Agreed. We should have seen the writing on the wall with the 2004 Washington state governor's race. That is when all this crap started happening. Granted though, I still think Gore was the real winner in 2000, and Jeb had to rig his state for his brother to win. So this makes me believe that we don't have a true republic or a democracy anymore. There are very wealthy people behind the curtains and they are the ones who decide who is going to win or not. They will let a few states lose to give the American people the illusion we have a voice.

Well, might be time for another civil war, and I'm pretty sure the conservatives can beat out the democrats like they did last time. We have the guns, military training and know our way around the backwoods. Democrats can't do crap without handouts. Those handouts will get hard once the farms stop giving to the big cities.

GOP is currently leading in both chambers.

Now if they lose both, then yes, this will be very suspicious.

What other states are still below 90% statewide?

“All this crap started happening” immediately following the SCOTUS’s decision in Shelby County v. Holder, which invalidated a key provision of the Voting Rights Act.
Polling place closures
Between 2012 and 2018, there were 1,688 polling place closures in states previously covered by section five of the Voting Rights Act, according to a report from the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights.

Before the Shelby county decision, local officials would have had to submit these changes for federal review and show they were not discriminatory. Now, local officials are free to make those changes under the radar without analyzing the discriminatory impact of the closures

Two hundred and fourteen of those closures were in Georgia, a state previously covered by the Voting Rights Act that is emerging as a political battleground. In 2015, Brian Kemp, then Georgia’s top election official, sent local election officials a memo outlining justifications for closing the polls and reminding them they no longer had to submit the changes for review to the federal government.
In 2013 the supreme court gutted voting rights – how has it changed the US?

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...t-consequences

The SCOTUS is hearing Moore v. Harper in December. Prepare for another landmark ruling on voting rights & elections.

Moore v. Harper, Explained

The debunked “independent state legislature theory” is on the Supreme Court’s docket, with potentially disastrous consequences.
In Moore v. Harper, the Supreme Court will decide whether the North Carolina Supreme Court has the power to strike down the legislature’s illegally gerrymandered congressional map for violating the North Carolina Constitution. The legislators have argued that a debunked interpretation of the U.S. Constitution — known as the "independent state legislature theory” — renders the state courts and state constitution powerless in matters relating to federal elections.

Last year, North Carolina’s Republican-dominated state legislature passed, on a party-line vote, an extreme partisan gerrymander to lock in a supermajority of the state’s 14 congressional seats. The gerrymander was so extreme that an evenly divided popular vote would have awarded 10 seats to the Republicans and only four to the Democrats. The map was a radical statistical outlier more favorable to Republicans than 99.9999% of all possible maps.

MAJOR reason to not vote for Kemp again. Stacey Abrams' #1 issue was abortion, which Democrats claim is so very important. AND she's a Democrat. Why wouldn't Georgia's Dems want a Democrat governor? Both of their US Senators are Democrat. Do you really expect us to believe that Georgia Dems voted for Kemp?

Yes we heard this back in 2020, only the presidential race was suspicious, they were fine with all the down ballot races that republicans won. Honestly, you would have to believe that they were able to just rigg the presidential race with laser like precision and ignore all the other races.

I read where one of the problems in Arizona was people dropping off mail-in ballots at the polling locations that are among the 2900,000 ballots.

So tired of the "there's something funny going on here". The important thing is getting it accurate which they have done successfully.

The GOP likely takes the House, the Democrats likely take the Senate. If either side takes both chambers it will not be suspicious. Enough of this conspiracy crap if the votes don't go the way you want them to

Poltico already publishing articles about "not giving up hope" for the House.

The liberal bias is truly alarmingly.

Democrats, barring any "2am mail-in dump," the House is going to the GOP. Accept it.
