Mail in ballots work to the GOPs benefit.”

Like hell they do. The rats are pushing it hard for a reason. In fact wouldn’t wouldn’t be surprised if this wasn’t a set up so they can say “See there was mail voting and the GOP won
by a lot this idea that Mail voting helps the Democrats is not true”.

If mail-in ballots are returned to the election board because they cannot be forwarded, this might even help clean up the voter rolls. The ones that are claimed must be signed on the outside by the person who is voting. This signature is supposed to match the signature found on the registration document at the Board of Elections. People who know longer live at the address will not be getting their ballots. That might cut back on people voting in two different places.

For the recent CA special election, ballot harvesting was out of the question because people could not go visiting other people’s houses.

What hampered them was the inability to flood the zone with carpetbaggers from LA to canvass the district in person and do mass ballot harvesting.

Because of Covid19 Shelter in Place.

That explanation fits the facts better than most theories I have read.

Could be they let us have this win to reduce resistance to mail in voting hoping for the whole ball of wax in November.

That is EXACTLY what I think. But are they smart enough to do that?

That district comfortably elected Republicans for decades until 2018. Let’s see an actual Democratic district swing R before we see a trend.

The only people more devious than Democrats are muslims.

Nov. 4 is too late unless you are a Democrat. Election is Nov. 3.

One of ACD’s most prescient remarks.

Complete side note:

Only a little less than 144,000 were returned.

Is it just my grammar-Nazi-mom upbringing, or does no one know the difference between 'less' and 'fewer'?

I hear this regularly out of the NPR keystone Nazi's now. Has the world moved beyond 'fewer'? Alas, am I the only human on earth left who cringes at this?

“The fact that the media has said almost nothing about this victory tells us how worried they are about it.”

Not necessarily. They could have whipped up some issue or used it to push some issue if they felt it necessary.

Keep in mind that we are not the only ones who can learn from this. We have to anticipate what the evil thugs on the left will learn, or they may use the lessons to steal far more seats in November than they lost this month. I’m optimistic, but only if decent Americans remain vigilant. Freedom’s enemies never sleep.

Did CV minimize the door knocking?

How many House seats in California did Nancy’s minions steal with votes handed in after the election?

The other side of that: In our state each district has two R and two D poll workers. We are paid a small bonus for transporting the results from the polling place back to the municipal offices, and we rotate the duty for fairness. But in the case of uncounted ballots from a reliably Republican district, a committed Democrat might lose the bag or delay the delivery to invalidate the votes.
