On Tuesday, Democrats swept the midterm elections with shocking wins across the country, including sweeping Texas and winning US Senate seats in deep red states including South Carolina, Iowa, Ohio, Kansas, Mississippi (likely), and even Texas.
At The Gateway Pundit, we have postponed our public announcements on the reasons for this historic midterm bloodbath.
We are still looking at Tuesday's numbers and starting to see more shocking coincidences. These released results require 'a willing suspension of disbelief.'
Earlier TGP reported on squishy James Talarico's weirdly impossible numbers. The pro-trans kids Texas candidate may have been missing for two weeks during the end of the campaign but that didn't stop him from winning in a landslide against Republican stalwart Ken Paxton.

In fact, weirdo Talarico won more Democrat votes than ALL Democrat Texas candidates since 2016, including three Democrat presidential campaigns!

How is that possible?
A state that President Trump won handily in 2024 - just two years ago - with a 14% victory over Kamala Harris!
And just two years later - Democrats win a US Senate seat in the Lone Star state by 12 percentage points!

Another anomaly ...
This might be the craziest election stat I've seen. Roy Cooper in North Carolina won his U.S. Senate seat before a ballot was cast Tuesday. His early vote total was more than everything Michael Whatley got.

A reply ...
@JSCollinsAP same in Texas.. not possible without fraud. https://t.co/MvoYt3LAne— Roxy🇺🇸 (@RoxysRumble) November 5, 2026
Because as with ICE enforcement,or any law enforcement,in some cases the application of deadly violence will be required to ensure compliance, and every leftist media organization will have cameras ready to misrepresentat and exaggerate it all out of proportion 24/7.
And by the time tbe truth gets out ot will be too late and even more violence will be needed to stop the riots.
I am convinced on Texas—definitely very fishy.
This looks like a state by state issue.
One of my employees was unable to cast a ballot in person, since the records showed that she had already mailed a ballot in.
Which she never does.
Just another data point.
They always said the winner of Texas election is always the non-voters. Texas was a very low voting percentage. I think they finally got people to register and get out to vote.
Dem Victoria Broderick from a deep “red area” in Tennessee never ran a TV ad against a well funded Repub and is on the verge of flipping that seat. What say you?
People are pissed off at the powers that be, its not vote fraud, its anger at any incumbent with an (R) attached to their name..
👍
Florida has secured the vote collection and counting. Moreso than other states.
I have yet to hear of exit polling from these states. That would help expose fraud.
Just a suggestion if you are in Texas.
If you know of any apartment buildings that have high vacancy rates (under renovation, perhaps?) get that address and ask a local election official to audit those records.
If massive fraud was going on they would have to cast ballots from those vacant apartments—at least that is one way the Dems traditionally cheat in northern cities.
“This looks like a state by state issue.”
They all had the DNC AI voting system.
Except the math doesn’t work. I suspect you are math challenged. If you took even one college level statistic class these results are laughable.
Amen.
This stupid crap only serves to prevent the necessary reflection.
I think there are a variety of lessons to be learned, and a lot of very simple “duh” stuff.
But yeesh, people. Get out of your bubbles.
I drank the hopium - I thought the election would be bad, but not THIS bad. And in hindsight?
The results don’t surprise me at all.
DJT brought a lot of infrequent - and yeah, leftists - to the polls. They’re fickle. They want government to fix their lives. They still do, but their lives didn’t get fixed so they went the other way (or stayed home).
More personal and what I missed? Call me a ‘RINO’ all you want - but ‘MAGA’ decided to dump all over center-right conservatives. RELIABLE - super reliable - GOP voters. People who just want lower taxes, less government, and honestly? Love Republicans like W - who only got screwed by (his own fault) the Iraq War.
It’s been a while since I had algebra, but I’ll try.
In 2024, Trump beat Harris 6,393,597 to 4,835,250, with 61% turnout.
In 2026, Talifreako beat ethically-challenged Paxton 5,445,121 to 4,249,752.
That means 1.5MM voters in 2024 didn’t play in 2026.
Talifreako grew Harris’ vote total by 12%. Paxton fell 2.1MM/ 33% from Trump’s total.
Based on exit polling (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_United_States_Senate_election_in_Texas#Analysis, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_States_presidential_election_in_Texas#Exit_poll_data), Paxton relative to Trump,
-lost 10 percentage points of Moderate support,
-lost 11 percentage points of White Men and 8 of White Women,
-lost 12 percentage points of Black Men,
and more.
As for why, The Pubbies are Dems circa 2024, just in reverse…”Dems are baaaaad. Vote for us, not because we offer anything, but because they’re commies, socialists, and very baaaad.”
In fact here is Ken Paxton’s election website - https://www.kenpaxton.com/ - Right there, at the top and up front…what is his message?
‘KEN PAXTON UNSHAKABLE. UNBROKEN. UNAFRAID.
‘The Democrats have made Texas their top target, and they’ve nominated the most radical candidate in Texas history: James Talarico. This election will determine whether Texas remains the conservative stronghold that leads America or becomes another state controlled by the radical left.
‘KEN PAXTON IS LEADING THE FIGHT TO STOP HIM, BUT HE CAN’T DO IT ALONE.’
That’s it…vote for me because I’m not Talarico. Forget about my ethics problems because he is a baaaad man. For what do I stand? I dunno…but I’m not him. That’s reason enough. Shaddap and vote for me already.
No vision, no philosophy, not even some pork.
In a nutshell, Paxton lead a flaccid campaign that didn’t inspire voters, or give them a legit reason to vote FOR HIM. All he did was offer a reason to not vote for the freakazoid, who only needed to grow Harris’ vote total 12%.
It’s easy to blame it on fraud. That prevents honest reflection and doing the hard work to correct errors.
Keep up the fraud whining, and President Newsome and VP AOC take oaths in 2029.
AI said the chances of that happening are 1 in 10*468
Except the math doesn’t work. I suspect you are math challenged. If you took even one college level statistic class these results are laughable.
You should change your name to Pauline Kael.
“Golly, I don’t understand how Nixon won. Nobody *I* knew voted for him!”
You live in a bubble.
Most people don’t.
19.1 M registered voters in Texas. Only 9 M bothered to vote for the Governor.
