When I went to bed last night, I was certain we would have a winner declared in Wisconsin, Nevada and Arizona. I figured Georgia would be a run-off no matter what.

It's 2022 and for some reason we cannot declare a winner in 4 senate races and 60+ house seats. How is that possible? This is where some doubt that we have free and FAIR elections begins to creep into the minds of voters.

And in PA, they had 50 days of early voting. 50 days! A large sum of people voted before Fetterman finally decided to face Oz in a single debate. ~

"Democracy" ~ hide the candidate until after the voting begins, the Joe Biden way.

Lake is running for governor. Pay attention.

Good Lord. Kari Lake is running for Gov. not Senator.

This is why some people shouldn't be allowed to vote.

Kari Lake would be a great governor for Arizona. She would be the female version of Ron DeSantis. Instead of facing hurricane threats to her state, she would tackle the illegal alien invasion on AZ's southern border.

I don't know what the hell happened with Arizona. Kari Lake said if elected she'd declare an invasion on our southern border, so I guess there were enough anchor babies of age to vote against her. I stand by my characterization of Katie Hobbs as the female Fetterman.

It's not all about gas prices and inflation. When people feel their rights are being whittled away by a religious far right they vote to keep their rights. This is what the GOP fails to realized. I'm sure many of the crossover votes and Independents that the Democrats gained were women afraid of what the GOP has in mind for them. What good are low gas prices when you are a second class citizen with no bodily autonomy whatsoever? Not much. Or voters who were appalled that a party continues to support candidates who still believe The Big Lie and actually campaigned on it.



The GOP needs to come into the 21st century or these kinds of losses will continue for them.

The Dems have been running the country for 2 years now.

Nothing has been whittled away by the Republicans.

I guess you were asleep when the far right leaning fundamentalists on the SC overturned Roe v Wade?
