Right now I’ll take 218. Anything over that is gravy.
Alaska has ranked...and as far as I can tell, it can be easily rigged.
Decision desk now has the odds of Republicans taking the house at a little over 80%. It was over 90%. I get nervous with these elections especially in these liberal western states when it takes days and days to get a result. More opportunity for manipulation.
I am not feeling confident right now.
220 seats is an overall hold from the current House. They need four of the remaining 10 undeclared House seats to get to that mark, which is what is being predicted by Decision Desk HQ. Seven of those 10 are in California. At the risk of being trashed about this, I don’t have a warm fussy they’ll go past 220 (a point being made by the OP).
So there was a vote dump in CO 8 last night. I think the R is up 49 to 48.2 (162022 to 159426) with >95% in. This would be a flip of a D seat if we win. I went to the Colorado Sec of State web page. I see this district is made up of 2 red and one blue counties. It shows all 3 at 95%.
As of a couple of hours ago on DDHQ
CO 8 >95% counted
R 162,022
D 159,426
AZ 6 - 87% counted
R 173,654
D 171,238
CA 41 - 80% counted
R 143,621
D 135,741
CA 13 - 62% counted
R 66,675
D 63,414
AK - 74%
R 125,222 (49.5%)
D 115,089 (45.4%)
AK needs over 50% else it goes to RCV
AZ-6 will go R
States should and must continue to run elections. However the federal government does have a legitimate right to ensure that there is not fraud which a means of disenfranchisement. This is actually one of the reasons DOJ was created in 1870.
I think Trump is going to prioritize this.
Not matter much. Demos can be bought. Only need a handful of votes to push anything thru.
It is the knife inna back RINOs that need to be purged.
At one point, Democrats had to win 8 out of 9 toss-ups. I think that would be .5 raised to the 8th power or .00390625 or less than .4%. That’s with a fair coin.
If Republicans lose the House, the coin was not fair.
