Aren’t there some convictions to overturn???
It would appear that it is highly questionable that John Ossoff / David Perdue’s race should have gone to a runoff with these revelations and that Perdue should have won re-election outright on election night. Now how many Senate votes over the last 5+ years did that impact with the Senate so closely divided if in fact the Republican Perdue would have been in that Senate seat vs. the Democrat Ossoff? In fact, I believe the Republicans would have held the majority 51-49 from January 2021-January 2023, right? That would have also affecting the floor agenda. Then assuming the 2022 elections went the same way, it would have been 50-50 split, which, although the Dems would have had the majority with Harris’ tie breaking vote, still could have impacted the results of a number of votes. Biden might also have been prompted to appoint a less radical justice than Kentanji Brown Jackson (or Breyer might not have even stepped down). And judges would not have been fast tracked for approval Biden’s first two years, impacting the current makeup of the judiciary, and even so, again, a number of this outright communist judges would not have been approved or even appointed at all.
This has a lot more implications than just a statistic on paper, and the potential implications of what would *not* have happened that did end up happening with just the issue of that one Senate seat alone being reversed is far more than trivial.
