colluding and traitorous leadership. When real and principled opposition is begun, the result may surprise you.

But that requires Republicans to actually vote FOR their beliefs and nothing else - Something they have been trained to avoid with Pavlovian surety.

Conservatives tend to be rural, used to hardship, self contained, and structured to help each other. Which societal norm will survive the collapse and which will perish?

All three House Democrats from Nevada are projected to win reelection, beating back Republican challengers in a series of competitive races.

The Associated Press called the three Nevada races for Reps. Dina Titus, Steven Horsford and Susie Lee within minutes of each other on Friday night.

repubs 211

Repub total has not moved now for 48hrs

Now 211-203.

But one also finds in the human heart a depraved taste for equality, which impels the weak to want to bring the strong down to their level, and which reduces men to preferring equality in servitude to inequality in freedom."

NO!  DEMS keep winning because no one is doing anything about election integrity-- we have a few governors who have stepped up to the plate, but especially in GA, AZ and PA where there were problems before, the GOP should have done something.  Two years they sat and did nothing.  Gee -- here we sit again watching elections being stolen and the GOP is dead silent.

This has nothing to do with Trump.  Trump is NOT the president, doesn't hold any political office and you keep insulting people like Trump is still president and no one is giving him recognition.  That is in the past.  Presently, we have a very clear and huge problem -- DEMS are stealing another election and nothing is being done!

Obviously you are ignoring the numbers @Right_in_Virginia  and the very impressive stats speak for themselves.

Since when does a candidate have to win by 50%?  DeSatnis won by historic proportions. Thanks to our governor, FL is more red than ever!

Go Ron!!   :patriot:

White boots like that are pretty common for people wanting to get into the muck to see what level of flooding or disaster there is.  I have a pair just like them that are black. When I was an emergency manager at a petrochemical plant.

Wow. Just how low are you going to go @Right_in_Virginia ? Ron is wearing those boots in a disaster area that was pummeled by Ian.  Really? The man got transportation to and from islands that had bridges and roadways destroyed in less than a week and you area going to ridicule him? Going along with the liberal news jabs I thought was beneath you.

You're throwing a tantrum and a tizzy fit right along with Donald and it's beginning to show.

I realize that you are on an emotional roller coaster because DJT has resorted back to his bullying, but the focus

should be on AZ, and GA and why the hell the GOP/RNC did nothing about ballot integrity!!

How about that.  In 2014, Mitch McConnell was in the primary fight of his life against a TEA Party Conservative challenger.  And Donald Trump whipped out his checkbook and helped McConnell defeat his Conservative opponent.  He even had a little money left over to contribute to Kamala Harris.  Yet you tell me to ESAD?  Wow.  Mitch McConnell is the consumate RINO.  And he would have been gone eight years ago if not for Donald Trump.

And let's not forget about Ronna McDaniel.  Who it it that she owes her job to?



Trump Selects Ronna Romney McDaniel to Lead RNC

I know, right? I didn't get it at first. I saw muck boots on a governor and got a kinda "There's a guy, right in it, helping out" vibe...

Didn't even occur to me that muck boots might be thought a joke... Not to mention their color, which I hardly noticed in passing.

Kari Lake Still Has Path to Victory; Sen. Kelly Celebrates Senate Race Win
By Cameron Arcand | 3:30 PM on November 12, 2022

All eyes continue to be on Arizona, as the results of hundreds of thousands of ballots in Maricopa County have yet to be posted.

In Friday’s batch of nearly 80,000 ballots, they broke slightly in favor of Democrats, which was enough for Decision Desk HQ to determine that Democrat Sen. Mark Kelly will win re-election. There are roughly 370,000 ballots outstanding statewide, which could still be a game-changing number in some races.

These votes were presumably mixed between “late early” ballots dropped off on Election Day and some “Box 3” ballots. Many of the votes came from south Phoenix, as ABC15 Arizona’s Garrett Archer tweeted to explain the batch’s swing toward Democrats.

https://twitter.com/Garrett_Archer/status/1591333180229189635

Maricopa County is expected to drop another roughly 80,000 ballots from the same combination of ballot types on Saturday, according to Yvonne Wingett Sanchez at The Washington Post.

https://twitter.com/yvonnewingett/status/1591492060695375872

However, Archer noted that Saturday night’s drop will likely have a heavy Republican slant based on the areas the ballots are expected to come from. He tweeted that many of the ballots left in Maricopa County are coming from more conservative suburbs. This is good news for Lake and other down-ballot candidates.

I know it is difficult to watch a really good president self-destruct.  It upsets me as well, but I'll be darn if I sit and make up excuses for him or try to make a really good conservative governor look bad. Maybe take a break and go for a walk.  A change of scenery might do you some good.

No apology needed, but realize that as far as boot color, I have seen plenty of big plant guys who I wouldn't mess with prefer that color, and wore them.  More often than not, they don't care what color, and just take what the warehouse gives them.

Now if someome had donned a rainbow variety, I'd grant a double take, but this is a non-laugher.

Plus a question, I don't know how old you are, but you didn't wear any white leather shoes in 1970's?

Joe Biden

Notice how one poster here is trying to hold DeSantis to a standard that Trump never came close to meeting.  It's the same non-rational tactic that Democrats use.

Trump wins by 3.2 points.  DeSantis wins by 19.4 points.  Yet DeSantis is the slacker because he didn't win by 50.  I'm about to go off on these couillons.

Maricopa County Door #3 Ballots: Where Did They Go?

Wendi Strauch Mahoney  -  November 12, 2022


Maricopa County Election Judge Karla Sweet says she was asked to put 93 “Door #3” ballots in the black duffle bag with all of the other voted ballots at the end of the day on Election Day per the instruction of county Election Inspector Mark McCall. Sweet sent a letter to UncoverDC on November 11. The letter documents her observations and some of her thoughts throughout the day. Sweet worked at the Grace in the Desert Adventist Church poll location in Peoria, Arizona, in Maricopa County.

Notably, UncoverDC spoke with another Election Judge, Michele Swinick, who worked at another voting center. Swinick says every poll location was instructed by “the supervisor at Election HQ to place Door #3 ballots in the black duffle bags.” However, the request for where to put the Door #3 ballots in Swinick’s case was slightly different. Swinick reports she and others were instructed to put her Door #3 ballots in a separate black duffle bag. She personally marked a label on the duffle bag zipper with the words “Misread Ballots.” Both Sweet and Swinick expressed earnest concerns the Door #3 ballots might not ever be seen.

Vote totals from AZ:

Kari Lake - 1,070,509
Blake Masters - 1,006,490

So, 64,019 people voted for the "far right, extreme and controversial" candidate Kari Lake, then turned around and voted for far-left open borders Mark Kelly?

   Historically we should have been all over this, 2022.   



The American Presidency Project

The 2022 Midterm Elections: What the Historical Data Suggest.

History suggests Democratic loss of control of both House and Senate.

By  John T. Woolley
Tuesday, August 30, 2022


In the 22 midterm elections from 1934 -2018, the President's party has averaged a loss of 28 House seats and four Senate seats. The president’s party gained seats in the House only three times, but gained seats in the Senate on six occasions. The president’s party has gained seats in both houses only twice.

The incumbent president’s ability to launch new major policy initiatives would be greatly weakened under divided government. If the Democrats lose control of either House, the Administration can expect to be the target of numerous disruptive congressional inquiries.

Using the data we discuss below (and provide here) we would expect Democratic seat losses of around 30 in the House and 3 in the Senate. There are large error bounds around these estimates. The prediction range includes the possibility of a narrow Democratic gain in the Senate, but loss of the majority in the House seems likely. Graphs below show the two-variable relationships.

Democrats have a 9 seat margin currently in the House (with four seats vacant) and the parties are tied in the Senate. A Democratic loss in the House of fewer than 12 seats would be very unexpected.

Like many midterm projections, these estimates are based on aggregated data. There is no measure of current national controversies (for example, abortion or Trump-related litigation controversies). Both will affect turnout. Nor do we have any explicit measure of conditions and candidates in specific elections. Turnout is likely to be larger than normal, and usually that would be expected to favor the Democrats.

Partisan seat swings in midterm elections are consistently correlated with two factors:

The level of public approval of the incumbent President. As approval falls the greater the number of seats lost by the President’s party. In this sense the midterm is taken as a referendum on the incumbent president.
The number of seats each house of Congress up for election controlled by the President's party. As the number of seats to defend increases, the greater the number of seats lost.

Yes, Republicans failed to win the Senate, but the important thing is that the $10 million Mitch McConnell spent in Alaska instead of Arizona, Nevada, or Pennsylvania looks like it saved Lisa Murkowski from losing to a Republican.

So ... things are not looking up at all.  With all the stealing of votes going on I am afraid they are going to retain the majority in the House.  Oh my God help us!

@libertybele

It is said that the good Lord helps those who help themselves. And we're going to have to pitch in and work at it fearlessly, if Republicans are ever to win a national election again.

The main reasons for what happened last Tuesday, and for what is still happening days after most functional "democracies" have counted all the votes, are mail-in voting, and ballot-harvesting.

Democrats do it relentlessly everywhere they are allowed to do so.

They have perfected the process of flooding their supporters' mailboxes with ballots, including large numbers of people who would otherwise never turn up at the polls - and then sending out their paid armies to collect them.

These ballots are often not counted until Election Day votes have been tabulated. That's why states like California, Arizona and New Mexico are still counting. Democrats made the rules and enforce them, and always to their benefit.

Have you noticed that all of the remaining districts that have a Republican in the lead are being counted at a snail's pace, but that those with a Democrat in the lead keep racking up the votes until the Democrat wins? That's the result of Democrats controlling the process. It is corrupt. As is "ranked-choice" voting - another horrid idea brought to you by the Progressive Left.

And what has the national GOP done to counter this? Ummmm, nothing.

So blame Trump all you want (and he does deserve some, to be sure), or blame Lindsey Graham and his own big mouth (he certainly deserves a share), or blame the public for being poorly-informed and emotionally-motivated (as a whole bunch of them are), but the real problem - and any solution - starts with addressing the corruption of the electoral process.

A Nevada dump of 23,201 came in. 97% reported. Here’s where they went:

Cortex Mastro 17,356
Laxalt 5,845

Now, how does NV elect a new Republican Gov, (a flip) but this Senate seat goes to the Dem?

Take a look at Georgia's races.  Here's the GOP percentage of each race after removing Libertarian votes:

Gov     - 53.8%
Lt. Gov - 52.6%
SoS     - 54.8%
AG      - 52.7%
Walker - 49.5%



First off, there is no way Brad Raffensperger gets a bigger share of the vote than Brian Kemp.  Second of all, there is no way anyone votes a straight GOP ticket except for Warnock.  No one is going to vote for Warnock without voting for Abrams.

Georgia elections are rigged.  The State GOP cut a deal with the Dems that they would give them the US Senate race in exchange for the Statewide positions.

I also found out how they did it.  If there is a problem with any voting machine during the election, the pollworkers have the ability to switch that machine to manual override, allowing a central location to make the correction.  Except that this central control agent now has the ability to make changes to the overall vote count to that machine.

Lt. Gen. McInerney: 330k Votes Were Shifted From Dr. Oz To Fetterman, 36k Shifted From Lake to Hobbs
by Two Mikes   
November 11, 2022

General McInerney said the election was a repeat of 2020 with widespread vote manipulation by the Democrats and their Chinese paymasters. The general pointed especially to Pennsylvania and Arizona, reporting that 330 thousand votes were shifted from Dr. Oz to Fetterman, and in Arizona about 36,000 were shifted from Kari Lake to Hobbs.

This kind of thing, he said, occurred across the country.

General McInerney recommended that all losing Republican candidates who believe they were the victims of cheating should ask for an audit and not a recount. A recount merely counts the paper ballots and that includes the ones that were illicitly moved.

An audit, on the other hand, examines the computers and voting machines that were programmed to do the switching and which will retain an electronic history of the event.

Andy (and others), please take a moment to read this:
(my revised article for a new and revised Constitution, since the old one can no longer protect us or The Republic):
===========================
This Constitution prescribes that only citizens may vote in all elections conducted within the United States. This includes elections for federal offices of The United States, elections for State offices in the Several States, and all municipal and local elections conducted within the borders of The United States.

