Through the years one of the things CTH has always emphasized is the accuracy of your election ‘sense’ ground reports when contrast against the national media narrative.
So, this thread is for you to share what the sense is around your community. How motivated are the people in your neighborhood? What is the sense of this election cycle? If you have voted already, how was the turnout for early voting in/around your area?
Use this thread to share your own sense of how things look from your perspective. If comfortable include the general region you are describing so that others can get a feel for your impression of the midterm election this year.
CTH will host several election day update and ground reports tomorrow as election day voting gets underway. However, in the interim, what do you see and hear in the conversations around your town, hamlet, community or precinct?
Historically the sense of the election you share has been remarkably consistent with the outcome. Are the people in your circle enthusiastic about removing Democrats from their seats?
The attack ads on Mastriano we’re brutal, twisted out of context, and likely effective. They were non stop.
I don’t think Mastriano had the money to fight it as he is opposed by state/federal GOPe.
However, I saw an interview with him and Rick Santorun a few days ago. Santorun said he has never seen a more effective ground team as he had with Mastriano. They both sounded upbeat.
So, it will be money/ads vs ground game test.
I don’t think Mastriano will be able to overcome that opposition. Am still hoping and praying he pulls it off.
Seems the same thing has been happening to Kari Lake in AZ.
Voters are not being swayed the same way this cycle as they have in past cycles. jmo
If in PA the candidates are addressing the unecessary energy crisis, especially reminding the voters that their state has natural resources to resolve the issue, then the attack ads won’t matter.
I think most voters think: drill, Baby, drill!
Doug had about 500 people Tuesday in his Centre County stop. Everyone who sees him thinks he is an excellent choice….the problem is he was totally hidden in PA and the Weasel, Shapiro, refused to debate him! No one said a word. I never knew how corrupt this state was until 2020.
Mastriano is very impressive, a great patriot with solid plans to turn around PA as well as help the country with fossil fuel energy production & distribution. Unfortunately, not only did the GOP/RNC not support/fund Mariano, they also employed the repugnant Rove to support Shapiro. Shameful. I think Mastriano would have won otherwise. Praying that his subterranean support is much larger than anyone realizes, and he pulls off the shocker.
I pray so to!
There is a rocking chair screaming Rove’s name, even has a white board on the back, wish he would go sit in it.
Rove has changed. Guess his Dubya connections tainted him for good. On Water’s world last night. He truly is a turd flower.
I hope Mastriano wins, I really like him, and if he does lose I hope he hangs around for another run in another office.
Has Rick found something else to wear besides sweater vests?
I follow him on FB. MAGA, former military, (family military) patriot, pro-life Christian. I’m here in central Texas and have sent donations twice!
The demons won’t sleep for the next week trying to steal this election. Be vigilant!

Given the fuel burn on the 757, I hope PDJT mentions the fuel shortage in the Southeast in Ohio tonight, along with Brandon’s cuts in coal production. Ohio is coal country too. The largest dragline in the world, Big Muskie, once made its home there.
southern Indiana north of Lousyville. Indiana is triple blue but all are weak. Local is blue but still corrupt. School board is lost forever, splitters always work.
I’m a poll manager in SC. Not much effort here on the part of the democrats. I sense strong showing for the gop here. Support coming from non traditional Republicans.
Fraud, fraud and more fraud.. Don’t forget they just stole Brazil.
I hope I’m wrong but I think this election will likely go down as the most elaborate sleight of hand ever in history..
While we will likely win all sorts of obvious seats and may even get a slight majority.. they will maintain a strong position by making up ground elsewhere..
South East PA here …
I wasn’t able to do voter outreach this election.
However, I did talk to one of the precinct chairs who was doing voter contacts.
His observations were:
1. The Dobbs decision has motivated liberal women in our state
2. Voters are so ANGRY this election. He expects a huge huge turnout this election.
3. He was talking to households even if they only had one registered Republican and the rest Democrats. He had several of those households say they were ALL voting Republican this year (even every household Dem) in those mixed registration households.
PA is a difficult state to gauge. So we will see.
I also think if the Dems attempt to steal any elections….the PA ones would be top on their list.
……………..
So the fifth dem canvasser stopped by today. After identifying me by my full name, asked me whether I supported Mark Kelly, I said no. Then he asked if I supported Blake Masters, I said no. He was – gobsmacked. Son, I can lie to you all day long. It got me thinking – they’ve only asked if I supported Kelly – never what I was concerned about, issues, nothing but whether I supported, not if I felt he had done anything for Arizona. Just sayin’.
Dems have outspent Republicans. No matter how much I block their addresses one still got through, offering to pay me $250 per week to turn out voters for them! If I weren’t seeking information about the Republicans I wouldn’t know much. The news is insulting. The ads on TV are insulting. The mailers are insulting. I wonder how many feel the same as me.

Tonight is the Blood Moon eclipse , I set my alarm to see it, whether I get up is another story, but I hope that Moon is sucking the life out of the Democrats. Bring us a blood bath victory tomorrow in every state for every GOP candidate.
Don’t trust kirk. Isn’t he and his org advocates of open borders?
Only thing I know for sure is Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzager are not going to win even if they vote for themselves a great day for America

We have 5 potentially favorable breaks:
1) Independents going our way 60-40
2) Hispanics surging our way
3) Depressed Democrat base
4) Our base blows away turnout in a massive way tomorrow
5) Suburban women continue to break even darker red than people expect

When I see the demographic stats like this, horrible economic data (main voter issue), and deep blue states being competitive like NY, etc….
I find myself wondering why that hasn’t all carried forward into my purple state of PA like it has everywhere else? Polls look like a normal year….neck and neck races with Dem 3-4% ahead.
It just makes me wonder if the “silent Mastriano voter” is a real thing.
Ignore the polls, except Rich Baris at People’s Pundit.
But Democrats still count the votes.

Charlie was all worked up today. I wanna see Chuck Schumer go down, that would be the greatest beat down ever.
Spent some time holding signs for my brother running as a constitutional conservative here in the loony liberal state of Massachusetts. If I wasn’t certain of systemic voter fraud I’d say he has a fighting chance. Lots of honks and waves, a few middle fingers and snarls. Maybe some of these loons have finally woken up!
I did sign waving for Trump. What I found amazing is some women giving the one figure salute, yet others in the car secretly giving a thumbs up.
Central VA here. People are more optimistic than ever after seeing Youngkin win. Not a big fan but he is better than the D alternative. I think the optimism is that we won knowing there were no voting law changes after 2020 so we CAN prevent the steal. I’m not as optimistic since more is at stake with the regime than in 2021.
Youngking has been hitting the road hard for candidates. I will give him credit for that. He wants to run for POTUS and Miyares who I absolutely loathe wants to move up the food chain. That guy makes me ill, as in like creepy ill.
Middlesex County London ON CANADA… Just had the Local Elections about a week ago & most of the Candidates still have their signs up.
A guy by the name of Josh Morgan is now the Major of London & he beat out a Muslim Woman for the position. (NO this is the Other London, not the one in England… if your wondering)
Must be a Lot of Trump Haters in this area, as I did not see even ONE Trump MAGA Sign!
Thanks to McConnell and the 2020 election gift of Rank Choice Voting, Alaska could end up sending “The Fish Party” to congress. Yep, “The Fish Party”. Murkowski, funded by McConnell, has endorsed the Democrat Native Alaskan, Petola and they are running as a team under “The Fish Party”. Murkowski is doing what she did last election after being beat in the primary. She’s pandering to the natives and Democrats.
DC pumped huge money into Nick Begich to foil Palin. Begich says the right things now on his endless adds but, in the beginning, he trashed Trump as a lower 48 celebrity. I think it backfired so now he talks about “What made America Great”. Go figure.
