The policies weren't put in place because Republicans noticed rampant voter fraud. There was no rampant voter fraud. There is no rampant voter fraud. There is barely any voter fraud at all. If these policies reduced fraudulant votes it was by a miniscule fraction compared to the number of votes they prevented by making voting more difficult and inconvenient for people. So if the policies discourage voting by a significant amount and don't discourage fraudulent votes by a significant amount then those policies are more appropriately described as "voter suppression policies," not "election integrity measures."You did not.FTFYThe math?

one can argue that Fetterman was a bad candidate while recognizing that Oz was even worse. Had the Republicans picked a normal candidate they likely would have won.
That is likely to get eaten up. It was so close. It shouldn't have been that close. She is that bad.Frisch up over Boebert by 73 votes with 98% reporting.
The GOP has had a number of fumbles where viable candidates to win races were defeated by populist fools like Sharron Angle, Christine O'Donnell, Roy Moore, and Richard Mourdock. They also have a couple huge own goals with Todd Akins and George Allen. Anyone remember Allen? He was supposed to be a potential POTUS headliner. The Senate race is statewide, and the GOP keeps treating it like a local House race. And with it being a 6 year term, losing it needlessly, is devastating from a Senate control aspect.one can argue that Fetterman was a bad candidate while recognizing that Oz was even worse.

Republicans haven't picked many "normal" candidates since 2016.
?? What's wrong with mail in ballots? Oregon's had them for years. No fraud.
Since Metaphor doesn't understand what an accommodation is for, I'm going to ignore him and go back to the election results.
I said earlier some analysts had called CO-03 for Frisch, but they have taken that back, because they were wrong about what votes were left uncounted. Apparently there's been confusion from that district.
This guy from a local news outlet also called it for Frisch.
But it looks like he's also working with some false assumptions.
Dems still have a shot at the House so this could be an important seat. They did make a pickup in CO-08 which was also crucial to their path. So now it looks like CO-03 and the uncalled California seats are going to decide it. Might not know for days or weeks for some seats.
Says the guy who includes stupid gifs with half his posts.I was hoping this thread would not degenerate into reposting idiotic tweets by nobodies.
Currently, the House is looking to be between 215 to 220 (three seat majority) to 209 to 226 (9 seat majority). It is current 220 D to 212 R.The senate races in Arizona and Neveda are still too close to call. Looks like Arizona will go well for dems. Neveda is a toss-up. Obviously Georgia will be fun. But it appears to me that the biggest winner last Tuesday will be Joe Manchin.
Republicans getting either the House or the Senate basically is game over for democracy.I'm just relieved that there was no red wave. I didn't expect Stacey to win. It would have been like a miracle if she did. Despite my support of her, I think she ran a much better campaign in 2018, and the Republicans did an effectivel job of demonizing her this time around. Sure, there was likely a little bit of sexism in the mix, along with the usual Democratic voter apathy. Perhaps the biggest obstacle was that she ran against an incumbent, who despite some of his despicable policies, he never lied about the 2020 election and he didn't let Trump manipulate him into election denial. We will only be stuck with him for one more term. With the growing population in Georgia, the state might be a bit more blue in 2024. Hoping...
Yup. They sent us all absentee ballots. You could use them or you could vote in person.The Dems don’t have the Senate yet. Georgia is likely going to a runoff unless mail-ins pull heavy to Warnock. NV looks lost, the Dems need Georgia, poor Georgian streamers.
NV has lots of mail ins left, far from over.
GOP house means we have two years of deadlock. Ukraine has probably lost the war. No more investigation into the coup attempt.To the letter of the law, no. But The Dems gained a seat in the Senate 50-49, there will be a runoff, however. If history repeats (like it seemed to do last night) Dems finish 51-49. The GOP won the House and will have a 15 to 25 seat majority. The Dems gained a couple state legislatures. And anti-abortion sentiments were discarded everywhere from California to Kentucky. GOP made gains, but nothing like the alt-right media empire were bragging about beforehand.The ultimate outcome is still not fully counted. The control of the House and the control of the Senate are not yet determined.
He made it harder for Democrats to vote, fewer Democrats voted. Duh!
This. I'm still registered Republican because I'm more afraid of the extreme right than the extreme left and thus care more about voting for a moderate Republican than a moderate Democrat. We had a couple of moderates on the ballot, but none in my district. At least it produced a nice voter guide that told me who not to vote for in the nonpartisan races.one can argue that Fetterman was a bad candidate while recognizing that Oz was even worse. Had the Republicans picked a normal candidate they likely would have won.

I don't agree that the Republicans having a very slight majority will be so much of a problem for democracy. Sure, democracy is still fragile and the Republican majority means It will difficult to get lot of things done, but there are at least a handful of moderate Republicans left mostly in some of the Northern states who I think will be willing to work across the aisle. I think a lot of the more moderate Republicans are getting fed up with the crazies on the far right. I think it's likely that most Republicans in Congress are getting tired of Trump.Republicans getting either the House or the Senate basically is game over for democracy.I'm just relieved that there was no red wave.

I think you need to put that to @Jason HarvestdancerWhat is the exact mechanism that is being used for cheating?
