A judge dismissed a lawsuit Friday filed by Rep. Mia Love against Salt Lake County Clerk Sherrie Swensen over how ballots in the tight 4th Congressional District race are being verified.

But in new results released later Friday, Love took a 419 vote lead over Democratic Salt Lake County Mayor Ben McAdams. Love has trailed McAdams in the 4th District race since election night Nov. 6. McAdams did gain 167 more votes than Love in Salt Lake County, but the two-term congresswoman added 1,588 more votes in Utah County, a conservative stronghold. She now has 129,006 votes to McAdams' 128,587 throughout the 4th District, which includes portions of Salt Lake and Utah counties as well as Juab and Sanpete counties.

I thought she was toast.

Maybe next time she’ll stick closer to Trump.

No love for Trump Mia? Even though he’s the only one fighting for us against the swamp?

Personally, I do not care how this turns out. If Love manages to win, she might tone down her hissy fits for Trump suggesting Haiti is a $#*+hole country. It not only is, it is a poster boy for $#*+hole countries. Why does she think her parents worked so hard to get out of there?

If she loses, then it becomes another object lesson for the NeverTrump crowd. And her opponent becomes another BlueDog Democrat, at least for show purposes.

So when leftists steal elections and republicans are soft about it, the elections stay stolen. But when leftists steal elections and republicans fight back, sometimes the thieves don’t end up with the win.

Big lesson to be learned by elected republicans.

Might be an attempt to get her to call off the dogs. You can bet this is another election the Rats stole. I hope even if she wins she goes all out to expose the cheating.

WOW. Take a picture, everybody. This might just be the ONLY race flipped by a Republican AFTER election day.

She was suing to stop the counting while she was still behind.

She wouldn’t even make a good Democrat, she’s a worse Republican.

Can’t argue with your thoughts there.

Haiti is a terrible place. IMO, it’s the worst in the Americans and the Caribbean.

I’m not real enthused with Puerto Rica either as of late.

Why the hell are they still counting? What is up with these counties that can’t run an efficient election?

Elections last a month long now, just about, if not in reality.

We have early voting and counts that go for weeks after the election.

We have absentee ballots that can be gamed.

Folks, one day, 12 hours, no more!!!!

As for illegal aliens, we need to put an end to them voting right now.

We need to start throwing the book at the cheaters, and I don’t care which side they are on.

We need to also come down hard on people who vandalize Conservative’s property, or they themselves physically.

This nation is going to hell in a hand basket.

Emigres from even rotten countries tend to be nostalgic about their homelands and to romanticize it and its culture and ordinary people. About ten years ago, I got into a cab in Ft. Lauderdale and was astonished to see a framed picture of Ronald Reagan on the dash next to a Haitian flag emblem.

On questioning, the Haitian-American driver-owner gushed about what a great President Ronald Reagan had been and how awful the government of Haiti was and how the people suffered there. The driver's regard for Ronald Reagan was based on two things: he had made it possible for him and his family to become American citizens, while Reagan tax cuts enabled him to buy several cabs and other family members to also start businesses and prosper. And he was a registered Republican.

Somehow, despite the news media and the Democrats, Republicans and conservatives need to recruit and energize allies among immigrant populations even as we try to restrict new immigration, both legal and illegal. I am not sure how to do it, but I am sure that in part it requires tolerating the nostalgia of emigres for their native countries -- including that of Mia Love.

Scumbags in suburban Salt Lake didn’t vote against her cause she’s not a huge Trumper, ok? That may fit a narrative you like but it’s not true. Plenty of Trumpers lost too.

And you don’t have to Love Love but recognize that McAdams is a Marxist pig.

Love has obvious weakness as a candidate that predates and is completely separate from however she feels about Trump. She couldn’t win in 2012 even with Romney coattails in the district and her winning margin in 2014 was only 5 points.

Same say “Mormons are racist” but I don’t think that’s it. In that district she should but entrenched but for whatever reason she’s not. Michelle Bachman similarly under-performed in what should have been a safe seat. Crummy constituent service is a typical reason. Maybe she’s too focused on being “The Only Black female Republican” and not tending to folks at home, just speculation.