I must say, I am disappointed in Palin. She’s been MIA in my neck of the woods.
I haven’t talk to a single person that supports Murkowski. Everyone I know is voting for Tshibaka but she’ll have to dominate statewide enough to overcome the stinking rank choice foolery. Same with Palin.
We’ll have to wait a week or so and pray for favorable results to miraculously get belched out of the Oh So Safe and Accurate Chinese voting machine thingy. God help us.
Why did alaskins vote for ranked choice.
I believe it passed the same way Trump supposedly lost. I don’t know a single person who voted for it. They’ve been holding training sessions to teach people how to use it. Most people have no idea what it is. Some people may have thought it was a voting reform amendment the way it was worded, but most had no idea.
I believe it passed by about 2000 total votes statewide after waiting weeks for the machines to “count” the votes.
If we have enough yes votes to hold a state constitution convention, then we hope to rid ourselves of rank choice and get our legislators in order. Our lawless state government is a train wreck. I guess it will depend on whether it takes a day to count the votes or two weeks to “count” the votes.
yes, how did that happen? I’m not really sure what it is but if it’s a ‘pick 3 out of 5 candidates’ and I really only like 1, I only vote for 1 – better odds for my choice.
As I understand ranked choice voting that ballot would be marked foul and my vote rejected?
Yes. I believe Sarah Palin received the most first choice votes in the primary but didn’t make the first-round threshold, so the least likely candidate won in the third round. It’s set up so that you cannot have just one choice.
I remember the add that ran in Anchorage at the time. It was a teenage girl asking her mother to pick up a certain brand of potato chips from the store and if they didn’t have that particular brand then pick up another brand and if that brand was unavailable to get a third brand. See! You get your choice of potato chips! That’s how rank choice voting works! You get to choose!
Voting for the direction and future of our country is like choosing potato chips! It’s just that easy!
Rural central VA here. More interest in the school board races than county/ city/ towns. Really haven’t seen much of an uptick in local party engagement or election process. Could be different in other regions or the metro areas.
school boards are so corrupt in my 60k bedroom community. Incumbents run splitters and it always works.
Indiana here. I am now involved in elections.
I worked the Primary and this is my first general election. We have machines, but they are verified by Democrats and Republicans before we start, both after set up this morning and again tomorrow morning at 5:00 am. We get all zeros. Polls open at 6:00. I am a clerk, there is one Democrat and one Republican clerk. We can watch the number of people we check in as the day goes, then we will run a final report on all of the machines at the end and they should match our registration numbers. This election, one electronic machine at each site will have a paper verification machine attached. After someone votes, they will select “verify” and the list of candidates they voted for will show on the paper, then if it is two pages, they will select ‘verify’ again to see the rest. If everything looks right they can push the red VOTE button. We had one watcher come during the primaries. Hope we have even more for this election. The more people involved the better. It all seems very tight and honest to me. I don’t know about the absentee ballots, but I happen to know the two girls who run it for our county and they are very trustworthy and childhood friends of mine.
They say that we have had a huge early turnout for a midterm and we are prepared for a large turnout tomorrow.
God bless our elections tomorrow and shut the mouths of liars and come against the plans of our enemies. God, save our country, please. In Jesus’s powerful and mighty Name, Amen!
THANK YOU for Working the Polls. I Told the County Party that I’d work IF NEEDED – No Call Back.

Can you at least skim the Mesa County Forensic Report #2 before tomorrow? Even if your machines aren’t Dominion, all the brands are turning out to have similar issues. Look at what the report says about problems with internal wireless devices and uncertified software. (See the Critical Discoveries on page 8 of the PDF.)
You need to understand the test you mention proves almost nothing. I could program a machine to show one thing to the voter and then tally something else. Or to do that only between, say 9AM and 3PM on November 8th, 2022. And I am not even a serious programmer. Unless you can see electromagnetic pulses inside the machine, you have no idea what the machine is actually doing, you are stuck with having to trust the programmer.
