God don't like ugly, and voters despise arrogance. I suspect this was the kill shot that finished off Maloney's congressional career. At least this time around. Feckless Democrats, like dead voters, seem to keep coming back to life at the worst possible time.Some more good news:

"Also, from a source connected to one of the organizations supporting Kari Lake, I hear: Kari Lake will win, and Blake Masters could win."
Some dood (sorry, I can't remember his name) was on Charlie Kirk's livestream last night and while the early ballot skew for Abortion Mouse was horrific (11-16%?), the sheer amount of same-day votes could make up for it if they broke something like 3:1 for Lake. Which seems like it might happen. Posted by: Thrawn at November 09, 2022 01:34 PM (Rl7KJ) 20

Regardless of the day, the suppression of GOP votes is clear. People are talking about Walker and Oz being weak candidates but it ignores the terrible results in the House.
The only way to beat fraud is by first winning and then fixing the way votes are handled, but "first winning" is the insurmountable hurdle. Lake might pull it off and reel Arizona back to the red column. It'd be great if we could have the same thing happen in Nevada. We're still looking at needing to thread the needle in 2024. PA and MI are gonezo. There are enough GOP voters there to win, but the fraud machine is too strong. Focus needs to turn to AZ, NV, and Wisconsin. Win those three and the election is secure. Lose even one of them and it's President Gretchen. Posted by: Shenanigans at November 09, 2022 01:34 PM (ZR7kf) 24
John James is a great candidate. It's nice that he won something after coming up short running for Senate and governor.

Here's my take, for what it's worth... I think most voters in this country would *love* to have an alternative. But they don't. I think they recognize that the system is rigged, and representative government is a joke. They're just voting for whichever faction of the brigands are "their brigands." Like if Mafia syndicates held elections. They're all in it together, the syndicate will carry on hand-in-hand no matter what, but you get to pick who sits at the head of the table. More money will flow to your neighborhood, and the shakedown guys will take it easier on you if it's "your" gangster. In that environment... when you have to just pick the strongest gang, with the chieftain who can lift the heaviest pig... do you vote for MS-13, or the Yellow Jacket Boys?

John James ran in 2016 for Debbie Stabenows Senate seat and lost to her even though Trump won the state. He ran again in 2020 for the Senate seat held by Peters and lost in the voter fraud Dominion situation here in Michigan alongside Trump who hosted him at Trumps rallies and endorsed him. This year he ran for a House seat in the newly redistricting area of Oakland county. Which is majority white and I believe still slightly majority Republican. He has run for a Congressional seat for ten years.

Former Trump White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany says Florida Gov. DeSantis should campaign for Republican Herschel Walker in the Georgia Senate runoff, but former Pres. Trump should delay his Nov. 15th announcement and stay away from the race

Posted by: JoeF. **** They didn't do anything about Democrat cheating before Trump came along. And Trump had time to address it. Republicans don't attack election fraud. Does DeSantis?

As was said, this was not a Red Wave by any stretch of the imagination, it looks like a very soft performance by the out-party over the in-party.
And after the destruction of the last two years, a political re-alignment of the 1994 variety would have been in order.

As I said in the other thread at the bottom, Republicans need to be aware that the dem strategy of pushing mail-in ballots has another effect:
How the media reports on returns is fucked now, the dem gets off to an early *perceived* lead which sets the narrative and allows the biased media to talk up the democrats and down the 'wave' or momentum of Republicans. It's only after the day-of voting is tabulated and eventually outweighs the mail-in drops that the real outcome is seen. But by then the media and democrats, but I repeat myself, have set the narrative and written their stories and the TV has talked up their bullshit. Something to ponder.