Elections will be conducted only on Election Day as prescribed by this Constitution.

All ballots in all elections will be paper ballots cast by individual voters at their respective polling locations. Electronic means may be used to tabulate vote counts at the local level.

Provisional ballots of any kind are prohibited by this Constitution.

Ranked Choice Voting of any kind is prohibited by this Constitution.

On Election Day votes will be tabulated immediately after the polls close. Tabulation and counting of votes will proceed continuously until a final tally is reached.

There shall be a demand right of registered voters to witness the tabulation and counting of votes. Any attempt to deny such right will be deemed unconstitutional. This right shall not be modified by any Court of the United States. The Several States may however limit the total number of election observers as is practicable for reasons of safety.

An election shall not be considered to be won unless the winning candidate receives a majority of the votes cast. If no candidate receives a majority, a runoff election must be held within 35 days to determine the winner. This shall not apply to the elections for President and Vice President, which are to be conducted in accordance with the provisions of the Electoral College, as enumerated in this Constitution.

The use of the United States Mail shall not be permitted for the collection of ballots, with the exception of absentee ballots.

There shall be no use of absentee ballots without the presentation of individual need, subject to strict scrutiny by the registrar of voters.

Absentee ballots must be received by the close of voting on Election Day. Any ballots received via mail after the polls close will be immediately destroyed and will not be entered into the voting tabulation.

All citizens of the United States will be required to produce identification before voting.

All citizens of the United States who desire to vote will be required to register at least six months in advance of election day, unless they have previously done so. All citizens requesting registration will be properly vetted by the registrar of voters.

If we actually had free and fair elections in this country, a radical democrat agenda wouldn’t stand a chance at the ballot box.  We are still a largely conservative country and deserve conservative representatives, but will probably never get it until we fix the broken electoral system.

This is why the 2020 election was so important. And why rank and file republicans and conservatives, if they were at all concerned about election integrity, should stand behind Trump and MAGA, who will make election integrity a top priority.

I've been shouting that for a very long time; something needs to be done about election integrity!!

?? I do NOT blame Trump.  The only thing that I find alarming is that he is going after conservative governors.  Since the GOP has lost the Senate our conservative governors are going to hold the very thin line by which this country is hanging.

I DO blame Pence and Pelosi who conveniently orchestrated an insurrection so that a vote count was never allowed to be challenged and opposed. Perhaps that would have made little difference but it would have been recognized.

Most of all I DO blame our current SCOTUS who looked the other way and denied any recourse to the GOP for a stolen election.

Meanwhile, Trump appointed Ronna as RNC chair and as you know she is the niece of Romeny.  The writing was on the wall then. So, find fault with Trump, perhaps but ideally, the state GOP, governors, Senators, Congressmen should have stepped up to the plate to insure ballot integrity  They failed to do so. 

As an example; "Governor Ron DeSantis signed Senate Bill (SB) 524, Election Administration, to ensure that Florida continues to have secure and accurate elections. This legislation will strengthen election security measures by requiring voter rolls to be annually reviewed and updated, strengthening ID requirements, establishing the Office of Election Crimes and Security to investigate election law violations, and increasing penalties for violations of election laws".

So ... what the heck were the rest of the GOP state legislatures doing??

As I have also commented several times, conservatives are NOT going to win from the top down. We are only going to be able to win this battle from the bottom up.

Unfortunately with the DEMS controlling the Senate I am afraid that we are going to see; amnesty, continued indoctrination of are youth, liberal mandates imposed upon us and they will pack the SCOTUS with liberal justices. Roe v. Wade will become permanent and abortions will be commonplace.

The only pushback will come from our conservative governors; DeSantis, Abbott, Noem, Youngkin. I'm sure there are others, but I haven't researched.

God help us and may God have mercy on our Republic!

No.  Currently she is in 2nd place behind Tshibaka.  But now Democrat Chesbro and Republican Kelly voters get to choose which of the two they prefer.  That's about 12.4% of the total vote.

There's a gap of about 3000 votes between Tshibaka and Murkowski.  Tshibaka would need at least 32% of those Democrat voters to win.  But seeing how Murkowski endorsed the Democrat candidate in the House race, i suspect all the Dems will choose her over Tshibaka.

In the days ahead, I implore each of you to scrub the word 'fraud' from your vocabulary.  It is a literary nuance, but one that has far reaching percussions in the legal community.

'Fraud' signifies intent.  And unless intent can be proved, the term 'fraud' will continue to be bounced from every courtroom in America.  Instead, use the word 'illegal'  it will be much easier to bring a case saying the law was not followed than to bring one where the Dems committed election fraud.  Thanks.

Alarms are sounding and red lights are flashing in America, we don’t have time for pretense.  Governor DeSantis is being used by corporate media (read as establishment, swamp, powers that be, whichever you prefer) to fracture the MAGA movement and Trump knows this.

Knocking out a potential contender is never pretty, both sides do it in political contests.  Besides, I don’t think using ‘DeSanctimonious’ constitutes a knockout blow or seems particularly out of bounds based on some of DeSantis’ political ads.

It's not so much of people blaming Trump for what happened, but more of Trump only caring about Trump in the midst of this is happening.

Here's  pointing-up   another idea for a poster to add to your "Stupid Should Hurt" collection.

Trump is the only Republican leader sounding clarion calls for election reforms, citing AZ and NV, and for McConnell's immediate replacement.

Alarms are sounding and red lights are flashing in America, we don’t have time for pretense.  Governor DeSantis is being used by corporate media (read as establishment, swamp, powers that be, whichever you prefer) to fracture the MAGA movement and Trump knows this.

I vehemently disagree.  DeSantis could care less about Trump.


Knocking out a potential contender is never pretty, both sides do it in political contests.

There's only one side here.  Trump, Trump, Trump.



Besides, I don’t think using ‘DeSanctimonious’ constitutes a knockout blow or seems particularly out of bounds based on some of DeSantis’ political ads.

No, it is simply being disrespectful for no reason.  It is petty, mean-spirited conceit.

What could Trump could have done solely on his own to fix the illegal ballots problem in some states?


Regarding elections after he was out of office, realistically probably not much. While in office he could have pushed a whole lot harder at stopping the endless lockdowns that started with him and the excuses that followed for mail in ballots. In short, he could have actually led instead of followed his "experts".

@mystery-ak

I've done a district - county by county turnout review, and drill down ....  this isn't ironclad method but where the votes are outstanding, and % ballot completion should give a fair estimate, of how the race breaks-


The remaining races include:

Alaska's at-large Congressional District: Democratic Rep. Mary Peltola and Republican Sarah Palin. Stupid ranking runoff

Arizona:
AZ-01 with Democrat Jevin Hodge and Republican Rep. David Schweikert. 50.4-49.6

3K votes down with 32 k theo. votes left.  One county only -Maricopa-  Strong advantage Dem.

AZ-06 with Democrat Kirsten Engel and Republican Juan Ciscomani. 50.2-49.8

3/4 of the outstanding vote is in heavily dim leaning Pima County-  I think this one goes to the dems. Advantage Dem



California:
CA-03 with Democrat Kermit Jones and Republican Kevin Kiley. 53.0-47.0

District has several GOP leaning counties that have plenty of cushion. GOP Win

CA-09 with Democrat Rep. Josh Harder and Republican Tom Patti. 56.3-43.7

Overwhelming percentage of voter highly favors the Dems.  Easy hold.  Dem Win

CA-13 with Democrat Adam Gray and Republican John Duarte. 50.1-49.9

Counties slow in counting are significantly Dim in config so far.  Democratic Win


CA-21 with Democrat Rep. Jim Costa and Republican Michael Maher 54.6-45.4

Liberal Fresno undercounted of the two counties.  Dems bigly. Democratic Win


CA-22 with Democrat Rudy Salas and Republican Rep. David Valadao 52.5-47.5

County make up a distribution is a near wash, with slight slight edgeto dims  This one is an utter tossup...   But with near 3K lead in hand?  GOP Win

CA-27 with Democrat Christy Smith and Republican Rep. Mike Garcia 55.4-44.6

Unless there are very dissimilar precints within this district, this one should have been already called. GOP Win

CA-41 with Democrat Will Rollins and Republican Rep. Ken Calvert 50.7-49.3

Another one that will rely on which precint ideology trends-  Razor close, but based on present lead- GOP Win

CA-45 with Democrat Jay Chen and Republican Rep. Michelle Steel 53.8-46.2

Conservative Orange County should prevail- GOP Win

CA-47 with Democrat Rep. Katie Porter and Republican Scott Baugh 51.3-48.7

Nothing to stop the dem loss here.  Dem win
CA-49 with Democrat Rep. Mike Levin and Republican Brian Maryott 52.3-47.7

Big  Lead, Blue district.  Dem Win

.

Colorado:
CO-03 with Democrat Adam Frisch and Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert 50.2-49.8

All the vote is in basically (>99%) This is Boebert unless the dims find out some way to steal, like recount-  GOP Win

CO-08 with Democrat Yadira Caraveo and Republican Barbara Kirkmeyer 48.4-47.7

County votes missing favors the GOP but with a 2k lead, this is going to be razor close.  Coin flip..  Dem Hold

Maine:
ME-02 with Democrat Rep. Jared Golden and Republican Bruce Poliquin 49.2-43.9

2 counties who I have no idea aligns show no votes.  With the big lead otherwise . A no doubter.....   Dem Win

New Mexico:
NM-02 with Democrat Vasquez v. GOP Herrell- 50.3-49.7

Missing counted votes are from heavily blue counties. Easy blue.  Dem win.


New York:
NY-22 with Democrat Francis Conole and Republican Brandon Williams 50.7-49.3

No reason this one should be called.  94%vote in  GOP Win

Oregon:
OR-05 with Democrat Jamie McLeod-Skinner and Republican Lori Chavez-DeRemer 51.1-48.8

Most votes outstanding are from Blue leaning Clackamas, and otherwise slight otherwise edge to the dims  Dems Win

OR-06 with Democrat Andrea Salinas and Republican Mike Erickson 49.7-48.0

Dims have heavy advantage in counties that have reported less.  This lead should widen.  Dems win



Present Count GOP 211 (for over 48 hrs.) Dem. 204


Count based on my analysis and projection

GOP 218 Dem. 217

Absolutely positively 100% false.  Also, it wasn't until after the 2020 election that Trump even noticed State GOP politics.  He was instrumental in destroying local control of State Parties in 2016.  Trump was a great ally for the RNC, perhaps their greatest.


and for McConnell's immediate replacement.

lol, Trump endorsed McConnell twice.  He even saved McConnell from getting primaried in 2014.  In fact, the first time he even mentioned any opposition to McConnell was January 2021, and that is only because it affected Trump, Trump, Trump.  For four years, McConnell was screwing over the entire country, but Trump didn't never once took notice.

Yet now he want's Rick Scott to replace him.  Rick Scott.  RSCC chair Rick Scott.  And the only reason he named Scott was to slight DeSantis.  Not because Scott will stop the Democrats or that Scott did a good job at helping Republicans take control of the Senate (his only job for the last two years).

Has the GOP establishment done enough yet to prove they will happily accept defeat  --- indeed, promote it ---- for the majority of Republican voters to believe it?  The establishment WILL get what it wants, one way or the other.  "Uniparty"  is more than clever, it's reality.

From time to time, a Briefer will post how upset he or she still is over how successful the establishment was in crushing the Tea Party. What does anyone truly think is going on with MAGA?  They will accept total defeat in 2024 if MAGA ends with it.

Any Republican thrown against Trump will be approved by McConnell and Ryan.  The candidate will sign on the dotted line in return for what McConnell/Ryan can provide:  Congressional support, battles defined by and won in the media, and money ---- buckets and buckets of money.

The Repubican candidate given the mantle "can win" against Trump by the GOP establishment will be the surrogate for Mitch McConnell.

We need to stop jumping from emotional cue to emotional cue like trained seals and focus on our actual choice:  Mitch McConnell or Donald Trump.  Assuming R's win in 2024, which of these two do we prefer sits behind the Resolute desk?

