The most watched race tonight will likely be the republican Pennsylvania Senate primary race between Kathy Barnette, David McCormick and Mehmet Oz. Pennsylvania polls close at 8:00pm EST.
I would guess the majority that didnt understand what the splitter comments meant – are seeing it now.
Karl Rove’s goal is to get each group split to hate each other, and not him pulling it off.
That’s one thing that it not such a problem with the Aussie preference system. We vote in order of our preference and if our first choice has only a small number of votes, then our vote gets moved to our second choice. And it keeps going down the list until the vote lands with the top candidates in that area.
That’s not to say there aren’t other issues with our system. But it means that I can vote for minor freedom loving parties first, knowing that my vote will most likely land on the major conservative party and not just be thrown away. Ultimately, maybe there will hopefully be a few freedom loving minor parties and independents in with a chance.
I disagree, the Australian system is next to useless, it is our loved preferential voting system that has elected several of our most disastrous ALP governments in the last forty years.
Fraud! Voter fraud. You really think this was going to be a fair election where there was such a thing as choice! 😂 The splitter vote doesn’t matter when the election is rigged. A dementia patient didn’t have to leave his basement and got “81”M votes. Kathy was in this race before Oz. The establishment controls the machines which controls the votes. The illusion is choice and splitter candidates. Those saying just vote for Oz should see that now as well.
Kathy Barnette is just not well known in Pennsylvania while Dr Oz is a celebrity doctor and very popular with Democrat and Independent woman voters.
Not to beat a dead horse but a splitter candidate isn’t the issue…

If Oz pulls this out, our only hope is that he reciprocates Trump’s loyalty. McCormell would be a disaster.
He will in part and definitely more than McCormick but it’s still a Blue State and he has a general election to win. Only way to keep him in the MAGA saddle is with a massive turnout in November
McCormell…
I see what you did there. 🙂
it just increased to 3000 for McCormick
Oz by a nose! Hopefully! But it seems there will be a recount even if he pulls ahead
The usual cheating is happening again. Doesn’t matter what side. PA is f##cked
The illustrious PA General Assembly sat their asses on their hands and refused to act on Election Procedures Reform.
Look out what Club for growth do and do the opposite. Ultimate rinos and warmongers.
refresher course – just resaw it and read – looking for Karl Rove articles in the search bar to the right.

When Steve Moore left CFG, they went RINO big time with amnesty.
2700 votes between McCormick and Oz right now.

Oz has now slashed it down to just over 0.25%. That’s recall territory, but he’s likely to take the lead with Delaware and Bucks.
Wow, very tight race in PA. Warroom analysts said today, what happens in PA will happen in GA. Rove/McConnell vs PTrump. Rinos vs Maga. GOPe vs the ‘new, reformed and restored’ republican party. Very interesting and seems to be very much a conflicted republican electorate.
No clear decision but there are some factors like the top three dividing votes that should have put one of them as the favorite. Done on purpose?? Probably. MAGA has two leaning more for the MAGA vote it seems and one Rino garnering the other third who might just get it because of that and he’s a much weaker candidate from what can be taken out of the reports.
A Rove election trick or just a badly thought out race by repubs for Senate. Of course we knew it would be an all out fight between MAGA and GOPe. It sure is.
Is GA. running a whole pack of MAGAs against one RINO, like PA. is?
Open primary = operation chaos against Perdue, who is probably in on it anyway.
They have the GOPe out in force helping Kemp. Guess that’s what the analysts were referring to in GA.
Big deal for MAGA is keeping Kemp under 50% so there would be a run off. McConnell and friends are trying to prevent that but the crown jewel for them is the Senate race in PA. Their goal is a lock on Senate full of rinos in McConnell’s pocket. He and his cohorts want badly to defeat MAGA and PTrump, whom they obviously dislike immensely, in the Senate. They seem to want to prove they are still the major force of the repub party. Who knows what’s really going on. We don’t that’s for sure.
The analysis indicated that if the GOPe is successful in PA, then GA would follow. Not my take, just repeating what was said.
The jury is still out on whether enough of the Rag Tag Bunch of Conservative Misfits fell for mcconnell’s splinter candidates to throw the senate race to the GOPe …….
Maybe they have learned their lesson, again……
Or not, they could be GOPe interlopers masquerading as MAGAs.
As long as the RNC is running the show in the contested primaries, they are quite formidable unfortunately. The big money goes round and round the merry go round of corruption.
MAGA is bigger than GOPe now, easily.
But MAGA needs to dump out the RINOs that grift their way in, to solidify their vote. RINOs infest into things like termites.
In PA, the MAGA vote on the Senate race was torn in two, and there were also many undecideds as a result.
The GOPe in PA runs its ship like Democrats do, but with greater illusion of choice. It’s a syndicate, a small club.
Sean Parnell would have walked away with it.
You can blame the GOPe.
Only way you do that strategy is by letting your “chosen” Party Leader pick the candidates and you back them.
There is very little talk on Warroom about Georgia having an open primary, but it has been mentioned a few times via Sundance. With no democratic opponent for the disgusting face of Stacy Abrams, it would be no surprise if “The Mules” were somehow activated to pull Kemp over the line. Hope MAGA is super engaged next Tuesday….

