Looked at the rest of the house races that have yet to be called, and its no guarantee that R take the house. They may but it is going to be a razor thin margin...think they get to 217 for sure, but after that there are quite a few tossups. Hopefully one of them goes their way.
In regards to the Senate, I don't think there is a chance in hell that Walker beats Warnock straight up. It will be 50-50 again.
Man, the content of those 2 articles are deeply disturbing. To send out mail in ballots to every registered voter is complete insanity. With everyone bitching about the integrity of our elections, how is this possible? Nevada is a mess.Quote:

If the current disaster created by progressive domestic policies was not enough to produce a massive Red Wave, something monumental will have to happen to reverse this toxic political tribalism.
I really don't think its that difficult. Have good policies, don't do stupid shit like deny elections, build trust and not be an asshole. I like Desantis, but he can't do stupid temper tantrum shit like the shipping migrants to Martha's vineyard thing. I get his point, but to moderates, it looks like you are just being an asshole.Quote:

You do realize that Walker was only 35K votes behind and the Libertarian candidate received 81K. Not to mention that Kemp smoked Warnock's buddy Abrams? If Kemp decides to publically support Walker....hello 51.Quote:

If Laxalt blows this lead...look out! He's got her by 17K with 83% counted. I'm guessing a large portion of the remaining ballots are those mail in ones. Had to be post marked on Tuesday....I am going to assume most of them are being counted as we speak.Quote:
