Oh, so you were FOR ballot harvesting after you were AGAINST it.
Interesting.

Not trying to dogpile but I ran some numbers on black voters because statistics are funny things. Yes, the results went from 91% - 6% to 92% - 8%, reducing the differential from 85pp to 84pp in Trump's favor.

But, black voter turnout increased from 16.4M voters to 18.9M voters. That means while Trump's black vote increased from 1.0M to 1.5M voters, the Democratic vote increased from 14.9M to 17.4M voters. Below is the margin of black voters by which the Democrat beat Trump in each election.

2016 - 13.9M black voters
2020 - 15.9M black voters

People hate Trump.


Good stats, good post!

And we don't just hate Trump, we hate people who don't also hate Trump.

Hating people who Like Trump isn't enough! We hate people who don't also HATE Trump!

You hate cancer, right?
You hate the concept of atomic war, right?
You hate …. the Stanford Band, right???

There is no in between. Hate is HATE!
And we REALLY HATE Trump!!!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

This wasn't that surprising to me. The primary followed the same pattern where caruso led initially, but Bass easily passed once they counted all the mail-in / drop-off ballots.

Given Caruso's stated desire to help the city, I eagerly await his construction of hundreds of homes to help address the homelessness crisis.


If he's a billionaire, and wants to help the city, he can get started on building those homes win or lose.
But, where's he going to put them?

We've gone from election day to ballot harvesting month and rigged elections (see Arizona). Then Mitch McConnel, Rona McDaniel, and the GOPe working against the MAGA movement. Just like the Tea Party. McConnell spent $8 Million in Alaska where two GOP candidates were battling it out. Unneeded. Then starved worthy GOP candidates in New Hampshire and elsewhere of funds.

Republicans need to start ballot harvesting until election rules are changed.
Look who has more baseless conspiracy theories. I bet your sports teams never really lose, they just have games stolen by the officials. Get used to losing, you and Trump will continue to fail harder with each passing election.


Maricopa County Election problems.

Early voting, largely Democrat: 0% had problems

Day of Voting, largely Republican: 60% had extended, and often numerous, problems.

Might be hard to believe now, but there was a time when Republicans used early and mail-in voting a lot more than Democrats. That's before Trump told everyone not to trust mail ballots during the pandemic, so now of course the conservatives are dead-set against it.

Yep. Absentee ballot vote used to swing Republican because of all the military members voting overseas.

Now that other people are figuring out how convenient it is and how it is easier to vote they don't like it.

Kind of weird that the county of native son Barry Goldwater would have such voting problems, eh?

You've been so totally WRONG about everything that you've been posting here leading up to the midterm election, that anyone with a decent amount of shame would have set sail two weeks ago.

But all you do is cry and whine.
Post and promote more conspiracy theories.

Did you ever participate in youth sports growing up?
Ever play high school football, basketball, or baseball?
Water polo, Swimming, Tennis, or Track & Field?

Did you cry and whine every time you got beat?

Asking for a friend.

I would think county voting sites are not run according to party affiliation (ie Republicans do not run Republican precincts).

If it is true that some 60% of Republican precincts had problems and Dem precincts did not, that's a problem.

That problem is exacerbated by the fact one of the candidates runs elections for the state

It is also a problem that Democrats argued against extending voting hours in the precincts with problems when their entire party line is the sanctity of every vote. This tends to demonstrate they are partisan hacks looking to manipulate the system to their advantage, not Puritans of the vote. (Note, Dems successfully excluded Green Party presidential candidates from being on the ballot in PA and WI in 2020 because the candidates didn't file papers in person….I guess those Covid exceptions to explicit statutory language only matter when they work against Rs).

You said "if it is true". That's your biggest problem. You still haven't figured out who is lying to you.

This allows the "good" GOPers to ignore actual GOP wrongdoing to focus on "potential" dem wrongdoing. That's how the GOP fear machine works.

Yep. "If it is true" (it's not). Then 2 paragraphs about the horrors of Democrats based on the lie. Tequila and others need to take some ownership of the lies they spread and who it is in service to (Trump and his crowd).

t4k used the same exact play with abortion this summer. Ignored the actual harm that everyone knew would result from Dobbs so that he could focus on the "potential" harms that were still purely theoretical 50 years post-Roe.

As atrocity after atrocity rolls in due to that horrendous theocratic ruling, t4k acknowledges the horrors but still assiduously notes that there were other potential harms mitigated perhaps in some way by the draconian laws that went into effect as a result of the ruling. You know, all those theoretical post-birth abortions and what not.

For no reason other than his instinct.
Well, he needed to have something to blame it on so he could claim fraud in case he lost, so this became his attempt at a "trump card".

Dems are doing way better than anticipated by many pundits and doing it with large margins in several races. It's going to be fascinating to understand the why.


Do we understand why yet? It's still happening. Has been since the Republican Supreme Court took away some women's rights.