I’m watching Politico’s results page. What’s up with the reported vote percentages? I swear it said 99% in a few minutes ago. Now says 93%. Whatever the reason it’s allowed Oz to get closer to McCormick.
Yes, these wild swings in the vote count percentage are disturbing.
Saw that also
Politico has been a train wreck all nite.
CNN is much better.
I will switch. Thank you!
Try Redstate also.
Bucks is the most reliable MAGA ring county, so that is where McCormick could be caught.
Otherwise, it will be difficult.
It was just reported on NewsMax that Bucks county has been trending Oz and there are still a lot of votes there.
How big is Bucks County?
Let me put it this way. When Trump comes to SE Pa, his preference is for Upper and Central Bucks County.
Smaller than MontCo, but less purple. Except for the lower end, which is deep blue.
Lower end the corrupt end!!
Pretty big. Eastern PA, on the road to Philly.
Yes…only 52.6% counted in Bucks
Franklin County presents some hope also…only 69.9% in
Hope so! Can’t let McConnell steal this one
Oz can still win this if Politico’s numbers are correct. They say 95.2% of the votes are in and there have been 858,977 votes counted so far. So that means they are expecting 902,286 votes which means 43,309 votes remain to be counted. If the difference between Oz and McCormick is <3000 it’s certainly reasonable that Oz can close the gap. If the remaining votes were 10,000 or fewer I would say it’s not likely.
I think an apology is required from me for a comment I posted on the previous page. Fatigue factor: I confused candidates’ offices in 2 different PA races.
Deepest apologies to anyone who may have picked up the remarks and your head started to spin. I was very late to the party tonight.
Blame it on contact buzz from looking at Hunter Biden’s emails.
McCormick speaking now. They are really happy. Feels like victory from their campaign. They still have mail in ballots to count tomorrow which benefited McCormick.
Of course he is because that means they have a couple days for the RINOs to come up with the votes to steal it.
Why aren’t they already counted? Probably getting filled out tonight now that they know how many to manufacture.
they dont know how much they need until AFTER the election – hence their wins always come AFTER the election
McCormick leading in the mail-in mule vote by about 10K.
Stuffed into 50 different mailboxes between 2 and 3am. By one person.
Uniparty loves the mail in ballot stealing mechanism to much to ever give it up.

While we wait for PA, because that’s all we can do, people down here in North Carolina think it’s the real story of the night.
A former governor very popular with the base got completely blown away, may lose every single county.
Plus, GOP significantly outperformed in turnout.
Philadelphia Inquirer shows a mere 672 vote gap with >99% of results reported. https://www.inquirer.com/politics/election/inq2/pennsylvania-primary-results-2022-20220517.html
McC lead down to 769 votes!
Total number of votes counted thus far (more than 1 million) greatly exceeds the estimate Politico had (902,xxx). Hmmm.
Politico! Ha! They just lowered the total % in again
Haha! Philadelphia Inquirer did as well. Maybe they’re getting their numbers from Politico. 🙂
screen shot these people if you can
Re splitter theory in PA … I’m not convinced that most of the Barnette votes would have gone to Oz. Maybe none of them would have! I don’t think it was a waste for people to vote for her and try to make her win.
its about waking up and realizing we need to be one sword – together – piercing the uniparty.
We need to have more appealing candidates then. I totally get why people dislike Oz. If I were in PA I would have voted for him only because I think he’s the better candidate in the general.
the example was demonstrated tonight. this isnt theory anymore.
we need MAga pre-primaries then – so we can hash the differences out before the primary.
Interesting idea, WB.
What we really need is a separate party.
I think a lot of them would have gone to Oz if the MSM, etc. hadn’t bashed her so hard w/ lies.
Yea – whoever informed Oz to attack Barnette was an idiot.
hopefully he kept his tone as questioning and not agressive.
Barnette was the better candidate between those two.
But a PDJT endorsement is still worth ten points, even to a cadaver.
A more MAGA candidate with a PDJT endorsement would have won this by now.
See, e.g., Doug Mastriano.
It is what it is.
10 points would not have help Barnette…look at the numbers….
10 points would’ve put her at 34 something. She’d be beating both Oz and McC.
34.8%
You just keep lying to yourself and you will sleep better every night…..
You’re in denial!
Too close to call.