And because of the rules changes at the 2016 RNC Convention that Trump delegates pushed through, it is now impossible for any grass roots movement to remove them.  This battle was lost in 2016.  And reappointing Ronna McDaniel as RNC chair for another 4 years certainly didn't help.  Guess who did that?

His signature line from his "reality" TV show was "You're fired!"

If you have to fire that many people, it's time to really take a serious look at your hiring practices. Unfortunately, Trump hired folks who were recommended by the swamp GOPe, and long term staffers who were not about to crap in their mess kits by taking down the swamp.

Considering the Constitution calls for the States to follow the election rules and laws set forth by the several States' legislatures, Trump could have only called for cleaning up that political landscape (by the states themselves), and appointed judges who would enforce the Constitutional constraints that require any changes to come from the legislature, and not some edict by an appointee or executive branch flunky within the State Government. Where the law is breaking down is that changes are made in violation of the Constitution, yet no one is enforcing the Constitution, up to and including SCOTUS in 2020.

No.  Currently she is in 2nd place behind Tshibaka.  But now Democrat Chesbro and Republican Kelly voters get to choose which of the two they prefer.  That's about 12.4% of the total vote.

There's a gap of about 3000 votes between Tshibaka and Murkowski.  Tshibaka would need at least 32% of those Democrat voters to win.  But seeing how Murkowski endorsed the Democrat candidate in the House race, i suspect all the Dems will choose her over Tshibaka.



Thanks, @Hoodat . Although I don't know anything about Tshibaka...I was hoping Murkowski would be able to stay home for a while. I must have read incorrectly.

RCP has called OR-5 for the GOP....  But no one else has.  in my analysis I thought this would break "D". If this is a true call, then number realigns to 219-216 GOP. 

I wonder who runs their electoral desk.  So...too early to celebrate yet, on that seat, but at least one tad of good news to finally get us off that 211 number we have been stuck on for 3 days.

Thanks, @Hoodat . Although I don't know anything about Tshibaka...I was hoping Murkowski would be able to stay home for a while. I must have read incorrectly.

Tshibaka is one of us.

It is difficult to make projections since 20% of the vote is still out.  But this is what we have so far:

Kelly Tshibaka (R)
94,138
44.2%

Lisa Murkowski* (R)
91,205
42.8%

Patricia Chesbro (D)
20,265
9.5%

Buzz Kelley (R)
6,244
2.9%



Let's assume that all of Buzz Kelley's voters are anti-Murkowski and choose Tshibaka as second choice.  Then we have:

Kelly Tshibaka (R)
100,382

Lisa Murkowski* (R)
91,205

Patricia Chesbro (D)
20,265



Murkowski would then need 73% of Chesbro voters to have chosen her as second choice over Tshibaka to win.  The likelihood of that happening is high.

These rules were put in place for one reason and one reason only - to help get Murkowski re-elected.  She has never won a majority of Alaska's vote in any Senate race she has ever run.  But Mitch McConnell likes her so much that he openly violated GOP Party rules to fund her campaign.

Which is true even in the broadest sense.

If we actually had free and fair elections in this country, a radical democrat agenda wouldn’t stand a chance at the ballot box.  We are still a largely conservative country and deserve conservative representatives, but will probably never get it until we fix the broken electoral system.


Which will never, ever happen with a populist movement (Hence Tumpy to blame even in the broadest sense.). The only thing that will fix it is a swelling, ground-up, grassroots movement. For that you need a rank and file, and a long term agenda... Both of which are utterly absent and impossible in populist movements.

Here's Where the House Race Stands With Yet Another GOP Flip
By Nick Arama | 12:30 PM on November 13, 2022

It has seemed that they’re slow-walking the calls for the outstanding races in the House, even when some of them are separated by more than a couple of points. It’s five days after the election and we still don’t know the results for control of the House. I last updated this two days ago. But if there’s anything that needs to be addressed going forward, it’s this concept being pushed that it’s somehow normal to take “days” or even “weeks” to get to a result in the election.

We now have another official call from Decision Desk in the OR-5 race. Republican Lori Chavez-DeRemer defeats Democrat Jamie McLeod-Skinner, 51.4 to 48.86. That’s another Republican flip for the House.

https://twitter.com/DecisionDeskHQ/status/1591818922784952322

According to RealClearPolitics, the current numbers are Republicans, 212 to Democrats, 204. Republicans need 218 for the majority.

These are the races that are still out there to be called. Below, I note if the race has already been called by Decision Desk, it lists the district and then whether the Republican (R) or Democrat (D) is currently leading.

House Races

Alaska
1 D

Arizona
1 D
6 R Ciscomani 51-49 (called by Decision Desk)

California
3 R
9 D
13 R
21 D
22 R
26 D
27 R
34 D
41 R
45 R
47 D
49 D

Colorado
3 R

Maine
2 D

New Mexico
2 D

NY
22 R

OR
6 D

That means that there are still 20 to be decided, with nine of those where the Republicans are leading. Assuming they held all those leads, Republicans would have 221. But for control, they need just six of them.

But if there’s anything that needs to be addressed going forward, it’s this concept being pushed that it’s somehow normal to take “days” or even “weeks” to get to a result in the election.

We now have another official call from Decision Desk in the OR-5 race. Republican Lori Chavez-DeRemer defeats Democrat Jamie McLeod-Skinner, 51.4 to 48.86. That’s another Republican flip for the House.

https://twitter.com/DecisionDeskHQ/status/1591818922784952322

According to RealClearPolitics, the current numbers are Republicans, 212 to Democrats, 204. Republicans need 218 for the majority.

These are the races that are still out there to be called. Below, I note if the race has already been called by Decision Desk, it lists the district and then whether the Republican (R) or Democrat (D) is currently leading.

House Races

Alaska
1 D

Arizona
1 D
6 R Ciscomani 51-49 (called by Decision Desk)

California
3 R
9 D
13 R
21 D
22 R
26 D
27 R
34 D
41 R
45 R
47 D
49 D

Colorado
3 R

Maine
2 D

New Mexico
2 D

NY
22 R

OR
6 D

That means that there are still 20 to be decided, with nine of those where the Republicans are leading. Assuming they held all those leads, Republicans would have 221. But for control, they need just six of them.

That's a +2 from my earlier projection, making it now likely 220- 215.  I am feeling a little better this afternoon about the GOP getting the house.

It’s Mitch McConnell’s fault. Spending money to defeat great Republican candidates instead of backing Blake Masters and others was a big mistake. Giving 4 Trillion Dollars to the Radical Left for the Green New Deal, not Infrastructure, was an even bigger mistake. He blew the Midterms, and everyone despises him and his otherwise lovely wife, Coco Chow!

Ballot harvesting is illegal in Georgia.  And they had a very very strong case against all the Atlanta metro counties in 2020.  But no one went to court to file charges for ballot harvesting.  They went to court for election fraud (with zero evidence of intent).  And that is why the cases got tossed.

THE STEAL: The Number of House Seats Continues to Dwindle As GOP Leaders Remain Silent and Ignore Reality
By Joe Hoft
Published November 13, 2022 at 8:00am

(https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/wp-content/uploads/CNN-Actual-Day-5.jpg)

The race for control of the US House is not over.  It’s not over till the Democrats say it’s over.

The world is watching in amazement as corrupt election officials and politicians across the country can’t seem to finalize the results of an election five days ago.  Texas and Florida can complete their election results a few hours after the election, but other states are days away, if not weeks.

The 2022 Election was supposed to be a route for the GOP.  Biden and his gang of America-destroying communists are understandably not well-liked.  They are even hated for their actions in Afghanistan, with the economy, the Jan 6 communist kangaroo court, and much more.  Most Americans can’t list three things that this administration has done for the good of America.  Many can’t name one thing.

China is very happy with the Biden regime, and so are Soros and Obama.  The destruction of America is near complete.  Free speech and free and fair elections were on the ballot.

On Monday, the night before the election, Real Clear Politics, which leans left because of its use of left-leaning polls, had the GOP winning 227 seats with a good chance at gaining many of the remaining 34 toss-up seats.

NBC News now projects a very narrow GOP win of 219 seats to the Dems 216.

Where is the GOP leadership as the Democrats slowly steal the US House?  Where’s McCarthy?  Where’s McDaniel?  Where was McConnell in the Senate races?

Why are we not hearing GOP leadership standing up for the candidates who are still in the race and for those who had their races stolen with massive ballot drops out of nowhere?

Yes, where are the voices of the GOP as another election is obviously stolen?  Mitch?  McCarthy?  Ronna?

Pelosi would even have you believe that the GOP attack on her husband is why there was low voter turnout and those who voted DEM. Really? 

Just a note; some time ago after the election was stolen from Trump I started a thread in essence Where do We Go From Here? Speaking for myself my health has deteriorated even from then and I feel frustrated because there's not much I can do, other than make phone calls to my GOP Senators both State and Local and certainly that won't get a whole lot accomplished.  I wish I could be actively involved like I was years ago, but that just isn't in the cards.

So, I guess I'll pose the question one more time; Where do we go from here?  Anyone???

Not so here in Georgia.  The State GOP worked hand in hand with the Dems to decide the elections beforehand.  The deal they worked out was that the Dems would trade the US Senate seat for the State Government races.  That's why Stacy Abrams stopped campainging down the stretch and started pulling money out of her campaign.  She also conceded the race very early on election night without putting up a fight or even planning a victory party celebration with her supporters.

And to top it off, the Secretary of State who took money under the table and violated numerous election laws in 2020 just happened to win his election by a wider margin than even the governor.

You want things to change?  Start turning up the heat on Republicans.

How can anyone paying attention to the elections not question and realize that the voting tabulation is extremely, ridiculously slow?

Oregon House seat flips to GOP, which needs six more to capture majority

Republicans on Sunday picked up one of several seats that they’ll need to secure in order to gain a majority in the House of Representatives, which is still not guaranteed five days after the midterm elections were held.

Republican Lori Chavez-DeRemer bested Democrat Jamie McLeod-Skinner to take the House seat in Oregon’s 5th District.

The win gave Republicans 212 seats in the House, still short of a minimum majority of 218 with 19 races that have not been called yet. But Republicans are not home free and still must win most of the races in which they’re leading in order to take control of the House..............

A little too late... holding our elected officials accountable is the obvious, but there are too many RINO's in DC and not enough conservatives running against them and then we have McConnell who sides with incumbents as long as they play his game.  Losing the Senate had a lot to do with McConnell and some of Trump's endorsements didn't help.

Updated 7:30 a.m.

@mystery-ak

I've done a district - county by county turnout review, and drill down ....  this isn't ironclad method but where the votes are outstanding, and % ballot completion should give a fair estimate, of how the race breaks-

Updates in purple- 19 races remain


The remaining races include:

Alaska's at-large Congressional District: Democratic Rep. Mary Peltola and Republican Sarah Palin. Stupid ranking runoff- With ranking, and senatorial race help too, expect this sear to go "D"

Arizona:
AZ-01 with Democrat Jevin Hodge and Republican Rep. David Schweikert. 50.4-49.6

3K votes down with 32 k theo. votes left.  One county only -Maricopa- Strong advantage Dem.