Best thing you can do right now is keep your own hand count of votes on any physical ballots that go into the machines and compare with the results from the machines. If they don’t match, you’d better do a hand count of everything, and inform voters who voted electronically that their vote may not have counted!
(Go to Cause of America’s library page https://causeofamerica.org/TheLibrary and search on Mesa County Forensic Report to see the three reports.)
I miss Rush so much today! Remember how he used to sign off on the Monday before the election .
“We meet at dawn.”
Flood the zone tomorrow, be on the lookout for anything that doesn’t look right at polling stations, and don’t be afraid to ask questions.
See you all on the other side….
Amen!
And reminder: vote LATE in the day.
That way they won’t be able to “adjust “ the votes they need in time, as they have been proven to do…
God bless us and America!
I’m in Arizona and I’m voting early in the day. Just in case we have a repeat of “oh gee, we ran out of Republican ballots, so sorry.” If that happens, maybe I’ll be able to vote later in the day. I won’t give up!
I plan on voting later in the day, and camping out until I get my ballot (I believe that once you’re inside before closing time you’re good).
Over on Truth Social folks are talking about checking the WiFi signals in poll stations once inside (looking for election machine signals). Taking photos of the screen (perhaps with another phone or digital camera). Then repeating the next day after polls are closed.
TBH, not much to report when living in the forest in a state with all mail-in ballots.
I’m rooting for Drazan to become the first GOP governor in Oregon in 35 years. Could happen. Far closer than in years past.
At least in North Texas … the democrat TV adds have a been repeat of the same add for the past 2 months.
Greg Abbot, the Republicans and their rich republican friends have “killed thousands of Texans”, left thousands without healthcare, schools are totally unsafe (guns) and has denied women their rights to kill babies if they desire.
AG Paxton is under Federal Investigations for being crook and his opponent is all in for womens rights to kill babies.
Beto and Garza rarely shows their faces in public and if the do it is in a small setting with hardly anyone present.
The Republicans have mainly run the same 2-Abbot adds: Beto is a Biden Acolyte bent on wrecking the state and Abbot is a good guy, protects the border and has done allot.
There has been a sporadic Paxton add about him fighting to protect our rights and from criminals allowed in by Biden.
The parking lot for one of the Allen, TX voting locations sits opposite my gym. The parking lot has been full every time I pass by, indicating allot of early voters. Of note is that there is rarely a candidate or representative for the candidates present, which is something new. In the past the Republicans ALL put in cameos or had a Rep standing by the poll places. The democrats would show up and leave after a few minutes when NOBODY gave them the time of day.
The majority of signs appear at major highway intersections. Nearly ALL republican with 1 Beto sign and 1 make TX Blue sign.
Greeting fellow Allen Eagle and Conservative Treeper! I usually work out at Fitness Connection and then walk over to City Hall to vote. Although lately I have been voting at the Service Center (Bus Barn) because the lines are very short.
Hello fellow Eagle. I also use Fitness Connection. Used to belong to TX Family Fitness, just up the road, until they up stakes and left us all high and dry.
We homestead along East Bethany near Ford Park and Middle School.
The battle for Oklahoma’s governor is very close. The dem candidate was a republican who changed parties. So any Oklahomans here, please get out and vote tomorrow!
I hope Governor Stitt pulls out the win. We travel in OK and during the shamdemic, he did a pretty good job holding the line to keep OK open, from day 1 of the shamdemic.
Don’t know much more about him,but his performance during the shamdemic makes him a keeper in my eye, south of the Red River.
TY, yes his opponent is running on masks and school shutdowns. Not sure that’s the strategy I’d go with…
Houston District #7
Enthusiasm down across the board – affluent district that’s been blue since 2016.
Plenty of middle aged white yoga mom’s without a care in the world besides their luxury coffee and pinot. Was heavy on BLM yard signs, Ukrainian flags and tranny propaganda in the windows.
That’s all come to an end now, I assume out of embarrassment and shame
Conservatives I know are all excited for the election – I try not to blackpill them with the fact that the elections are entirely rigged and fake.
