Well, I was interested in what Ms. Lake had to say, but I guess Mr Trump's has some level of exclusivity to look at his site. No big loss.

Kari ought to find another way to reach people.

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.

Republican David Valadao Reelected Despite Voting to Impeach Trump

Joel B. Pollak 22 Nov 2022

Rep. David Valadao (R-CA) was narrowly reelected Monday, defending his seat despite voting to impeach former President Donald Trump last year, only the second Republican of ten who did so to return to Congress.

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.

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.

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?

If it was the other way around with the Dem leading 50.3 to 49.7%, they would have called it a week ago.