Now 50.1- 49.9.  And race has tightened.  Based on AZ data, there are still about 10K votes left.  So, I have adjusted status to very slight advantage to the democrats.  This still could break "R"

AZ-06 with Democrat Kirsten Engel and Republican Juan Ciscomani. 50.2-49.8

3/4 of the outstanding vote is in heavily dim leaning Pima County-  I think this one goes to the dems. Advantage Dem

Now 50.3- 49.7 for Ciscomani, and now left to 7% of count left.  I am cautiously changing projection of this to "R" with this trend



California:

I don't think the idiotic corrupt state of CA even counted any votes yesterday.  So no status changes at this point

CA-03 with Democrat Kermit Jones and Republican Kevin Kiley. 53.0-47.0

District has several GOP leaning counties that have plenty of cushion. GOP Win


CA-09 with Democrat Rep. Josh Harder and Republican Tom Patti. 56.3-43.7

Overwhelming percentage of voter highly favors the Dems.  Easy hold.  Dem Win

CA-13 with Democrat Adam Gray and Republican John Duarte. 50.1-49.9

Counties slow in counting are significantly Dim in config so far.  Democratic Win


CA-21 with Democrat Rep. Jim Costa and Republican Michael Maher 54.6-45.4

Liberal Fresno undercounted of the two counties.  Dems bigly. Democratic Win


CA-22 with Democrat Rudy Salas and Republican Rep. David Valadao 52.5-47.5

County make up a distribution is a near wash, with slight slight edgeto dims  This one is an utter tossup...   But with near 3K lead in hand?  GOP Win

CA-27 with Democrat Christy Smith and Republican Rep. Mike Garcia 55.4-44.6

Unless there are very dissimilar precints within this district, this one should have been already called. GOP Win

CA-41 with Democrat Will Rollins and Republican Rep. Ken Calvert 50.7-49.3

Another one that will rely on which precint ideology trends-  Razor close, but based on present lead- GOP Win

CA-45 with Democrat Jay Chen and Republican Rep. Michelle Steel 53.8-46.2

Conservative Orange County should prevail- GOP Win

CA-47 with Democrat Rep. Katie Porter and Republican Scott Baugh 51.3-48.7

Nothing to stop the dem loss here.  Dem win
CA-49 with Democrat Rep. Mike Levin and Republican Brian Maryott 52.3-47.7

Big  Lead, Blue district.  Dem Win

.

Colorado:
CO-03 with Democrat Adam Frisch and Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert 50.2-49.8

All the vote is in basically (>99%) This is Boebert unless the dims find out some way to steal, like recount-  GOP Win

No change in the vote totals, Maybe CO is looking for a cheat, so my it hasn't been called.


CO-08 with Democrat Yadira Caraveo and Republican Barbara Kirkmeyer 48.4-47.7

County votes missing favors the GOP but with a 2k lead, this is going to be razor close. Coin flip..  Dem Hold

No change

Maine:
ME-02 with Democrat Rep. Jared Golden and Republican Bruce Poliquin 49.2-43.9

2 counties who I have no idea aligns show no votes.  With the big lead otherwise . A no doubter.....   Dem Win

No change

New Mexico:
NM-02 with Democrat Vasquez v. GOP Herrell- 50.3-49.7

Missing counted votes are from heavily blue counties. Easy blue.  Dem win.

No change


New York:
NY-22 with Democrat Francis Conole and Republican Brandon Williams 50.7-49.3

No reason this one should be called.  94%vote in GOP Win

50.7-49.2  No change

Oregon:
OR-05 with Democrat Jamie McLeod-Skinner and Republican Lori Chavez-DeRemer 51.1-48.8

Most votes outstanding are from Blue leaning Clackamas, and otherwise slight otherwise edge to the dims Dems Win

Just Called for Skinner...   Dem Win.

OR-06 with Democrat Andrea Salinas and Republican Mike Erickson 49.7-48.0

Dims have heavy advantage in counties that have reported less.  This lead should widen. Dems win



Present Count GOP 212 Dem. 204





Count based on my analysis and projection

GOP 221 Dem. 214

Republicans Mercifully, Finally Get Some Good News Regarding the 2022 Election
By Bonchie | 8:00 AM on November 14, 2022

With the Senate officially back in Democratic Party hands and major governorships lost, Republicans could use some good news. The election has been an unmitigated disaster, with one of the best electoral environments in decades being blown in spectacular fashion.

But, while dooming is more than warranted, I can finally bring some merciful good news regarding the House of Representatives. Nothing is official yet, but three major signs on Sunday evening, including a call after a ballot dump in Arizona, appear to make a GOP victory in the House inevitable.

https://twitter.com/DecisionDeskHQ/status/1591989978170593283

https://twitter.com/DecisionDeskHQ/status/1591818922784952322

https://twitter.com/Redistrict/status/1591953036813144065

The three seats mentioned above were absolutely crucial for Democrat chances of retaining the House. That Oregon seat was actually further up the firewall, and probably alone seals the deal. Juan Ciscomani’s comeback in Arizona only pads what will likely be a GOP seat total of 220-221.

So why is it not official? In short, California is going to take weeks to finish counting its votes (because, of course). Yet, most of the contested seats are being led by Republicans in areas that favor them. Mike Garcia in CA27, for example, has already declared victory and his opponent has basically conceded (in a long, whiney Twitter thread), yet it hasn’t been “called” yet. There are several more races of that flavor going on out there.

Maricopa County Election Judge Believes the Machines Were Programmed to Reject Ballots on Election Day
By Jim Hoft
Published November 13, 2022 at 6:45pm

Michele Swinick was an election judge in Maricopa County on election day last week. Following the election Michele stepped forward to discuss what she experienced in Maricopa County on Election Day.

Michele worked at a center in a heavily Republican district. According to Michele, the tabulators worked perfectly well the night before the election. Then on Election Day they quit working. Only 1 in 10 ballots were accepted through the tabulators. The officials were told to put the defective ballots into a different section called “Door 3.”

Michele believes this was all planned. The election officials knew that republicans were going to come out in force on election day as they did in the primary. This was a planned operation.

But I think Lake has a little more consequence than not, considering that she has pledged to clean up the AZ election process.

Lauren Boebert in Danger as Thousands of Votes for Opponent Could be Fixed
By Giulia Carbonaro On 11/14/22 at 11:05 AM EST

The race for Colorado's third congressional district remains too close to be called, as Trump-endorsed Rep. Lauren Boebert is currently only slightly ahead of her rival, Democrat Adam Frisch.

But the incumbent congresswoman's narrow lead could once again be overturned if thousands of likely rejected votes in favor of her challenger were to be fixed, as a recount looms over the Colorado race.

Boebert was widely projected to win the midterms, with polling website FiveThirtyEight giving her a 97 in 100 chance of victory in the days ahead of the vote.

As of November 14 and with nearly all of the ballots being counted, Boebert is leading with 50.1 percent of the vote (162,040 votes) against Frisch's 49.8 percent (160,918 votes).

What Luck!… Colorado Democrats Find Several Thousand More Ballots for Lauren Boebert’s Opponent

If they can’t cheat, they can’t win.

Pro-Trump Republican Lauren Boebert is currently leading in her race against far left Democrat Adam Frisch in rural Colorado.

Boebert currently leads the race by 1,ooo votes and 0.4%.

Boebert has been leading the race for several days now.

Her opponent is a sleazebag who was caught having an affair in a storage locker in the district.

-But guess what just happened?

Democrats have found several thousand potential Democrat votes to be counted!  What luck!

Newsweek reported without the slightest bit of irony.

    The race for Colorado’s third congressional district remains too close to be called, as Trump-endorsed Rep. Lauren Boebert is currently only slightly ahead of her rival, Democrat Adam Frisch.

You are correct. The DEMS will do whatever they need to do in order to retain power.  Never in my life did I think we'd see stolen elections nor did I ever think that SCOTUS would just look the other way. I was foolish to think that we had a conservative majority in the SCOTUS.  Now it looks like the DEMS are getting away with stealing another election.  By the time '24 rolls around I think we can pretty much assume that the landscape and laws of our country will have been changed so much that that GOP just won't have a chance of holding or capturing any seat.

Where do we go from here??? Anyone??

I’ve looked and relooked at all the election data. Independents and 13% of the GOP are begging the GOP to just give them non-crazy candidates. They even like Trump's policies.  They just want those without Trump and the crazy. They'd rather a status quo they hate than risk crazy.

What Luck!… Colorado Democrats Find Several Thousand More Ballots for Lauren Boebert’s Opponent
By Jim Hoft
Published November 14, 2022 at 2:00pm

If they can’t cheat, they can’t win.

(https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/wp-content/uploads/boebert-colorado-steal-.jpg)

Pro-Trump Republican Lauren Boebert is currently leading in her race against far left Democrat Adam Frisch in rural Colorado.

Boebert currently leads the race by 1,ooo votes and 0.4%.

Boebert has been leading the race for several days now.

Her opponent is a sleazebag who was caught having an affair in a storage locker in the district.

-But guess what just happened?

Democrats have found several thousand potential Democrat votes to be counted!  What luck!

Newsweek reported without the slightest bit of irony.

    The race for Colorado’s third congressional district remains too close to be called, as Trump-endorsed Rep. Lauren Boebert is currently only slightly ahead of her rival, Democrat Adam Frisch.

    But the incumbent congresswoman’s narrow lead could once again be overturned if thousands of likely rejected votes in favor of her challenger were to be fixed, as a recount looms over the Colorado race.

    Boebert was widely projected to win the midterms, with polling website FiveThirtyEight giving her a 97 in 100 chance of victory in the days ahead of the vote.

    As of November 14 and with nearly all of the ballots being counted, Boebert is leading with 50.1 percent of the vote (162,040 votes) against Frisch’s 49.8 percent (160,918 votes).

BALANCE OF POWER: Where do the uncalled House races stand as GOP nears majority?
19 congressional races remain uncalled with control of the House hanging in the balance

By Brandon Gillespie | Fox News

As Republicans inch closer to capturing a majority of seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, there are still 19 races yet to be called that will determine how close the margins could be for the party should it ultimately prevail.

A party must win 218 seats to win a majority in the 435-seat body, a feat appearing to be within the grasp of the GOP, who have won 212 seats so far to Democrats' 204.

Here is where the remaining races stand as votes continue to be counted in states across the country:

AK-AL - Alaska's At Large Congressional District has been rated by Fox News' Power Rankings as "lean Democratic" due to the state's newly implemented ranked-choice voting system giving incumbent Democrat Rep. Mary Peltola an advantage against her Republican opponents, former Gov. Sarah Palin and Nick Begich. Peltola lead in the first round of the vote, with Palin in second and Begich in third, but failed to secure 50%, meaning those who voted for the candidate with the least number of votes will have their second choice vote reallocated to the other candidates until one reaches 50%. The second round tabulation is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, Nov. 23.

ME-02 - Maine similarly implemented a ranked-choice voting system following a state-wide referendum in 2016. Incumbent Democratic Rep. Jared Golden failed to reach 50% of the vote last week, but is currently leading former Republican Congressman Bruce Poliquin, who represented the district from 2015 to 2019. The second round tabulation is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 15. Fox News' Power Rankings has rated the race as a toss-up.

AZ-01 - Incumbent Republican Rep. David Schweikert is narrowly leading his opponent, Democrat Jevin Hodge, by less than 1,000 votes in this "lean Republican" seat. Mail-ballots had to be received by election officials no later than 7:00 p.m. local time on Election Night, however, all ballots must go through a signature verification process before being counted. The verification and counting process is still ongoing.

AZ-06 - Republican Juan Ciscomani currently holds a lead of less than 2,000 votes over Democrat Kirsten Engel. Much like the 1st district, all mail-in ballots needed to arrive no later than 7:00 p.m. local time on Election Night and must go through a signature verification process before being counted. The verification and counting process is still ongoing. Fox News' Power Rankings has rated the race as "lean Republican."


CA-03 - Republican Kevin Kiley holds a commanding lead over Democrat Kermit Jones; however, approximately only a little over half of ballots have been counted in the "likely Republican" race. California accepts mail-ballots for the week following Election Day, although the ballots must be postmarked by Election Day. Similar to Arizona, California ballots also must go through a signature verification process before being counted.

CA-06 - Incumbent Democratic Rep. Ami Bera is leading Republican challenger Tamika Hamilton in this safe Democratic seat.

CA-09 - Incumbent Democratic Rep. Josh Harder holds a large lead over Republican challenger Tom Patti in this "lean Democratic" seat.

CA-13 - This toss-up race is among the tightest remaining as Republican John Duarte narrowly leads Democrat Adam Gray by less than 90 votes.

CA-21 - This safe Democratic seat is still yet to be called due to the ongoing vote count; however, incumbent Democratic Rep. Jim Costa leads Republican challenger Michael Maher by more than 7,000 votes.

CA-22 - In another tight race, incumbent Republican Rep. David Valadao leads Democratic challenger Rudy Salas by nearly 3,000 votes. Fox News' Power rankings has rated the race as a toss-up.

CA-27 - Incumbent Republican Rep. Mike Garcia holds a commanding lead over Democratic challenger Christy Smith by nearly 15,000 votes in the "lean Republican" seat.


CA-34 - This safe Democratic seat is a tight race between two Democrats, incumbent Rep. Jimmy Gomez and David Kim.