Gonna go ahead and come out of the closet...
When I was 25, I ran in a Republican congressional primary (2010). I prayed on it, felt I had to do it in the end. I was a novice and didn't know what I was doing. We all know Republicans run the gamut from stuffy, stuck up twits to unfailingly kind. I'm glad I it did it. Lost the primary and helped the winner. We knocked off the longtime Democrat incumbent. You don't win elections running on nothing. You don't win elections without money. You don't will elections knocking your base. And you can't win elections when your own damn party undermines you at every turn. A bit of fraud/impropriety/irregularity, a bit of sabotage, a bit of unending narrative that gets next to no pushback... this result was orchestrated, and in more ways than one. The time for pushback against our own supposed party/side has been over for a long time. It's past time for a knock down drag out fight if there's any hope left of moving forward.

As I've been saying, we took a big win in the SC and turned it into a liability. As soon as we won the argument that it should be a state issue, we rushed to make it a federal issue when some of the states weren't going our way. We looked like the extremists the left always said we were on the issue. Not a good look.

Republicans have to start pushing early and mail in voting. It is a horrible strategy to rely on voters showing up one one day when they can vote for 10,20 or 30 days earlier. Simply from a statistical point of view, it’s bad.
Las Vegas had rain yesterday for example. Something that happens almost never. It may sound silly but when it rains in a place that is sunny 340 days a year people kinda freak out. And maybe some decided fuck it I’m not going out there in this weather. In a super close race even if 1% of potential voters act this way, it’s enough to make a difference. Why take risks with something like that and not just encourage your voters to vote early instead? It makes no sense. Posted by: Not Again!! at November 09, 2022 02:02 PM (G9XqU) 318

Former Trump White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany says Florida Gov. DeSantis should campaign for Republican Herschel Walker in the Georgia Senate runoff, but former Pres. Trump should delay his Nov. 15th announcement and stay away from the race

2020 and the subsequent coverup has proved that there is no margin of fraud with the left. No total is enough to give Republicans the win if the left desires to take a given state, as long as they have enough command of the controls of elections.
Sometimes they don't care enough to cheat a win in a state, sometimes they haven't got the money or manpower to pull it off, but they will win where they want to win unless a state actively and fiercely cleans up their electoral system.

331 Looks like Republicans have taken all four US House seats here in Iowa, with three Republican incumbents winning and the Democrat incumbent in the 3rd district losing to the Republican challenger.
That's in addition to the Republican incumbent governor winning reelection, and 87-term US Senator Chuck Grassley also winning. Also, "Republican state Sen. Roby Smith beat longtime Democratic incumbent Michael Fitzgerald for Iowa state treasurer, ending the tenure of the longest-serving state treasurer in the nation." Republicans also increased their majorities in both houses of the state legislature. nice to see at least one state turning more red. hopefully the cold keeps the Cali locusts away Posted by: brak at November 09, 2022 02:05 PM (j5Tg0) 349

Houston was again a clean sweep for the Dems but for a couple of open judges slots. Harris County is lost. If the GOP could not do it this cycle, especially against the incumbent county judge who is weak and may well be indicted in the near future, then it can't be done. Period. But Harris County is sufficiently competitive that it does not necessarily overwhelm the adjacent counties, with the result that the Houston courts of appeals are not a total loss (4 appellate judge seats were up, all claimed by Republicans).

Nope, its not all fraud. Just the big elections in key areas that the Democrats wanted to control. They couldn't handle ALL of the elections, there's not enough money and people to do it. And they don't need to. Just ones they needed to win, like the Senate and key governor elections. Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at November 09, 2022 02:15 PM (Ivdso) 442
I don't know about Masters - its just odd, the ticket splitting that went on in AZ - even odder (or maybe not) the slow walking of ballot counting in that state. As commentor on Fox stated, the entire state of Kansas was counted before AZ got to 60%...and Kansas has a much larger voting populace. Posted by: Boswell ___ It's just not that hard to understand, the kooky Trump candidates did poorly. Masters was AWFUL and Trump thrust him on us out of nowhere because he wants Thiel's money. Its just about what's good for Trump. The other candidates would have smoked Kelly. Its why the "fraud" argument doesnt hold up. So Republican Governor Kemp wins GA easy but not Walker.

