Election Night (or days, or weeks, or whatever) 2022

[mr.checkerboards]

My final projections:

Senate: Blue 50 Red 50
House: Blue 219 Red 216

Thats the last thing we need, the best thing to happen for this clown show admin would be 2 years of gridlock.

 

[zeppelin128]

Can you prove none of that happened?

Boebert committed fraud to get reelected? Must be true, verified by me and this dude on VN. Stop the steal!

So, no.

We should all hope this doesn't happen. Prepare for 2 more years of misery if this is the outcome. The country does better when the feds can't do anything but fight each other.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Like was said after 2020 Dems have learned and mastered the art of cheating.... It will be a long time before Reps win another election. Dems will always magically "find" the votes they need to win.

 

[zeppelin128]

So, no.

Well that is same level of "proof" I've seen. Also funny that you are cool with Boebert stealing an election, since it is still being counted days after the election.

Where did I say I was cool with it?

I fully concur. Hope I'm wrong.

But, I went thru the 21 remaining House races one-by-one. 11 blue locks, 5 blue leans with only five remaining for the Reds.

I think the blues are outsmarting the reds by making a bunch of their strong holes in California / etc allow four extra days for mail-in votes to arrive. When the ballots arrive from Post Office in big roll around baskets, simply toss in however many pre-post marked ballots are needed to ensure a victory.

The side that votes 'last' should always win.

I agree there's some of that going on. But I really believe this country has way too many idiots voting for even bigger idiots. That goes for both sides too.

I agree. But from what we've seen the past 2 years, anyone that votes blue has some serious mental deficiencies.

No disagreement here, lol

Actually the more clear take away is I give the average Democrat voter more credit than you do.

I just don't want us to cling to being the party of anti Trump. If the GOP moved on from him -- and that seems increasingly likely -- then the Dems need to move on too. Otherwise they will make essentially the mirror image same mistake the GOP made, ie overplay that hand.

Horse hockey..it aint about Trump..It is ideology. Biden is as devisive as Trump and certainly his character is awful as well.
The next Repub will just be another Trump.

Well, let's hope a miracle occurs, the stars align, and both nominate people of substance.

Yeah good luck with that. But Trump is the whole Democrat agenda

That's my point. If the GOP let's him go, the Dems need to as well. Trump fatigue works both ways.

And I said good luck with that because you have no other answer. Zero.

Would be nice to get back to debates over spending, taxation, regulation, deregulation, overregulation, our role in the international community, etc.

Yep. But it will happen anytime soon.

That's not what the US govt does anymore. Now it's all about getting a majority so you can investigate people from the other party.

As for the other stuff, the govt will overspend, over tax, over regulate, and likely over involve themselves in the intl community. That won't change regardless of majority.

What a waste of electrons

What a waste of oxygen

The requirement people ask for a mail in ballot serves no legitimate purpose. The suggestion is purely to depress D votes.

But if a person is to lazy or doesn't care enough to put forth effort to vote..why make send them a ballot

 

[Orangeburst]

4 days have passed..This is a BS Republic.

Pretty sure it wasn't Democrats that decided this week that raising the voting age should be a thing. But please, do go off.

Where did anybody raise the voting age? It's certainly a move that makes sense. If you aren't out of school and making your way in the world, you shouldn't be deciding elections. I definitely think if you aren't paying income tax, you have no business voting.