Especially in Houston because Governor Hot Wheels utterly refuses to conduct an audit.
If this was actually a fair election and voting mattered – R’s would easily take the district
I’ll vote tomorrow so that one day, god willing, the fraud will finally be exposed. I don’t hold my breath.
Anyways, yes, the liberals are deflated, defeated and ashamed.
I always voted in New York City just to give the Left the finger. Never make it easy for them.
We were redistricted from TX-7 into a district supposedly totally safe for Wesley Hunt.
Please vote for Kyle Scott–running for Harris County Treasurer. i had a meet/greet for Kyle–he is impressive and smart, solid judgment and should be able to find the substantial missing $$ in Harris County funds (our budget is north of $90 billion).
And God help us we need to get rid of the horrible Lina Hidalgo, foisted upon us by Soros. (and corrupt btw as well as totally inexperienced).
Williamson County, TN
Early voting in my local district is running about 45% known Republican, 20% known Democrat and the rest either Independent or just too new/ no voting record in the primaries to know. We have an opportunity to switch our US House representative from the KFC-eating Jim Cooper, Democrat, to a Republican seat.
One very local race that interests me is our County Commission special election. The Republican on the ballot now was a challenger to the 36-year incumbent in the May primary. Lost by 11 votes. The incumbent died in August before the current session started in September. TN Star has a summary/commentary, and I hope the Republican smokes the Democrat and Independent (aka Demo-Lite) tomorrow. https://tennesseestar.com/2022/11/01/tn-voter-guide-creator-craig-huey-talks-williamson-county-commissioner-race-and-the-danger-of-community-organizer-charlane-oliver/

Not if it’s on the up-and-up she won’t…. Oh, wait, you said ‘Shaheen’…. It won’t be… Never mind!
Virginia here – MAGA Hope high. No one happy with status quo. Cheating is the worry. Pray.
GryGhst as in John Singleton Mosby?
We still have to be aware of the massive fraud they will pull in this election. Some States got their voting system changed in their states since the 2020 stolen election but many had no changes. The Democrat run swing states are putting National Guard cybersecurity troops at their election headquarters. That means they will be manipulating of the votes! So, expect it to happen because they told us it will, they just didn’t mention the fraudulent outcome would be the result.
I have been working on my Utah state representative district to flip it R. We have a great MAGA candidate. In the district next to me a woman primaried a RINO outspent 5 to 1 by knocking on 2,500 doors. My leftie friend in DC tells me everyone expects a deep red wave and they are having red wave parties all over. She said liberal women are angry beyond measure about women losing their spaces in sports and the trans stuff. She is telling me liberal women have secretly swung hard toward Republicans.
There is a segment of liberal women who are very angry about the men in women’s spirts. My son tells me he has had a couple of teachers “drone on about it.” It’ll be interesting to see if the issue can sway them more than abortion. I would bet Mastriano opposes it but I’m unaware if it was a campaign issue. There weren’t really Mastriano or Shapiro ads here. Just ads constantly running (paid for by the Dems) that Mastriano is pro life.
Got a group text today about voting from friends . Can’t say that very happened before 🤔
Will county Illinois. Bolingbrook. I am on the ballot. I’m running for county board. I also became the chairman of the Rownship Republican org. I’ve worked hard this whole year trying to get the local (increasingly blue) voters a choice. The numbers I saw today were about 5,600 early votes. That is 20% -30% higher than average. I have very little hope that tomorrow Iwe’ll will defeat the communist incumbent and the socialist running along her side. I would appreciate prayers from any of you! It looks bleak on this end of the woods.
Here’s my campaign site for any one in the area that might be interested. Https:// http://www.timothee4will.com
Montana – A lot of internet media for Tranel (D). None for Zinke (R).
We will be taking our little MAGA grand loves to vote with us…one of which has been going to vote with us since he was a tiny baby. Can’t get them started early enough.