Posted by: Not Again!! at November 09, 2022 02:14 PM (G9XqU) Not a super logical way of expressing it(or looking at it necessarily, you can have very widespread fraud). Statewide elections can easily be fraudulent country-wide. Many representative elections will be legitimate just because they're siloed from one another and from urban fraud centers. Overall it doesn't seem like we were seeing 2020 level chicanery, worst states with issues look to be AZ and GA, maybe PA. PA senate race might have been won beyond the margin given by fraud though.

I am in a very red county that does elections very clean and fast and efficient. Republicans win 65-35 so there is no cheating because it would change it to maybe 64-36.
However even here there is ticket splitting. For instance my state rep won 62% of the vote. The exact same people who did that voted 70% for the Republican running for state AG. That’s ticket splitting too and makes not much sense. People make weird voting choices based on the stupidest reasons. You like someone’s name, you like or dislike their hair cut, who knows.

SCOTUS sent the matter back to the states, where it belongs. Now the hard work of changing hearts and minds begins. Just like the climatistas kept hammering home a message that eventually got through to a significant population, the pro-life movement needs to do the same.

The percentage of no children in that prime-fertility number is also rising Of course, this is cheered as "the rise of the she-conomy" Posted by: People's Hippo Voice at November 09, 2022 02:28 PM (5EnGD) Posted by: bear with asymmetrical balls - an election is simply a festival for the majority at November 09, 2022 02:28 PM (ppBhU) 566
548 I find the argument "the red wave failed because of Trump and if it wasn't fraud everywhere, then it wasn't fraud anywhere" to be incredibly poor and uncompelling.
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at November 09, 2022 02:25 PM (Ivdso) Yes it's a ridiculous dichotomy. For the record aside from a few localities I didn't see anything that indicated fraud making large % swings, we might've mostly been operating on the old 1% margin of fraud this year.

The presidential/other ticket-splitting in a few states in 2020 was actually some of the most dramatically implausible "smoke" for the likely fraud "fire". In one important state IIRC the historic average rate of "presidential only" ballots was 3% ..... in 2020, 18%.

There are *so* many ways to avoid that.

The two areas where winning hearts and minds depend on finding a way to sell the message is that (1) a lot of these women, if not themselves, know one of the women who has had one of the 65 million abortions and can't think of that woman (or themselves) as being a murderer, and (2) are just not well informed (intentionally) about when a fetus becomes a baby.

Until we fix the voting process ---> ie, paper ballots, vote in person with ID required, and use long-lasting fluorescent-purple ink with a thumb- or finger-print affixed next to the voter's signature (serving two purposes: additional personal ID *and* an obvious indicator that the person has now voted and will be rejected if he tries to vote again), The Cheat will be run again and again and again.
IF AND ONLY IF We-The-People of the various states INSIST, DEMAND, PETITION, DEMONSTRATE, and AGITATE until our legislatures actually ACT and put this up for a vote and WE GET THE "THREE-P's VOTER REQUIREMENTS" PASSED INTO LAW IN EVERY STATE, --- ONLY THEN do we have *any* hope at all of having meaningful elections ever again.

The rest of WI, well, there are a TON of utterly dumb blue-collar working-class dimwits in this state who believe everything they're told on TV and FB. They hate 'Big Corporations', and honestly believe inflation, shortages, high gas prices, etc. are all entirely due to Fat Cats (Republicans!) exploiting them. There is no way to penetrate that retard armor. I personally know a pile of these kinds of people. And the women are no smarter, totally believing that the Roe v. Wade SC decision was a step to banning birth control!

Even with cheating in the Blue cities I expected a close call and it was. The working class factory people here turned Barnes because he ran a smart campaign, if completely dishonest, and made himself look like 'one of them' even though he absolutely is not.