CA-41 - Incumbent Republican Rep. Kevin Calvert holds a narrow lead over Democratic challenger Will Rollins in this "likely Republican" seat. Calvert leads with just over 4,000 votes.

CA-45 - In another "lean Republican" race, incumbent GOP Rep. Michelle Steel leads Democratic challenger Jay Chen by more than 12,000 votes.

CA-47 - Incumbent Democratic Rep. Katie Porter leads Republican challenger Scott Baugh by more than 5,000 votes in this toss-up race.

CA-49 - This toss-up race currently has incumbent Democratic Rep. Mike Levin leading Republican challenger Brian Maryott by nearly 13,000 votes.

Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-CO, attends a House Second Amendment Caucus press conference at the U.S. Capitol on June 08, 2022 in Washington, D.C.

CO-03 - Incumbent Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert was not expected to have such a close race with her Democratic opponent, Adam Frisch, in the "likely Republican" seat, however, the one-term Congresswoman is narrowly leading the vote count by a little more than 1,000 votes. Mail-in ballots can arrive as late as Wednesday as long as they were postmarked by Election Day, meaning the count could continue into later this week.

CO-08 - Democratic candidate Yadira Caraveo narrowly leads Republican candidate Barbara Kirkmeyer in this "lean Republican" race, but, like the 3rd district race, mail-in ballots can arrive as late as Wednesday as long as they were postmarked by Election Day.

NY-22 - This "lean Republican" race is still waiting on a number of mail-in and affidavit ballots cast on Election Day to be verified and counted. Republican Brandon Williams narrowly leads Democrat Francis Conole by just under 4,000 votes.

OR-06 - Democrat Andrea Salinas currently leads Republican Mike Erickson by more than 4,000 votes. Mail-in ballots are still being accepted and counted as long as they were postmarked by Election Day. Oregon conducts its elections primarily by mail. Fox News' Power Rankings has rated the race a toss-up.

I norrmally don't take polls too seriously, but the consistent 5% margin polling, plus what was supposed very favorable exit polling, casts a very serious doubt around the validity of a Hobbs win.  Then add the fact of the Wolf in the Henhouse syndrome when a sitting State Secretary of State adminsiters said election?

3rdly, there have been numerous very specifically targeted GOP areas where voters had to wait half a day to vote, due to mistakes and malfunctions.

I'd say Hobb's steal is not only plausible, but very likely.

CO-08 - Democratic candidate Yadira Caraveo narrowly leads Republican candidate Barbara Kirkmeyer in this "lean Republican" race, but, like the 3rd District race, mail-in ballots can arrive from overseas or out of state as late as Wednesday if they were postmarked by Election Day.

CA-09 - Incumbent Democratic Rep. Josh Harder holds a large lead over Republican challenger Tom Patti in this "lean Democratic" seat.

We're not going to lose all 13 remaining races, so I think we can cautiously breathe a sigh of relief.

From what I am reading, the blue state races have significant systems in place like late ballot collection/counting, and general ballot harvesting that might temper additonal gains.  Yesterday, I thought the final number would be 220-223.  Today I am thinking 219 or 220.

Not Ariz-over yet: Kari Lake defeat might not be final for days to come
by Asher Notheis, Breaking News Reporter |
November 15, 2022 09:56 AM

The Arizona gubernatorial election may have been called on Monday night, but Democratic candidate Katie Hobbs's victory may not be set in stone for another few weeks.

The race for governor in Arizona was close for days between Hobbs and Republican candidate Kari Lake ahead of Monday's declaration, with a recount possible within the next few days. A new state law allows a recount to be made in an election if votes are separated by 0.5 percentage points, widening the possibility of a recount from the previous distance of 0.1 percentage points, according to AZ Family.

“If it’s around 10,000 votes, certainly a recount probably won’t result in a change, but if your race is decided by single digits, like mine was, then, of course, you want it to be recounted,” said Christine Jones, a former congressional candidate.  ...

Wouldn't post-canvasing (Hobbs cheating) basically recount the same "cheated, stolen, and supressed" votes?

Without some forensic induced adjustments, I am guessing this exercise is moot.

IT BEGINS: Patriots in Arizona Call for a New Legitimate Midterm Election on December 6
By Joe Hoft
Published November 15, 2022 at 8:15am

The Arizona election is a total mess.  It’s full of corruption in almost every area.  It is uncertifiable as a result.  A new free and fair election is demanded.

Secretary of State Katie Hobbs should have recused herself due to her running for governor in this election but her conflict of interest was ignored.

The same people involved in the uncertifiable 2020 Election were also involved in this election.  They too should have been removed.

The systems are the same systems with still unanswered questions from the 2020 Election.

As a result a group of citizens in Arizona released a statement last night calling for a new election.  They request that this election in the state be held on December 6.

WTF...how stupid is this..R's don't deserve to win anything!


Establishment Republicans Consider Working with Democrats to Pick House Speaker

While the Republican Party will vote on a nominee for House Speaker on Tuesday for the projected GOP-led Congress next year, some establishment Republicans are considering working with House Democrats to select a Speaker.

excerpt:
Quote
However, not all House Republicans are on board with McCarthy as Speaker, and some have flirted with the idea of working with Democrats to get a more moderate Republican as Speaker.

Although the GOP has not officially clinched the majority, they are expected to regain the majority by a slim 219-216 margin, meaning only a handful of Republicans could railroad McCarthy’s Speaker candidacy, as he would need at least 218 votes to secure the position.

For example, Republican Rep. Don Bacon (R-NB) told NBC News on Monday he would be willing to work with Democrats to select a Speaker if the Republican Party does not rally behind one candidate during Tuesday’s vote.

“I will support Kevin McCarthy, but if we do get to that point, I do want the country to work and we need to govern. We can’t sit neutral; we can’t have total gridlock for two years,” Bacon told NBC.

However, he did not rule out working with the Democrats to select a Speaker.

That's it, I'm going @roamer_1.  I cannot fight for the GOP anymore. Mrs. Liberty and I are letting our terms as Executives expire in January.

And I can't see voting for Donald Trump again.

Hey cry babies!

They are still counting votes in Orange County, California, and Republicans are pulling ahead.

Why?

Because ballot harvesting was done by Republicans.

Sorry no one told you to do this elsewhere.

Except me in 2018 but who is keeping track?

A core societal dilemma posed by ballot harvesting is that elections will increasingly be decided by the least engaged and least interested voters. For example, the Election Day votes of parents enraged by Dems pushing pornography at school are easily negated by 1 good harvester.

I think this is true, but I wonder how that will play out in a quick turn-around run-off in Georgia? 
Warnock is obviously going to win ... or maybe "win"? ... but do they already have contingencies in place for those LIVs?  (Beyond the lawsuit they've filed to allow early voting, of course.)

House Republicans on Tuesday elected National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) Chairman Tom Emmer (R-MN) to be the next House Republican Whip.

Mike Garcia Beats Christy Smith for the Third Time in the CA-27 Race
By Jennifer Oliver O'Connell | 10:00 PM on November 15, 2022

Third time’s a charm for Rep. Mike Garcia (R-CA27); not so much for former Assemblywoman and perpetual politician Christy Smith. The congressional incumbent has won his race 54 percent to 45 percent. This is a resounding victory for Garcia, and another embarrassing defeat for Smith.

While Decision Desk HQ called the race on Tuesday evening (November 15th), with a sizeable lead after the polls closed on November 8, Garcia declared victory in a tweet on November 9.

Either Garcia knew something others did not, or he simply was tweaking his opponent, who tweaks quite easily. Smith responded in a long, rambling tweet thread where, while not conceding the race, she acknowledged that margins had narrowed significantly enough that when all the votes were finally counted, Garcia would still hold his seat. Now it is a declaration fulfilled. Garcia’s win brings the GOP House Majority to 219 seats.

I was just listening to Glenn Beck.  He was interviewing one of the GOP Reps who voted against McCarthy.  Didn't catch the Rep's name.  But he said that it is highly unlikely that McCarthy becomes Speaker, since that will require 218 votes.  With 38 Republicans (around 18%) opposed, they will have to find someone else who can garner full support.

Of course McCarthy could cut a deal with the Dems to get their votes before the full House.  But let's hope it doesn't come to that.  Ideally, McCarthy would have a Mount Sinai moment and transform into someone willing to fight Democrats instead of compromising with them.  We'll see what happens.  But if it comes down to a 218-217 split, then the Democrats along with one Republican choose the next Speaker.

Democrat Overturns Republican Victory in House Seat After Recount - Wins by 1 Vote

By Jack Davis  November 15, 2022 at 4:34

The power given to every American voter was displayed in New Hampshire on Monday with a recount showing the candidate who trailed on Election Day winning her state House seat by one vote.

Before Monday’s recount, Republican Larry Gagne led Democrat Maxine Mosley by 23 votes. The recount gave the race to Mosley, 1,799 to  1,798, according to Newsweek.

“I will say strongly that this race clearly affirms that each-and-every vote does count and that our obligation to vote is foundational for our democracy,” Mosley said.

https://twitter.com/baseballot/status/1592264187799080960

Gagne had a different perspective.

“It’s very unusual, especially in Manchester with the machines we have to make up 24 votes, we were winning by 23. I don’t know what happened,” he said, according to ManchesterInkLink.

Gagne indicated he was not inclined to take the issue to the state’s Ballot Law Commission, according to the Manchester Union-Leader.

“It’s God’s will, that’s my current thinking,” Gagne said during a brief interview.

Will Infantine, a Republican who won the other state House seat from Hillsborough 16, said he thought the appeal should be made, noting that both Republican candidates lost the same number of votes in the recount.

“Clearly, there’s something wrong here. We just don’t magically both lose 22 votes like that,” Infantine said.

Exactly 22 votes in two separate races.

Of 11 remaining races here are the ones that are plausibly un-loseable for the GOP minus stealing and Monkey Business

(1) CA 3-  53-47%, with 56% in for Kiley (GOP)

Most populus county (Placer) is (1) least count (42%), and (2)has broke significantly for the GOP 56%-44%  There is no reason on earth not to call this race for the GOP.

(2) CA 27- 54-46%, with 72% counted. Def. advantage to garcia (GOP) 

Dim candiate will have to win >60% of remaining vote to pull this one out.

(3) CO- 3.  50.2-49.8%

All the vote is in....  Call it for Boebert for goodness sake.

CA-47 is still in play.  This is Orange County, and if conservative precints are under-reported at this point, this race might flip.

However, I do think in the long term it suppresses turnout.

Election counts should be 96 hours max. Less than .5% difference automatic recount. Paper ballots.

The Democrats are still counting votes.  I wouldn't make any assumptions on there being a GOP majority in the House.  And even if the Dems end up with only 217 seats, they only need to convince one GOP member to be their next Speaker.

The Democrats are still counting votes.  I wouldn't make any assumptions on there being a GOP majority in the House.  And even if the Dems end up with only 217 seats, they only need to convince one GOP member to be their next Speaker.

Gottcha.  As I presumed the DEMS are not going to give up their control and power.

OK @mystery-ak @Hoodat  I am confused. I'm just turning on the computer and noticed that FOX is saying that the Republicans are one seat away from the majority?  I thought yesterday that it was announced that the Republicans had taken control of the House.

I read some of the posts and I am still confused.  What the heck happened now??
@libertybele

The reason for the confusion is that Decision Desk (and Townhall, reporting from the same source) called CA-3 for the Republicans.

That was yesterday, and to the moment, no one else is willing to do the same.

The current vote totals, from Real Clear Politics looks like this:
CA District 3 (https://www.realclearpolitics.com/elections/live_results/2022/state/ca/house/)Jones (D) 47.2Kiley (R) 52.8    (56% Reporting)

Decision Desk has also called this race:

CA-22
Last updated:11/16/2022, 1:46:05 PM

David Valadao (R)  52.43%
Rudy Salas     (D)  47.57%

But no one else has done so.

