the map is also pretty unfavorable to Dems. They should win a few seats here and there but likely no more than that

I heard Rush talking about this today. He said Soros money is going into the local elections for judges and district attorneys because it's insurance for when they lose elections. That is why you see Leftist judges blocking Trump's orders.

Voter fraud is easier to pull off in small elections where a few politicians control the town. Both parties indulge in this practice so that is why so many are against clearing out the voter rolls. That is why I keep telling you people to look up your previous voter registrations in other states and districts and officially cancel them. Different states have different ways to do this.

Registrations that are inactive are sold to the highest bidder so they can vote in your name. Your information can also be used for financial fraud and identity theft. Your laziness could cost you a lot of money and stress.

What the hell does this drivel have to do with the Republicans losing a Special Election in a Republican district in Florida?

Michael Medved today pointed out that Republicans had won so many elections in recent times (R's control 70% of state legislative bodies) that some pullback should have been expected. In other words, consider this as kind of a 'market correction,' as takes place when irrational exuberance drives the market higher than it should be.

Isn't that at least partially because Republicans have gerrymandered the he** out of many states, like Pennsylvania? It's not like they're only winning on merit.

In other words, start explaining why you're going to lose in November now.

Medved was an atrocious movie reviewer - - apparently he's an equal awful talking head now?

Exactly!

After losing 1500+ seats under Obama it’s natural to see the Dems winning some of them back.

A characteristic of an atrocious poster for me is someone who tries to shove words into the mouth's of others. That's not what he said, and that's not what I quoted him as saying.

That might be an explanation if these losses were happening in traditional Democratic seats that they picked off that the Democrats won back, or perhaps districts that Clinton won in which were represented by a Republican in the Legislature that they didn't hold onto once the Incumbent was no longer there. However, that isn't what we have been seeing, those type of seats really haven't been up for a special election. It is the traditionally Republican districts that Trump won where these Special elections are occurring that they are losing.

Except for the fact that off-year and special elections are typically dominated by older white voters who are heavily Republican. So far this year, not so much.
