2022 Elections Thread

Clearly Senate material…

[BDKJMU]

To illustate how incompetent and broken California‘s election system is, the polls closed over 1 week ago, and CA is still only 73% reported, the lowest percentage of any state. 7 of 10 uncalled House races in CA. Unreal.

You don't want every vote counted and verified?

Stop the Count?

Its amazing how a majority of states can be 90%+ reported by midnight after the polls close…

[BDKJMU]

Not Trump’s fault.


Yet Cocaine Mitch spent $10 million defending that RINO Murkowski against another Republican. That was after they came up with that convoluted ranked choice voting in Alaska (Murkowski wouldn’t have survived a primary against Tishibaka without it).

Losers make excuses.

Trump endorsed 250+ conk candidates, and 230+ won..

California Law allows for Mail-in ballots, if post-marked by election day, and received by the following Tuesday to be counted.

California has gone to mail-in ballots, which increase participation, but take longer to count.

Counting is done at the County level. For example, Conservative Kern County, failed to allocate money for new tabulating machines, relying on ONE Machine.


No election ANYWHERE in the country is official, yet.

Kern County. Has anyone broken Reno Hightower's high school football records there? He was something. He even wore white shoes. Man, I hate Bakersfield. Taft High School football rules!

Quality Republican candidates would have won in AZ, GA & PA despite the funding differential. They lost because trump prioritized loyalty to him over nominating quality candidates and Republican control of the Senate.

trump is to blame for any liberals appointed to the SCOTUS in the next 2 years.

Post belongs in 118th Congress thread.

Mail in ballots provide greater security and greater access to all citizens. That should be the goal, not who can call a race first.

Does it matter if a race is called that night, or after a week? Election is not certified for weeks anyways, and they are not sworn in until the next year.

I'd rather have an accurate, secure count that affords as many citizens as possible the opportunity to cast a ballot. That's Democracy. YMMV

Those numbers are not accurate, since they do not reflect where the majority of the GOP Spending was from - independent PACS spending hundreds of millions. In Arizona, for example, Masters commercials were far more predominant in Phoenix, as were Master's signs.

Probably correct. The thing that would prevent that isif the non-Trump candidates had won the primaries, would the Trump-Cult support the "RINO", like in Arizona, of the top three Candidates, only Attorney General Mark Brnovich stood a chance against Kelly. But the Trumpistas hate him, since he refused to go along with the "Stolen Election" and agreed Joe Biden won the election fair and square.

Yup.

Both sides spend way too much.

You bet. Now just clean up the voter rolls so all you say can really happen.

2024 election will hinge on fractal programming.

[JohnStOnge]

The country is screwed. LSU did not make the 2 point conversion.

And now we are doomed to having demagogues who have no plan for actually governing the country able to throw spokes in the wheel for at least the next two years.

[JohnStOnge]

One positive is that, on the State level, the nut jobs running for key State offices in Swing States who are "election deniers" generally lost. Still a possibility that a nut job will be Attorney General of Arizona But at least that is just one.

[kalm]

This. Unfortunately her replacing will be equally corporatist.

[SuperHornet]

This sounds like something that would happen in #ohflorida, but no, it's actually the home of the #1 team in the country. Dude arrested and charged with rape days after losing an election for the State House of Representatives...to his own MOTHER. ROFL....

Things are different with a population that approaches 40,000,000

Things are different with a population that approaches 40,000,000

And a state with 22 million can do in 1 day what CA can’t do in 1 week.

Again, what does it matter how long it takes as long as every vote is correctly counted before certification date?

States with quicker counts are the most restrictive towards voting options. As a true American Patriot, I want as many people voting as possible, by any legal, controllable method.

FYP, agreed and I would include voter ID as a control.

I've said it before, I don't see why we can't have a secure voting app on our phones. Counting would be so much faster without paper ballots. We could minimize the ballot harvesting.

Can’t guarantee that phones or online service couldn’t be hacked. The only foolproof way is in person.