Where do the uncalled House races stand as GOP nears majority?
Nine congressional races remain uncalled with control of the House hanging in the balance

AK-AL - Alaska's At Large Congressional District has been rated by Fox News' Power Rankings as "lean Democratic" due to the state's newly implemented ranked-choice voting system giving incumbent Democrat Rep. Mary Peltola an advantage against her Republican opponents, former Gov. Sarah Palin and Nick Begich. Peltola led in the first round of the vote, with Palin in second and Begich in third, but failed to secure 50%, meaning those who voted for the candidate with the least number of votes will have their second choice vote reallocated to the other candidates until one reaches 50%. The second round tabulation is scheduled to take place Wednesday, Nov. 23.

ME-02 - Maine similarly implemented a ranked-choice voting system following a state-wide referendum in 2016. Incumbent Democratic Rep. Jared Golden failed to reach 50% of the vote last week, but is currently leading former Republican Congressman Bruce Poliquin, who represented the district from 2015 to 2019. The second round tabulation is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 15. Fox News' Power Rankings has rated the race as a toss-up.

CA-03 - Republican Kevin Kiley holds a commanding lead over Democrat Kermit Jones; however, approximately only a little over half of ballots have been counted in the "likely Republican" race. California accepts mail-ballots for the week following Election Day, although the ballots must be postmarked by Election Day. The ballots must also go through a signature verification process before being counted.

CA-13 - This toss-up race is among the tightest remaining as Republican John Duarte narrowly leads Democrat Adam Gray by less than 800 votes.

CA-22 - In another tight race, incumbent Republican Rep. David Valadao leads Democratic challenger Rudy Salas by more than 3,000 votes. Fox News' Power rankings has rated the race as a toss-up.

CA-27 - Incumbent Republican Rep. Mike Garcia holds a commanding lead over Democratic challenger Christy Smith by a little more than 13,000 votes in the "lean Republican" seat.

CA-47 - Incumbent Democratic Rep. Katie Porter leads Republican challenger Scott Baugh by less than 3,000 votes in this toss-up race.

CA-49 - This toss-up race currently has incumbent Democratic Rep. Mike Levin leading Republican challenger Brian Maryott by a little more than 13,000 votes.

CO-03 - Incumbent Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert was not expected to have such a close race with her Democratic opponent, Adam Frisch, in the "likely Republican" seat. However, the one-term congresswoman is narrowly leading the vote count by a little more than 1,000 votes. Mail-in ballots from out of state and overseas military service members can arrive as late as Wednesday as long as they were postmarked by Election Day, meaning the count could continue into later this week.

Mike Garcia Beats Christy Smith for the Third Time in the CA-27 Race
By Jennifer Oliver O'Connell | 10:00 PM on November 15, 2022

Third time’s a charm for Rep. Mike Garcia (R-CA27); not so much for former Assemblywoman and perpetual politician Christy Smith. The congressional incumbent has won his race 54 percent to 45 percent. This is a resounding victory for Garcia, and another embarrassing defeat for Smith.

While Decision Desk HQ called the race on Tuesday evening (November 15th), with a sizeable lead after the polls closed on November 8, Garcia declared victory in a tweet on November 9.

Either Garcia knew something others did not, or he simply was tweaking his opponent, who tweaks quite easily. Smith responded in a long, rambling tweet thread where, while not conceding the race, she acknowledged that margins had narrowed significantly enough that when all the votes were finally counted, Garcia would still hold his seat. Now it is a declaration fulfilled. Garcia’s win brings the GOP House Majority to 219 seats.

They'll give up the Speaker position as long as the 'right' Republican fills it.  Like McCarthy, for example.  One thing is for sure.  If Marjorie Taylor Greene had come out the winner in that GOP Speaker vote, you can bet fo' true that no one would be calling any of these last elections for the GOP candidate.

 Adam Frisch in Washington for new-member orientation

by: Lanie Lee Cook   

Posted: Nov 15, 2022 / 05:55 PM MST   

DENVER (KDVR) — The race between Lauren Boebert and Adam Frisch is still undecided, but preparations for the next meeting of Congress must go on.

That’s why Frisch is in Washington for new-member orientation, even as he trails his incumbent opponent by 1,122 votes. Newly elected lawmakers arrived for orientation on Monday, including the handful of candidates who remain in undecided races.

“It is in the best interest of the district for me to attend new member orientation given the closeness of this race, which could be unsettled for another month,” Frisch said in a statement.

Frisch said that congressional candidates in close races show up for new-member orientation every election cycle, “and the invite list and process is run by non-partisan House administration.”
Thousands of votes still uncounted in CO-3 race

Frisch, a Democrat and former Aspen city council member, had a strong showing in the race, leading Boebert by thousands of votes on election night. Once Boebert took the lead on Thursday, her advantage grew from just dozens of votes at one point to hundreds as counts trickled in.

Frisch said 3,000-6,000 ballots — cured, overseas and others — are still outstanding in the 3rd District race. Ballots from overseas voters, which had to be postmarked by Nov. 8, are due by Wednesday. Then, the next state-mandated reporting update is on Friday.

The district leans Republican. Voters there have not sent a Democrat to Congress since 2008.

Why Is it Taking So Long for California to Count Ballots? And What's the Deal With Ballot Harvesting?
By Jennifer Van Laar | 2:00 PM on November 16, 2022

As regular readers know, I have an illogical love for my home state of California, and despite the loud and persistent calls from many conservatives to abandon it, I steadfastly refuse. Still, I am not under any delusions about the efficacy of our government or the sensibility of our laws – and they tend to get more stupid as the years go by.

Right now, the country’s waiting for California to finish counting ballots from an election held over a week ago, and House races called just last night determined GOP control. Why is it taking so long? What’s with this ballot harvesting thing? Does it mean just going door-to-door and asking for ballots from unsuspecting, low-information voters? And what does it mean to “cure” a ballot?

Believe it or not, California’s election process wasn’t always so lengthy or chaotic. How did we get here? In 2016 a trio of bills were passed that, together, significantly changed how California’s election process works:

    SB 450, Voter’s Choice Act
        required mail ballots to be sent to all voters in a participating county
        required elections officials to forward ballots they receive from voters in other counties to the appropriate county
        eliminated precinct-based polling places in favor of county-wide “vote centers” and 10 days of early in-person voting
    AB 1921, legalized ballot harvesting statewide
        Allows any person a voter designates to return their ballot for them
        Ballot harvester can hold a ballot for up to 72 hours before delivering it to elections officials
        No training or accreditation required; no registry of ballot harvesters or chain of custody
        Harvester is supposed to sign their name on the ballot, but ballot will be counted even if the harvester’s signature is missing
    AB 1461, Motor Voter Act – automatically registers people to vote when they interact with the DMV unless they opt out

If the Dems can turn one Republican, then they will do everything possible to keep the GOP at 218 seats.  Find the most liberal Republican in the House, and that person (along with 217 Democrat votes) could be your next House Speaker.

Alaska Update: Kelly Tshibaka Maintains Narrow Lead over Sen. Murkowski in First Round, Sarah Palin Trails Democrat

Jordan Dixon-Hamilton 16 Nov 2022

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) is cutting into her Republican opponent Kelly Tshibaka’s lead in the Alaska senate race, and Republican Sarah Palin trails Democrat Rep. Mary Peltola in the race for Alaska’s lone congressional seat, according to Alaska’s latest vote count update.

Tshibaka, who earned an endorsement from former President Donald Trump, has a narrow lead over pro-impeachment Sen. Murkowski. After roughly 27,000 more votes were counted on Tuesday, Tshibaka’s lead was cut from 3,000 to 565.

Tshibaka and Murkowski both have approximately 43 percent of the vote. Under Alaska’s new ranked-choice voting system, voters’ second and third choices will be tabulated if neither candidate earns more than 50 percent of the vote.

As Breitbart News explained:

    All candidates from all parties appear on the ballot together in the August primary. The top four vote-getters regardless of party then advance to the general election, and their voters are given the opportunity to pick their top choice, as well as their second and third choices. If no candidate in the first round of voters’ first choices gets 50 percent of the vote, the last place candidate’s second choices are distributed across the remaining three candidates to see if someone can get across the majority threshold. If that fails again to produce a majority vote-getter, then a third round is conducted where the third place candidate’s votes are redistributed according to second choices between the remaining two candidates.

I have said the absence of aggressive changes to election laws which enabled the Steal has not happened because the  GOPe or elements thereof find it handy to take out 'noisome' elements within the GOP, no matter how popular.

It’s the chicken and the egg dilemma.  In regards to election reform which must come first?  My answer, winning (rigged) elections—by any means necessary.  Then, legislatively unrigging them.

From what I understand that with the ranking garbage to determine winner, it is almost a certainty that all the dim candidate's "2nd choice" votes will go to Murkowski.  This race was decided months ago.

That's what I don't understand @aligncare -- ultimately it is up to the State's to implement election reform, I get that, but also each state has to abide by federal law.  At least that is how it has been explained to me. So you would think that our GOP Senators and Congressmen would be 'encouraging' a change in election laws and 'encourage' the States to do something along with the RNC.  You would think that the GOP governors would get up off their butts. 

Then there needs to be something in place to ensure that the Supervisor of Elections follow the rules.  Conservative precinct captains and poll watchers are needed with a way to report fraud.

Secondly, we need to get back to voting on Election Day only. No early voting or mail in ballots.

One of the big mistakes Trump and others was to scream voter fraud without smoking gun evidence. We didn't because of the lack of transparency and oversight, among other things. It was too frontal attack, and without it the woke Left could shout us down.

Not that there wasn't plenty of evidence of malfeasance, at least bits and pieces. Rather than take a hard absolute position, we should have used more subterfuge and simply cast doubt on the veracity of Biden and Dem wins. There was plenty to do that.

We should take that stance going forward. Question, question, question, till the Dems admit there were problems, then demand the Dems not obstruct the process.

Start on the blatant problems: transparency and oversight, then plug the holes, starting with the counting.

Lake refuses to concede in Arizona governor’s race she lost
By JONATHAN J. COOPER

PHOENIX (AP) — Refusing to concede, Kari Lake, the defeated Republican candidate for Arizona governor, said Thursday she is assembling lawyers and collecting evidence of voters having trouble casting ballots on Election Day as she considers her next move.

Lake, in a 2 1/2-minute video, made no mention of giving up in her most extensive public comments since losing the election. Before the election, she had refused to say that she would concede if she lost the race to Democrat Katie Hobbs.

“Rest assured I have assembled the best and brightest legal team, and we are exploring every avenue to correct the many wrongs that have been done this past week,” Lake said. “I’m doing everything in my power to right these wrongs.”

She pointed to long lines at some polling places that were exacerbated by problems with ballot printers at about a third of the vote centers in Maricopa County, the largest county in the state. She said the problems disenfranchised voters who couldn’t wait at the polls.

“What happened to Arizonans on Election Day is unforgivable,” she said.

Boebert's Dem opponent:


Adam Frisch in Washington for new-member orientation

Lanie Lee Cook  |  Nov 15, 2022  |  05:55 PM MST


DENVER (KDVR) — The race between Lauren Boebert and Adam Frisch is still undecided, but preparations for the next meeting of Congress must go on.

That’s why Frisch is in Washington for new-member orientation, even as he trails his incumbent opponent by 1,122 votes. Newly elected lawmakers arrived for orientation on Monday, including the handful of candidates who remain in undecided races.

“It is in the best interest of the district for me to attend new member orientation given the closeness of this race, which could be unsettled for another month,” Frisch said in a statement.

Frisch said that congressional candidates in close races show up for new-member orientation every election cycle, “and the invite list and process is run by non-partisan House administration.”

Thousands of votes still uncounted in CO-3 race

Frisch said 3,000-6,000 ballots — cured, overseas and others — are still outstanding in the 3rd District race. Ballots from overseas voters, which had to be postmarked by Nov. 8, are due by Wednesday. Then, the next state-mandated reporting update is on Friday.

The district leans Republican. Voters there have not sent a Democrat to Congress since 2008.  .  .  .

774 more ballots.  Frisch picked up 54% of them.  Boebert's lead down to 557.

From their announcement at the beginning of the day, there should be less than 1,200 ballots remaining.  Frisch would have to get 73% of those to pull ahead.  I suspect they will 'discover' they have more than 1,200 remaining.

Big Update in Lauren Boebert's Race After the Democrat Gains More Votes
By Bonchie | 6:45 PM on November 17, 2022

Apparently, counting votes in Colorado’s 3rd district is a monumental task. No, it’s not heavily populated, and no, there’s no special about its geography. That doesn’t matter, though. We are all assured that it’s impossible to have all the votes counted within a week after election day because of reasons.

With that said, there’s a big update in the race. Democrat Adam Frisch has halved Republican incumbent Lauren Boebert’s lead during the “curing” period and there will now be a recount.

https://twitter.com/Redistrict/status/1593378899966263297

As I’ve said before, the idea of having a “curing” period is insane. It takes the electoral process and turns it into a competition of who can get the most people to come back and “fix” their ballot. That means it’s all about who has the most money and most union connections. It’s anti-democratic nonsense that turns election day into election month.

That appears to be what helped Frisch close the gap, and now, because of that, we’ll have to wait even longer for an official winner to be named. It’s inexplicable that any state in the country would have a system set up like this, yet mail-in voting has become more popular, and ballot “curing” more prevalent.

Now, is it likely that Boebert loses? No, it would be pretty rare (to the point of almost never happening) for a recount to make up a gap of over 500 votes. But if that happens, after this cluster of an election in Colorado, you can expect Republicans to go ballistic. The feeling that these late counting processes in these blue states are rigged is already prevalent, and to see yet another lead slip away due to something as sketchy as “curing” and a recount would set off a nuclear bomb in the political sphere.

The old rule of thumb is 50% doesn't change things, 25 it does, in favor of Dems, and 25% in favor of GOP.

Now, it helps Dems almost exclusively.

Democrat Sarah Keitt Claims Victory In 134th House District Race

The race between Keitt and Republican Meghan McCloat came down to a recount, which McCloat is contesting with an elections complaint.

Alfred Branch  |  Nov 16, 2022  |  5:56 pm ET


FAIRFIELD, CT — Democrat Sarah Keitt claimed victory Wednesday in the state's 134th House District race, defeating Republican challenger Meghan McCloat by less than a dozen votes following a recount.

According to unofficial numbers from the Secretary of State's office, Keitt garnered 5,143 votes, while McCloat received 5,133. The district represents parts of Fairfield and Trumbull.

In Fairfield, Keitt unofficially received 3,697 votes, compared to McCloat's 3,657. The unofficial Trumbull tally was 1,446 for Keitt, and 1,476 for McCloat.

Keitt carried Fairfield, the hometown of both candidates, by 40 votes, while McCloat had a 30-vote edge in Trumbull, which ultimately was not enough for the victory.

"The voters have spoken," Keitt said in a statement. "After all of the ballots were carefully tallied and meticulously re-counted, I am thrilled to announce that I have won the race for State Representative in Connecticut’s 134th House district by 10 votes. This result demonstrates the truth of the statement, 'EVERY vote matters.'"

For her part, McCloat said she has drafted a complaint with the State Elections Enforcement Commission against Fairfield Democratic Registrar Matthew Waggner, who McCloat accused of violating "multiple Connecticut State Election Laws that constitute Prohibited Acts according to Chapter 151 of the Connecticut General Statutes."

McCloat did not provide a copy of the draft complaint to Patch, but said that the "evidentiary attachments" would be made public in the event of an SEEC investigation.

"Alleged violations include unnecessary printing of photocopied ballots, improper chain of custody of official ballots, false statements on certificates and returns, improper voter count without an official moderator present, and tampering with ballots among other violations," McCloat said in a statement. "These violations, if corroborated, carry criminal penalties and should be the subject of investigation by the State Elections Enforcement Commission."

The election day count had Keitt trailing by 113 votes.  Keitt called McCloat to concede the election.  But eight days later, the cities of Trumbull and Fairfield announced that they had discovered batches of ballots that had not been counted.  These new ballots put Keitt ahead.

There's no way to connect a ballot to a voter for any kind of meaningful audit.

So ballots provide a ripe opportunity for fraud for those so inclined. It's a system of trust...

Back during the 2020 recount here in Georgia, I asked why they weren't checking signatures on absentee ballots.  In the mail-in process, you put your ballot inside a special envelope, sign the envelope, and then put that envelope inside another to be mailed.  The original intent was that the ballot would remain attached to the signature envelope.  But what happens is they open both envelopes to extract the ballot, and then throw away the envelopes.  At that point, there is no way to match a signature to a ballot.

If you recall the photo showing envelopes in a garbage can about to be loaded into a shredder truck.  That was at Jim Miller Park in Cobb county which is where I was having the conversation with the GOP official above.  And here we are two years later.  And not a single GOP party leader has done a damn thing to ensure that the proper procedures are followed for checking signatures for mail-in ballots.

In Georgia, mail-in ballots have a QR code.  Regular ballots do not.  So this means a person can vote twice - once with mail in and once on election day.  It's not legal.  But the previous election proved that not only do people do it, but they get away with it, too.

The actual ballots were then preserved, with full chain of custody in case there was a need to revisit them. We no longer have that and things have gone to hell as a result. @Cyber Liberty

Agreed. That's why it is a system of trust. Once ballots are in the hands of the managers/counters a lot can go on with no possible way to audit them. Ballots can be swapped out from select regions and no one will be the wiser. Especially if a ballot can be printed on command by those in charge. You can recount the ballots all you like and it won't expose what was done.

And if you allow a week or more for mailed ballots to 'come in,' you can simply take a registered voted list to see who hasn't voted, and create a ballot for them.

Too late, the election is over.  There won't be another.  Ranked choice voting means that each voter ranks the candidates in order of preference.  When the ballots are counted, they first look at everyone's #1 preference.  If no one ends up with 50%, they eliminate the 4th place candidate and move their #2 choice up to #1.  They then count again.  Again, if no one ends up over 50%, they then eliminate the 3rd place candidate and move the preferences of those ballots up.

The sole purpose of ranked choice voting is to ensure that Lisa Murkowski gets re-elected.  That's it.  No other reason.  Murkowski hasn't won a majority of the Alaska vote since her first election.  This way, Democrat voters can place her as their #2 choice, so that their votes switch from Dem candidate to Murkowski to block a Conservative Republican from winning.  It basically allows people a do-over on their vote if their candidate comes in 3rd or 4th place.

For Palin's race, the Dem has around 48% followed by Palin at 26% and Begich at 24%.  As long as all the Begich voters chose the other Republican (Palin) as their second choice, she could win.  The Libertarian candidate has about 1.7%, so they could be the spoilers.

Party of satan - 212

Four seats undecided.  Three in California (Republican leads all three).  One in Alaska (Dem leads, but will go to second and 3rd choice).

Possible GOP could win all four, but its also possible the Dems could win all four.

Current tally shows Boebert ahead by 554.  They said they Friday was the deadline for mail-in overseas ballots.  So this should be final.  They say in Colorado that no one overcomes a 500-vote deficit after recounts.

Alaska election results: Murkowski takes lead in tight ranked-choice general election
Murkowski campaign trolls rival Kelly Tshibaka after overtaking her by fewer than 2,000 votes

By Chris Pandolfo | Fox News

Alaska Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski has taken the lead over Republican challenger Kelly Tshibaka in the ranked-choice Senate contest that won't be resolved until at least next week. 

As of Saturday morning, Murkowski leads Tshibaka by fewer than 2,000 first-choice votes, with no candidate in the race claiming an outright majority that would end the election. Murkowski has 112,519 votes, 43.3% of the total vote share, and Tshibaka has 110,861 votes, 42.7%. 

The deadline to receive absentee ballots was Friday, Nov. 18, and the tabulation of second-choice votes is scheduled to begin on Wednesday, Nov. 23.

Under Alaska's ranked-choice voting system, voters must list the four candidates who advanced from a jungle primary in order of who they prefer to win. If no candidate receives a majority of first-choice votes on Election Day, the counting proceeds to a second round where the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated. People who voted for that candidate have their votes redistributed to their second-choice. The counting continues until there are two candidates remaining and whoever has the greatest number of votes wins.

Here is where the last uncalled House races stand two weeks from Election Day
Four critical House races remain uncalled by major news outlets now two weeks since Election Day.

By Brandon Gillespie , Sophia Slacik | Fox News


As results from midterms elections continue to trickle in two weeks past Election Day, four critical House races in Alaska, California and Colorado still remain uncalled. 

Fox News Digital breaks down the outstanding races and what is taking so long.
California

California, which has two of the four uncalled races, is a predominately vote-by-mail state, meaning every registered voter is automatically mailed a ballot 29 days prior to Election Day. With 22 million registered voters and weeks-long processing times, this means race calls can move very slowly in the Golden State.

California still has 593,925 remaining ballots to be counted, according to estimates from the California Secretary of State's report on Monday. Of the unprocessed ballots remaining, about 500,000 of these ballots were mailed in Election Officials. California permits election authorities one month to complete tallying which mean voters could be waiting as late as Dec. 8 for final race outcomes.

In California's 3rd Congressional District, Republican Kevin Kiley holds a commanding lead over Democrat Kermit Jones; however, approximately only a little over half of ballots have been counted in the "likely Republican" race. California accepts mail-ballots for the week following Election Day, although the ballots must be postmarked by Nov. 8. The ballots must also go through a signature verification process before being counted.

The second uncalled race in California lies in the state's 13th Congressional District. This toss-up race is among the tightest remaining as Republican John Duarte narrowly leads Democrat Adam Gray by less than 800 votes.

California "Republicans" would be a better fit in China or the USSR than in the US.

I know nothing about the man,but I do know that if he hadn't voted to impeach Trump that he would have never even been the candidate,never mind re-elected.

If he voted to impeach Trump, likely he is a RINO/crossover vote anyway.

Republican Kevin Kiley projected to win competitive, open House seat in California
The Associated Press projects that GOP nominee Kevin Kiley will win the hotly contested race for California's 3rd Congressional District.

The Associated Press projects that Republican nominee Kevin Kiley will win the open seat for California's newly drawn 3rd House district, defeating his Democratic opponent, Kermit Jones, in a crucial victory for Republicans. 

The GOP win in this district gives Republicans 220 seats, a slight majority when the 118th U.S. Congress convenes next January. Votes are still being counted in three House races.

 Alaska set to announce results from ‘confusing’ ranked choice system
by Al Weaver - 11/23/22 6:00 AM ET

Alaska’s lengthy and convoluted election process is set to come to an end on Wednesday when Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R) and Rep. Mary Peltola (D) are likely to finally emerge as the winners — largely thanks to the state’s new ranked-choice system. 

The Alaska Division of Elections will reveal the final unofficial results on Wednesday night.

Murkowski leads Republican challenger Kelly Tshibaka by less than 1,700 votes — 43.3 percent to 42.7 percent.

In the House contest, Peltola holds a commanding lead, with 48.7 percent support over Republicans Sarah Palin at 25.8 percent and Nick Begich at 23.4 percent. 

According to the new election system, contests where neither candidate reaches the 50 percent mark will see the candidate who finished with the lowest numbers eliminated.

The voters who backed that individual then have their votes reallocated to their second choices.

Ultimately, only two candidates are left at the end until a winner is determined.

That is why Murkowski is the favorite, as the votes of Democrat Pat Chesbro, who won 10.4 percent of the vote, will likely shift overwhelmingly to the moderate senator. 

According to a memo sent to interested parties on Monday, the Murkowski campaign expects that at least 70 percent of the 26,874 votes cast for Chesbro will end up in her column, which would put her over the top.

“Any remaining outstanding votes (absentee and early) will break favorably for Lisa Murkowski. When the ranked-choice process plays out on November 23rd and 2nd place votes are tallied, Lisa Murkowski will once again secure re-election,” Nate Adams, Murkowski’s campaign manager, wrote in the memo.

On the House side, all signs point to Peltola winning for the second time in four months, even though more voters in total cast ballots for one of the two Republicans, Palin and Begich.

The reason is that a large number of voters who picked Palin or Begich as their top candidate picked Peltola as their second choice.

How convenient.  For two weeks, Palin and Begich together have polled over 50%, meaning that as long as their voters chose the other Republican as the second choice, the higher of the two would win.  But 15 days after election day, suddenly their total has fallen to 49.2%, meaning that they now can't win on their votes alone.  At the same time, Murkowski who trailed Tshibaka by two points for a week and a half suddenly finds herself behind.  How does this happen?  How is it that two weeks after the election, there is such a sudden and substantial change in vote totals?

