United States Congressional & Gubernatorial 2022 elections

At least the NV senate candidate seems to be reasonable about the count and not an election denier

What!?!?!

A blatent lier that spread lies, spread even more lies trying to win an election?!?! Shocking.

Also completely shocked at the poster that happily spread her lies here without any critical thought. Horrible that they were tricked by someone they trust so much.

In particular, there’s no benefit to mailing it after election day instead of before election day. It counts the same. So there’s no mortgage to fake a postmark more serious than “oh shit, i forgot”, and that’s not something you plan in advance.

That’s actually an argument for “received shortly before election day”, so long as the state can tell you whether your ballot was received. Because then, if DeJoy “loses” your ballot, you still have recourse, you can go vote in person.

My state does tell you whether you’re ballot has been received (and accepted as valid) and if it hasn’t, you can vote in person.

Sort of?

538, had a 1/3 chance it would come down to 1 state, and Nevada as the single closest state, with 50/50 odds.

Yeah if you wanted to cause chaos in this year’s election Clark County NV, Maricopa County AZ, and Fulton County GA would have been high on the list of spots to do some damage

If there is one place in this country that we can be sure does not have election integrity issues, it’s Arizona - and in particular Maricopa County. The 2020 election was looked at with a fine-toothed comb by people who really wanted to find irregularities, and they couldn’t find any.

Oh I don’t think there were any irregularities. Just saying if you were able to tamper Maricopa would be high on the list of places to do it. Fulton County GA was also investigated extensively.

I didn’t mean to imply that you did. Sorry.

The places you mentioned will be put forward as potential conspiracy targets again, just because the results aren’t what some people wanted them to be.

Actually, knowing that they will be looked at closely (even though they already have been shown to be pretty darn clean), it would be kinda stupid to try and pull something off there in this election.

Pretty sure all Maricopa counting was/is live-streamed this year.

It was a simple crude calculation (not really analysis) and I pointed out the flaws you mentioned in the very same post.

D’s hold the Senate (pending recounts, of course)

He sure made a big deal about denying Trump’s election loss. It’s why he was the Republican candidate.

Agree it is great that there hasn’t been much of that nonsense this time around. I expect Kari Lake in Arizona to try it if she ends up losing though. It’s pretty much her whole brand.

She’s already ramping it up

Ds at 213* base
Rs at 217* base

5 unknowns left -
AZ-01
AZ-06
CA-13
CA-22
CA-41

*base numbers include some that haven’t been officially called for each side, but seem all but confirmed.

CA-41 seems like the hardest of that lot