PENNSYLVANIA CALL
McCormick’s lead steadily evaporating from 7 to 2K. And I in several counties saw a 9 point spread for Oz with EDay votes
OZ WINS PRIMARY
11:06 PM · May 17, 2022·
Cont…
2/. This is what I am seeing so far in 5 counties in SE PA (similar patterns elsewhere)
Absentee: 40-29% McCormick over Oz
Election Day: 37-32% Oz over McCormick
PA (esp on the Republican side) is NOT like Oregon – it is a state with a strong Election Day voting tradition.
11:54 PM · May 17, 2022
If Oz wins, the best middle finger to the rinos.
And to the Dems, who will be seething. They hate when the Trump endorsements win.
Oz – is a Walk Away.
appeals to that
hence the Appealing to Anyone ready to leave the Democrat Lie.
I was going to emulate Fox News and award McConnell, I mean McCormick, the win but it is very close with 1% left to count.
Cawthorn’s close loss was surprising to me but I heard he had allegedly made some “embarrassing mistakes” if true. Was this true or did miserable Mitch’s hijinks contribute to Madison’s loss to a state Senator?
More than embarrassing. Infantile, maybe even downright weird.
I think he had gotten a big head.
vids of jumping all over a male friend on a bed, naked or near to it.
Totally classless, juvenile behavoir.
Oz is just performing too weakly in the Philly ring counties so far.
And McCormick was overwhelming in Allegheny and the western end, and built up an early strong lead.
We’ll see if Bucks saves this, as there are a lot of MAGA folk there. DelCo is less certain, but very under reported presently.
The jury is still out on whether enough of the Rag Tag Bunch of Conservative Misfits fell for mcconnell’s splinter candidates to throw the senate race to the GOPe …….
Maybe they have learned their lesson.
Or not, they most likely are GOPe interlopers masquerading as MAGAs……. need to remember that in GA and the other states where the GOPe tries to implement their splitter strategy.

With total reporting hitting 90%, McCormick’s lead falls to .14%, with just 1622 votes separating him from Oz.
Holy smokes, what a race.
Being reported now that spread is 1600 votes with several counties still reporting.
NewsMax said based on NYTs reporting, they think Oz could take the lead.
Oz speaking now. He says they feel confident they will win.
Razer thin. I hope he pulls it off.
I would imagine they will have to have a recount. This close?
Within 0.5%.

I’ve seen enough. Gov. Brad Little (R) defeats Trump-endorsed Lt. Gov. Janice McGeachin (R) in the #IDGOV GOP primary.
It looked like they just had early numbers for ID.
The jury might still be out on that race.
Nathaniel Rakich
@baseballot
Could #PAsen (R) be any tighter? McCormick 31.2%, Oz 31.1%—a margin of 768 votes!
Most of the remaining votes are in Bucks County (which is voting for Oz) and Delaware County (which is voting for McCormick).
11:48 PM · May 17, 2022
DelCo is more “machine” than Bucks, if you know what I mean.
It will be up to Bucks to save this, IMO.
And Oz’s lead in Bucks is not all that impressive.
It’s the only ring county he is leading in.
And absentees.

Oz 33%
Barnette 22%

It’s an incredibly impressive win.

Trump candidate getting clobbered in Idaho.
Idaho is big democrat strong hold. California transplants. After the last year how can anyone still vote Democrat? Probably crossed over on purpose to vote against a Trump candidate
Idaho is a democrat stronghold?
Yes because of California transplants
https://ballotpedia.org/Idaho_gubernatorial_election,_2022_(May_17_Republican_primary)
Front the link…
According to the Idaho Press’s Betsy Russell, an incumbent Idaho governor has not been challenged in a primary by the lieutenant governor since 1938.[3]
The Idaho Statesman’s Ryan Suppe said of Little and McGeachin, “The two former allies … have had a tense relationship in recent years.”[2]
Much of that tension has revolved around responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the Idaho Capital Sun’s Clark Corbin, “McGeachin encouraged businesses to violate [Little’s] stay-home public safety order from 2020.”[4]
In two instances in 2021, McGeachin issued executive orders related to COVID-19 measures—the first, while Little was at a Republican Governors Association meeting, banning mask mandates, and the second, while Little was at the U.S.-Mexico border, expanding a prohibition against state entities requiring vaccination or testing.
Little rescinded both orders the following day.[5][6][7][8][9]
Well that’s not good.
definitely greater than 5% (twitter reference)
Only 1,000 behind
Well that worse than before when he was 750 behind
recount?
At this point going the wrong way
Pulling for Oz!
Barnette at 25% is impressive and disappointing at the same time!
It looks like Mastriano won the Primary for Governor in PA. Yabba-dabba-doo. Excuse me if I am repeating myself, but my local rag newspaper, which mostly picks up whatever the AP article they can find, put at the bottom of his bio in their “Voting Guide” that Mastriano was outside the Capitol on Jan 6th. Stupid.
And don’t they understand that this is why people voted for him? This is thrilling to me. I signed up for Mastriano’s emails and newsletters the day I learned he went to Arizona to learn about the audit procedures. Going to his website to send him a congratulains.
And yoy, I got a prerocrded call from MAGAA today with a reminder to vote for OZ. I wouldn’t do that if you paid me too. But I loved hearing President DJ Trumps voice nonetheless. We live in interesting times, and it doesn’t feel like a curse anymore.
I don’t know about you but the “times” feels like a curse to me
And they must do really well financially to still be dems. They are likely techies.