 Just two House races remain undeclared, and Republicans lead in both
by Julia Mueller - 11/24/22 1:53 PM ET

Just two House races remain undeclared as of Thanksgiving Day, with Republicans leading in both races and looking to add to their majority.

Democrats were able to hold on to the Senate and keep control of a number of key House seats after the “red wave” failed to materialize on Election Day, but Republicans last week narrowly crossed the 218-seat threshold to take the House.

Now, more than two weeks after the midterms, two House races in California and Colorado are officially still up in the air — though the Democrat has conceded in Colorado. If the current GOP leads hold, Republicans will secure 222 House seats, while Democrats would hold 213. 

The 222-213 breakdown would notably be the exact reverse of the results in the 2020 election cycle, when the House split in the Democrats’ favor. 

In California’s 13th Congressional District, Republican John Duarte is ahead of Democratic former State Assemblyman Adam Gray by less than 600 votes, with 99 percent of the vote counted, according to The Associated Press. 

The race was seen as a toss-up heading into Election Day in the recently redrawn California district.  

The 13th Congressional District is currently represented by Rep. Barbara Lee (D), who decided to run in, and win, the new 12th District. Gray was endorsed by California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) and both of California’s Democratic senators, Dianne Feinstein and Alex Padilla, but the redrawn lines made a blue win uncertain.

In Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District, the vote count is similarly slim. 

With 99 percent of ballots tallied, sitting Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert is up by around 550 votes over Democratic challenger Adam Frisch, a razor-thin margin that kickstarted a recount under Colorado’s election rules. 

Frisch at one point was leading Trump-backed Boebert by 64 votes in the reliably red district Boebert had been expected to win easily. 

The Democrat conceded the race last week, saying he didn’t think a recount would reverse Boebert’s victory, but the race hasn’t been formally called.

Black Panther Party sends 'guards' to polling stations

New Black Panther Party deploys armed guards to some polling locations
Cami Mondeaux

Leaders of the New Black Panther Party announced they would be deploying armed guards to a number of polling places in the Atlanta area to monitor "white supremacist violence" as voters cast their ballots in the Georgia Senate runoff election.

"No one will come and touch, harm, threaten, do anything to any person walking into that voting booth to exercise that right," Khallida Ramla Bastet said at a press conference on Monday. "This is a legal position that we are taking. We are in position so that if anything happens to anyone, we are here to offer you legal representation. We are here to offer you security. And that's that. And may the best person win."

The armed patrols will be conducted at polling locations in both Atlanta and Savannah between 7 a.m. and 11 a.m. and then again between 3 p.m. and 8 p.m., according to the group. The intent is not to intimidate voters as they cast their ballot, the group said, maintaining it does not endorse either candidate.

Georgia Leaders Losing Battles to Hide Their Dominion Connections

Posted on November 21, 2020 by Texans Jack & Dodie


The former chief of staff for Georgia Governor Brian Kemp was one of eight registered lobbyists for Dominion Voting Systems.

Insiders say it was a “sure thing Dominion was in when we learned Thomas was involved.”

The lobbyist that legislative staff members were referring to was Jared Thomas, a former chief of staff and press secretary for Governor Kemp.

Another lobbyist for the controversial company was former Georgia Secretary of State Lewis Abit Massey.

Where’s the Media?

An important question mainstream media has failed to ask or seek answers for is:

Why is Dominion, an election company, doing donating to ANY political side of an election when they are contracted to run elections?

Records reveal Dominion donated large sums (at least $50,000) of money to the Clinton Foundation and were in cahoots with The DELIAN Project, a transnational voting technology initiative valued at over $2 million with the Clintons.

Not surprised in the least. The DEMS will have the majority in the Senate and with RINO's like Collins, Murkowski, and Mittens, the GOP is sunk.

There are a ton of counties to review, but from my vantage point and review, I think Walker has hit his high water mark.  Most of his rural county votes are in, while maybe 50-60% of Metro-ATL has only been counted.  Then add the fact, that area  has been on freeze mode for approaching 30 minutes.

I don't think Walker wins.

Are all the Dem strongholds in??

I reported this about 30 minutes ago.  Then add the fact we are nearing an hour and a half where nary a single vote in Atlanta has been counted.

Vote count completion ATL Metro-

Fulton- 55%
Cobb- 56%
Gwinnet- 67%
Newton-61%
Henry-60%
Clayton-77%
DeKalb-45%

Extrapolating, there is about 100K Warnock advantage in Atlanta alone once counted.

Gwinnet- +7K Warnock
Henry- +2K Warnock
Jackson +1K Walker
Newton-+2K Warnock

64K + 40K....  104K overall win.  I think both our final estimates will be  pretty close.

All the RCP polling data today had Warnock winning by 2-5%, including the GOP push polling at Trafalgar @ 4%

Walker actually over-performed polling, not much consolation, but.......

Looked hopeful for a bit, but those urban counties holding back, you knew that was going to drop hard.

You got to black men in a race, so that factor is completely out, and they still vote 80-90% Democrat. What the heck do you do?

This is a microcosm of where the country is - an extreme city-rural split. Don't see it changing even if the urban areas go through alot more pain.

And if there was cheating - as we all know GA is GOP led, and they did nothing to fix it.

So there we are. We are two countries now.

Nailed it 100%.   Location for some time now is almost lockstep 90/10 now with ideology. That same 90/10 is predicated by those left leaning urbanites who are addicted to the sucking of the left hind teat of the Fedzilla/Statezilla Hog of entitlements and subsidies.

This will not sustain, and Dystopian Urban Warfare wil begin, once an economic collapse commences.  The hungry angry Urban Mobs will feed upon itself until fully devoured, and then will set their eyes outside the cities.  Which accounts for most of us. 

I know I paint an ugly picture, but this is pretty much being played out in Venezuela, and we are on the same course, except on a much much more massive scale.  40 years of irresponsible left leaning government and polices will come back to bite us.  It's not a point of if, at this point, it is when.

Walker was atrocious (compared to Kemp and the other statewide candidates) in every corner of the Atlanta metro.  Include Athens, Savannah, Augusta, Macon, and Columbus in that trend.  He did better than Loeffler in rural south GA, but it was not enough.  You throw a trumpy political novice into marginal state, you will lose and keep on losing.  I have zero confidence the pubs have learned anything from this midterm.  Maybe they will surprise me.

I wish I could tell you that you're wrong... but you're not.

The GOP shares part of the blame for refusing to recognize and respond to what Democrats have been doing for over 50 years. Demographic trends have also played a role, as people are segregating politically by self-selection. Florida is now a Red state, as more conservative taxpayers have flocked there. Georgia is now Blue, as Chicago and Detroit have depopulated and moved to Atlanta.

The U.S. is Balkanizing, and the result will not be pretty.

Well... you get what you vote for I guess. If they do get rid of the filibuster, and the GOP gets a trifecta majority again by some stroke of luck, maybe they could actually do some actual codified reforms like getting rid of the 1965 immigration bill, energy and education departments, etc.

Wouldn't that be fun!
I guess! Unfortunately, millions are getting what they never voted for lately.

I'm actually skeptical that they'll get rid of the filibuster. Unless they have the House, it really wouldn't benefit them to.

OK, folks, here's another Fishrrman totally-off-the-wall prediction for 2023.

With the new session, the dem-communists will have a 51-49 majority in the Senate.

But, I predict that in the coming year, both Feinstein and Fetterman will spend as much time absent from the Senate, as being there.

Feinstein, because of declining health and cognizance.
Fetterman, possibly because of another stroke.

Back to a 49-49 "tie" ??

Nope....  They've basically propped a Alzheimers patient out there in the WH for two years now, and gotten away with it.

With COVID era remote electronic voting in place, what's to stop that?

 GOP Georgia lieutenant governor: Every Republican ‘ought to hold Donald Trump accountable’ for Warnock win
by Olafimihan Oshin - 12/07/22 11:45 AM ET

GOP Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan says that every member in his party needs to hold former President Trump “accountable” for Sen. Raphael Warnock’s (D-Ga.) victory in Tuesday’s runoff election. 

“The only way to explain this is candidate quality,” Duncan said in an interview with CNN, alluding to the controversies surrounding failed Republican challenger Herschel Walker, whom Trump had strongly encouraged to run.

Duncan added that he hopes Warnock’s victory will be a wake-up call for the GOP to examine their future with Trump as the face of the party. 

“If we don’t take our medicine here, it’s our fault. … Every Republican in this country ought to hold Donald Trump accountable for this,” he said. 

Warnock, a senior pastor at Atlanta-based Ebenezer Baptist Church, defeated Walker in Tuesday’s runoff, resulting in him earning a full term in Congress and giving his party an extra seat in their majority control of the Senate chamber, 51 to 49. 

The Warnock-Walker showdown went into a runoff after neither candidate garnered more than 50 percent of the vote in last month’s general election.

You may not know this, because national races get all the attention, but over 100 school boards nationwide flipped conservative in this election cycle.

This will have a greater impact on our country's future than anything the 118th Congress does in the next two years.

Geoff Duncan can eat out of the crack of my ass.  The only ones to blame here are Brian Kemp and Brad Raffensperger, as well as the recently deceased (and now burning in hell) David Ralston.

Absolutely.  As well as abortion on demand up until the moment of birth.  According to Warnock and his parishioners, it's what Jesus would want.

Hmmm... with 51 votes now, they could do that. But it hasn't been done yet.

Keep in mind, these are Democrats we're talking about here.  Of course they will change the rules.  No need to get Dianne Feinstein out of bed if Chuck Schumer is allowed to vote on her behalf.

Karl Rove fumes that Trump lost Georgia Senate race for the GOP: 'We got our clock cleaned'
Karl Rove breaks down what went wrong with Republicans' loss in Georgia that 'shouldn't have been'

By Sophia Slacik | Fox News

The midterm elections are officially over after Sen. Raphael Warnock defeated GOP nominee Herschel Walker by nearly 3 percentage points in Georgia’s Senate runoff. While Democrats celebrate their 51st seat in the upper chamber, Karl Rove, a veteran GOP strategist and Fox News contributor, says the Republican loss was avoidable.

"It shouldn't have been," Rove told Fox News Digital. "We had a terrible candidate who was well-meaning but plagued with a lot of scandal and was not particularly good on the campaign trail."

Republicans' loss in the Peach State boils down to poor candidate quality at the hands of President Donald Trump, according to Rove.

"It just shows again he’s a bad picker," Rove said. 

With Warnock's victory, Democrats have successfully defended every Democratic incumbent up for re-election in the Senate this year, a political feat that no party has been able to accomplish since the 1934 midterms.

Rove, a longtime GOP operative and former senior adviser to President George W. Bush, has been a critic of Trump in the past and again urged his party to take caution when considering the former president's picks in future races. 

"We ought to realize that Trump’s endorsement is not an inducement to support that candidate, but a warning to beware," Rove said.

Trump endorsed Walker, a longtime friend and former NFL football star, early in the primary process, long before allegations of domestic abuse and claims that Walker paid for abortions for two women surfaced in the media. Though Georgia has become more competitive in recent years, Walker was the only Republican to lose a statewide election in the state this year, while every other GOP candidate won by 5 points or more, avoiding a runoff election.

Percentage wise Walker underperformed in all those counties v. Kemp.

Precincts yes, but 80+% vote countywide for a candidate is rare, and usually happens in very small population counties. Almost 90% for Clayton, 86% for DeKalb.

WTH?

Look at the demographic change in those counties between the charted years and you'll have your answer.

I don't get knocked off guard much anymore when it comes to politics, but that made my head snap back.

It just confirms the balkanization theory. If you can hoodwink large pop counties to that degree, it's hard to think things will change no matter how bad our govt gets.

Clayton County Schools lost their accreditation a few years back, if that tells you anything.  A Clayton County high school diploma would not get you into college.

So would an electoral college in each state help to equalize things? Probably not possible but it could put the larger counties and cities on hold.

There have been proposals to do it by Congressional district instead of all-or-nothing.

If it had been done across the nation at the time, Romney would have beat Obama.

That was the case prior to a ruling in the 1960's that declared it unconstitutional.
