California itself won't decide those remaining seats. Those who voted will determine the remaining seats. Just like it did in 2020 when the same thing happened and a bunch of California districts were called late, some went Dem, and some went GOP. If they all go Dem, if they all go GOP or somewhere in between it isn't a conspiracy....
I didn't say it was a conspiracy or fraud.
Most people just have no clue what is happening.
They have no clue how Democrats are able to cobble together votes which show up at the end.
What they are doing is not "illegal" in California and in some other states. It is illegal in many states, but not all. They just have it down to an art in those states.
Republicans better learn quick how to do the same thing. You can't take the high road anymore. You have to get down into the gutter with Democrats and gather as many ballots as possible, BEFORE Democrats get them first.
There are 2 factions in the GOP House and the new speaker is going to have a lot of problems trying to get consensus from fellow Republicans. Expect constant infighting. Boehner 2.0. Some people might not agree with Pelosi's positions, but at least she was able to corral the House Dems to put on a united front. I don't think we are going to see a united front with the House Republicans.
McCarthy (likely new speaker) is going to have a rough time.

I agree - Until the infighting stops the Republicans don't have a chance. I wish there was a third option.

What is happening are the votes are being counted, just like what happened in previous elections. Some of the late calls are going Democratic, some are going Republican (most of the close House races in 2020 that were called late broke GOP), just like what happened in recent elections. Democrats tend to improve on their margins on most races from the initial count due to Democrats being more likely to vote by mail. However this isn't always the case as evident Trump and the GOP getting closer in Arizona after the initial count, the GOP win in AZ-01 that was called yesterday after the Democrat led from the initial count through Sunday night.

You are missing the efforts much earlier on, weeks before the election.
Again, not illegal in some states. It's what Republicans need to educate themselves on, start doing and then take it to a new level.
The early bird, as they say.
When I say Republicans, I don't mean the voters. I mean the leadership. The people calling the shots, which by the way, they need to change......especially Turtle in the Senate.
Her idol lost AZ in 2020 after bashing McCain. She blew her chance of being governor after bashing McCain and telling "McCain-type" Republicans to stay away.
I'm seeing a pattern here. I wonder how long it'll take the AZ GOP to finally see it as well?
Never, the MAGA base is a cult. Under Trump’s leadership they lost the house, senate , presidency and historically underperformed this midterm.
Trump and electoral deniers are electoral poison but as long as they can pis off the libs actually having political positions or winning elections is of secondary importance.
