Take Away: The conservative slates in both cities ran as a unit and highlighted the Second Amendment as a key issue in their campaigns

The political payback to Northern Virginia for flipping the House seemed poised to take out the pockets of D control in central, south and western parts of the state, as we all remember, in what seems like distant past now, the Second Amendment sanctuary movement, which was at its height in December and January.

A Congressional district in Southern California was flipped recently, and the GOP recently won a special election in Wisconsin. These may be harbingers of a Red Wave in November.

“Non-partisan” voting should be ruled by the SCOTUS as denial of “freedom speech”. Where ever it is done, by the Dims being able to deny their labels, the voters are denied the clear knowledge of knowing what party they are voting for, and the candidate is deprived of the freedom to declare their party affiliation.

That is, of course, if we can prevent massive fraud in said election.

Looks like 2A was the dominant issue, and the Republicans dominated.

I think the “I’m a Democrat who supports Gun Rights” dodge has been exhausted. A vote for any Democrat is a vote against gun rights, no matter what the candidate says.

The Republican in Southern California won by 12 points. It appears that 12 points is beyond the Margin of Fraud.

So, that should be our goal. Win each and every election by 12 points. Anything less, and they will try to steal it.

Yes. So called “non-partisan” voting is in fact the most partisan voting possible. Essentially it is a Stalinisque scheme where you can vote for anyone you want as long as it's Stalin.

Red is a strong color - Blue is so girly boy pastel.

The D’s overreach on this COVID lockdown at their peril, and fueling the fire is the still-simmering gun control matter.

I agree with that... though a couple of our fellow FReepers squawked loudly when I voiced that a few days ago.

I guess that will be the RAT's regret Nov 4 ... 'we should have seen it coming ...'

To be fair, this particular SoCal district only went Dem in 2018. And I doubt the Dems had the ballot harvester running full-bore for a special election.

Yes, it’s encouraging that this seat was taken back from them, but let’s hold off on uncorking the champagne until November.

The ballot harvesters came through this week in Santa Ana, where the only Republican on the city council was defeated.