Look at all those democratic voters.
People have done gone lost their minds
We have to accept the converts and stop chasing “true conservatives”
Let the disaffected Dems in the party and if they can lead, let them lead despite their record
Elon Musk said he will vote Republican after being a Dem his whole adult life. Are we going to do purity tests on him too?
Looks like Oz just took the lead
Really? Where’s Mass Psychosis with his vote totals? I hope you’re right.
Maybe….It would be a good thing for the General Election; he will not have to fight over the “China” involvement that McCormick is going to have to fight.
We will see what happens.
Oz is up
Bucks added votes. He up around 700
There are “mail in votes”, apparently McCormick is expected to win those
Wow!
What’s the twit work around w/o an account?
Private window used to work for me, but not anymore.
Someone had figured out another way, but I don’t remember what it is..
I’m having the same problem
Yeah doesn’t work for me anymore
I noticed that too.
What are you talking about
Trying to read twitter w/o an account.
USe NITTER. download that. Twitter can’t follow/track you either. Videos work now too. some have to reload and give permission to load.
When I get the popup window to sign up I clear cookies for twitter then I can read twit’s until it happens again, then I clear cookies again
I’m clueless. Don’t even know what “clearing cookies” means for twit. I’ve never accepted any cookies for Twit?
It’s weird, cuz it’s not happening all the time.
Just happens like maybe every couple hours.
It’s back into “not letting me read” mode.
I use firefox on a laptop. There is an icon/symbol thing right before https in the address bar. I click on it and it gives me the option to clear cookies for the site I am visiting.
Interesting. Wonder if Brave has same?
wow. Just found the icon on Brave, Harry.
There is *indeed* a “cookies” thing, which I guess I could click on and maybe remove twit specific cookies!
Clear history.
That clears cookies.

Bucks County is pulling its weight at the end.
It will be razor thin either way.
Amazing how the last 5% all seemed to go one way… odd isn’t it?
Are they going Oz?
yes
True, always in the dead of the night
With Oz finally up in PA. The updates on CNN mysteriously appear to have stopped.
Hanging on 91% in. Time to round up some more fake ballots.
Always
Oz is ahead now by a few hundred votes.
On CNN link.
637 votes.
He was ahead by over 700 so not going in the right direction
Mail in votes, always the mail in votes
35,000 mail in votes yet to be counted and they say Oz is losing them by over 9%
Who said that and how would they know?
So in other words McCormick’s winning by about 5, 000.
MSNBC is good on TV.
?
Sorry. The Election coverage is good.
This is a 600 vote race.
and it appears the counting has stopped again.
Must find more votes for Mitch’s man
35,000 mail in votes
And a mess in Lancaster County involving thousands.
This will take days.
Send in the lawyer troop ships.
I really need to find NC country results; I need to see if Ted Budd completed the 100 country sweep over McCrory. What a royal ass-kicking. Republicans are going to flip the State Supreme Court this fall. No doubt in my mind.
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/05/17/us/elections/results-north-carolina.html
I think McCrory won Mecklinburg Co- he was mayor of Charlotte yers ago.
swimeasy, at my link above/below it is reported (with 95% in) that Mechlinburg Co. is a 44%/44% dead heat….
They report McCrory is leading without providing totals.
I can tell you that he isn’t well liked, even when he was Mayor. Putting in Toll Lanes in No. Meck/So. Iredell cost him in 2016. I knew he was running for Burr’s seat in…mid 2018; everyone knew Burr was leaving this year then; heck he didn’t want to run in 2016. But he despises Trump for pulling him across the line. It’s an open secret. I’d love for Budd to win all 100 counties. To see him TIED right now percentage-wise in Meck…oh mama.
I am soooooooooo glad that Ted Budd won. I liked him in person. I saw McCrory and Walker speak and when they didn’t realize people were looking, they seemed like they were in collusion. I think that they were hoping that by talking bad about Ted Budd, Walker could act as a spoiler that would allow McCrory to win. Thankfully, people realized that McCrory would be a RINO and people are so tired of RINOs.
I hope the State Supreme Court flips. Trey Allen won and will be running against Sam Ervin IV. Trey seems like such a good human being, very intelligent and yet quite humble. I didn’t know he was a former Marine until reading his biography.
