NJ is now full blue and is in the process of trying to redraw districts that will make Rats a forever majority. GOP is pretty much dead in NJ like it is in California.

See #22

Yeah - how about that. Evers has no mandate what so ever.

My respect Scott Walker went down the toilet when he refused to pardon Steven Avery and the mentally limited Brendan the local cops, prosecutor, and judge framed for a murder they did not commit, and did so because Avery was about to get a $33 million judgment against the city.

Can Trump win in WI & MI in 2020?

No.

The DemoKKKratzis in both states fixed their broken Election Fraud Machines.

The WI KKKratzis did it in Milwaukee & Dane County [I'll say this without even checking the numbers].

The MI KKKratzis had something else going on that was really strange. I haven't been able to figure it out yet, but it had something to do with the smaller counties in Michigan.

Oakland County, Michigan clerks receive large, detailed FOIA request for November 2016 ballots, other material
August 28, 2018
https://www.theoaklandpress.com/news/state/oakland-county-clerks-receive-large-detailed-foia-request-for-november/article_125c145e-aa12-11e8-87f8-875c50a97675.html

The larger counties like Oakland and Wayne were not able to deliver the requested material until after the "election".

Interestingly, the "Blue Wave" was non-existent in those counties.

In the smaller counties, where the county clerks were able to deliver the information before the election, there was a DEFINITE "Blue Wave". One small rural county in Northern Michigan had a 27% increase in turnout for the DemoKKKrat US Senate candidate - a 500-vote increase from 2016. Meanwhile, the turnout for the Republican DROPPED by 700 votes. This is a wild statistical anomaly.

              Trump  Felonia
2016 Kalkaska 6116	2280	
              James  Stabencow
2018 Kalkaska 5402	2799

I don’t see that at all. Quite the contrary, the Cankles #S merely reflect somewhat normal presidential year turnout.

James wasn’t ready. I said this months out. You cannot spend, as he and Renacci did in OH, three months getting “name recognition.” That’s a lost game.

You are correct about this part - BUT.

I'm examining my comparison of the numbers from 2016 and 2018.

In the top 12 counties in population, the off-year election numbers seemed to be about normal for both DemoKKKrat and Republican turnout.

When you get to the smaller population counties, the numbers go whacko. 5-10% increases for the KKKrat in almost every small county - with a corresponding depression of about 15% decreases in Republican turnout. This is true for 49 of the 54 smallest counties - many of which would have responded to the "Emily" FOIA request, unlike the bigger counties (75,000+ population) which didn't have time to fulfill the request before the election.

In those bigger counties, the numbers are more in line with an off-year election - with NO "Blue Wave" in evidence.

I'm just trying to get some ideas about what was going on - but I'm sure SOMETHING was going on.

Check out this little tidbit, and see what you make of it:

https://www.hollandsentinel.com/news/20180906/local-clerks-responding-to-emily-foia-request

In August, Michigan clerks offices received a perplexing FOIA request from “Emily,” asking for copies of ballots and materials from the 2016 general election. The Detroit News later reported Priorities USA Foundation, a non-partisan super PAC, claimed it contracted a third party to send hundreds of records requests to clerks throughout Michigan.

This includes several in Ottawa County — Roebuck’s office is working with local clerks on responses to the extensive request. A FOIA request is a formal request for documents from a public body; anyone can request them, though it costs money to process them based on how much staff time needs to be dedicated to fulfill the request and to make copies or cover basic supplies to fulfill the request.

In some cases, these requests would cost thousands of dollars to complete. Cost varies between municipalities, though Roebuck said in Park Township, it would cost the requestor roughly $10,000 to have the request fulfilled. In Georgetown Township, it’s roughly $36,000, he said. Holland Township came in around $14,000, said Township Clerk Michael Dalman. After sending that estimate, “Emily” asked the township to revise its estimate to only include some of its precincts.

“Can you imagine copying all of those ballots? Fifteen thousand ballots not on standard-sized paper,” Dalman said. “It would be a challenge. But, if we had to we could do it.”

Interestingly, in the city of Holland, the requestor only asked for information from one precinct — Ward 5, precinct 12, which is part of the city but in Allegan County. City Clerk Kathy Mitchell said requestors don’t need to provide information on why they’re requesting documents.

Mitchell said the city asked for 50 percent of the cost needed to fulfill the request — for Holland that’s about $1,000 — and is awaiting a response from “Emily.”

Interestingly, Ottawa County is in the top 10 of populous Michigan counties - a Republican stronghold - but only one of two which experienced a mild "Blue Wave" (4.49% increase over 2016).

The rest of the top ten, in order:

Wayne -      [voters 2016: 748,437] 2018: KKKrat: -12.97%       Rep: -17.31%

JJ took all but three counties. He did not spend those months getting name recognition.

??????

Do you have different numbers from somewhere?

I count 12 counties where John James lost, just at a cursory glance.

And this could, possibly, support the notion that name recognition killed James. It’s in the smaller, more remote counties that you would get less media, fewer visits, etc.

1) that’s not correct, but 2) even if it were, it would be irrelevant, like saying McSally won all of AZ except Maricopa, or Heller won all of NV except Clark and Washoe.

Good point.

Any thoughts on the mysterious "Emily"?    thinking face