Little grands…BUT BIG MAGA!
In Union County North Carolina, I’m Registered UA and the wife is R. A thing I’ve noticed is there’s been no election junk mail.
I’m in PA and there is tons of election mail.
Interesting. We’re not getting much at all and we’re usually bombarded. And what we are getting is more likely to be dem stuff. Very odd, considering my husband and I are both registered R. We’ve lived here more than two decades. I don’t recall ever getting so much dem stuff.
The folks in my neighborhood are enthusiastic about removing Dems from their seats, but to a man, they are skeptical that the voting results will be counted fairly. Election 2000 removed any faith in the voting system that may have existed. We remain optimistic about the Red Tsunami, but absolutely do not trust the idea of a fair and accurate counting of the results. Very sad.

Was just listening to Warroom. John Frederick’s said Mastriano had two rallies last night. One in South Philly 300 people showed up and one in North Philly 500 showed up. That’s more then what Obama and Biden had at Temple University
4:22 PM · Nov 7, 2022
Whoa! North Philly?? Unbelievable! Hoping that’s true.
Admin – can you tell me why my comments don’t post?
I see it.
In my local area in California, the hidden MAGA voters are there. For example my 92 year old neighbor saw my Trump shirt and said she loved it. She put up an American flag a couple days later.
I dont know that the voters can overcome the state corruption though. We shall see.
In talking with coworkers around the country, more and more have flipped R. They are disgusted with the corruption in politics.
My area WA State, is mail in voter ballot, with drop boxes, only ( or if in vicinity of Auditor’s Office can deliver ballot by hand). We had a victory during the earlier primary, in which Republican Joe Kent (former Marine also endorsed openly by PDT) beat Republican Jaime Herrera Beutler (voted to impeach PDT) & Dem Marie Gluesenkemp Perez. Former Romney financier David Nierenberg sent $1000,000 to back the Dem candidate to “protect the GOP party in WA State,” from the xtreme, far right. McCarthy also sent over $40,000 for Herrera. WA State GOP is mostly “in the club.”
Just checked in on the Secretary of State’s website for South Dakota. They have already have had 45% of the absentee ballots returned and are expecting a record turnout.
We are a very red state. So it should be good news.
My very lefty MIL told me yesterday she never did get around to getting her absentee ballot mailed. Too late now she said. She will not bother to go to the polls either. My absentee ballot fields are empty because I didn’t request one so, so far so good. Will vote tomorrow before work. My boss already said she’d be in late because she’s voting before work. Hubby is primed to vote when he gets time tomorrow. He never misses , so we’ll see. But South Dakota is reliably red so all should be good here. There is almost zero chance Kristy Noem will not be re-elected. There could be better candidates for sure, but she is definitely better than any democrat.

Harmeet Dillon:

I hope Kari and crew just slaughters the Democrats so there is no way they can pull out a cheat.
I’m in a collar county around Philly. Heavily Democrat recently. I’m seeing more Oz and Mastriano signs then Fetterman.
Several houses that for years had Democrat signs up didn’t this year. The same people live there and I see them coming and going.
I think Fetterman is just too much for them, but they don’t have any signs which I find really odd.
There are lots of Mastriano signs and in the last week some unusual orangish red ones with yellow that are very striking. They have tag lines like stop CRT, Transparent elections, Stop men in women’s sports, save full term babies and ones on the economy.
I’m hopeful for both of them.
I have been seeing more signs of non-RWB by the GOP. It seems to be a trend to steer away from patriotic colors. I don’t get it. One guy had green and black, I had to rant at him, told him would lose if he used that ugly sign, and sure enough he lost, he came in third. His ego was bruised bigly, but he should have listened.
Next Tuesday. Mar A Lago!!!
So sad. The once great Libertarian/ Republican Orange County Register newspaper(CA) has endorsed Democrats for the highest California State Offices in tomorrow’s election. It seems to be in lock step with the infamous Los Angeles Times.
I haven’t subscribed or even read this paper for many years and I did hear of a Communist take over, but today I just wanted to take a look at how far the publication has fallen.
The Orange County Register changed hands in 2016, it hasn’t been the same since.
Central NC here. I’m a poll worker for my very red precinct in a 50/50 county north of Charlotte. We have 1300 folks left to vote tomorrow. 300 have early voted.
Expecting a big turnout. Had 20% turnout in this precinct for primary in May (which is really good turnout for a primary.)
In NC, all board of elections are run by the party of the Governor…so democrats. This is the key to their keeping the governor’s mansion even though the whole state went red for Trump in 2016 and 2020.
They announced a change as we were setting up the precinct tonight. In the past, if you under voted or over voted on a ballot the machine would spit the ballot out and request the voter to fill out another ballot. Or push a button to just vote the ballot “as is.”
That will still happen, but they have added another choice. The voter can vote an empty “protest” ballot by pushing a new button when prompted.
During the primary we had many very angry Democrats who were mad that they had to vote a Democrat ballot.
The precinct judge explained this new voting option was a response to that type of voter…but here’s the thing… this is a general election. We all get the same ballot. Why mix empty ballots in with good ballots. ? I don’t think this is just about allowing folks yet another way to protest.
Maybe I need to take off my tinfoil hat.
There are absolutely corrupt county commissioners, election services employees and administrators and political hacks in Chester County, PA. It is a disgrace.
NV, I think we’ll see a republican governor and senator driving out Sisoslob and Cortex missing. Absent fraud.

Strange things are afoot in Pennsylvania’s election.
(Video linked in tweet)…
Southern CA, the liberal Democrat voters I know are uncharacteristically quiet to the point there is little or no talk about the mid-term elections and zero political propaganda sharing. This is unusual in my experience. The meaning of this I don’t know.
I know few Republican voters,when my entourage suspected (some) or I told them, that I had voted for Trump, I became a heretic of sorts, even “persona non grata”. I used to be a low info independent voter, but always voting Democrat, no questions asked, lol.
Abstention may increase this time among liberal voters around here. Despite the control damage scheme of mail in ballots by default. Everybody gets them, either if you want them or not.
Liberals used to be strongly antiwar in CA, but most importantly, their tech stocks are cratering while inflation is in double digits.
I am offering to drive elderly folks to the polls. Here in East Los Angeles I’ll be taking 8 seniors. Four inside the car, two in the trunk and two tied to the top of my car. We are pulling out all the stops. We’re fired up, baby.
How many “vote machines” have been removed and are no longer connected to the internet ?
(none)
How many criminals have been tried and jailed for cheating, stuffing drop boxes, destroying MAGA ballots, multi voting, dropping thousands of ballots at midnight ?
(few to none)
How many “news” people, stations, owners, announcers have been punished for lying, reporting false results early, dissuading voters from voting, meddling in our sacred elections ?
(none)
How many “elected” politicians have been thrown out of office for cheating their way in last election? (none)
So…… My question is why would anything change these two + years later ?
Because now people believe there is something very rotten about America, and now people will watch for and yell about things like having more votes than voters. In 2020, there was a whole state (Pennsylvania) that had more votes than voters, but it was smoothed over and ignored. Now we have a whole alternative media and a lot of highly suspicious citizens.
Northwestern WI here. We have some good MAGA candidates that were MAGA before it was a thing. Fairly red here and confident in Sen. Ron Johnson & Rep. Tom Tiffany. Not so much in Michaels for Governor though he has Trump’s endorsement. He’s pretty invisible and boring. Milwaukee and Madison love their communist Evers.
Anecdote from a friend from around Grand Rapids, MI…she says the regular Dem voters on the ground are very self assured and arrogant that Dems will win handily.
If those dems in Grand Rapids have been drinking the national media kool-aid their confidence probably seems well placed to them. They also suffer from being in a town with not one but six different colleges so there’s plenty of libtardia in the air.
