In order to have massive corruption and cheating, you have to have massive followers willing to do the bidding.

Do not look for a political hero to save you from indoctrinated voting populace.

We will continue to win less and lose ground UNLESS we are willing to make drastic changes in how we approach life in America.

In order to make effective change, we need to regain control of educating our own children. However, most of us will be ok with the conditioning of keeping our children and grandchildren in government run institutions five days a week for 30-40 hours each week. Then when someone points out the horrible state of education, we tell them to run for the school board if they want change.

If your schools receive government funding, then localities really don’t have much control over what goes on. While we are at it, state colleges and universities are mostly in the same tank.

In order for there to be growing majorities of voters who understand and want a way of life that expects individual responsibility, a passion for freedom, a longing for excellence, a desire for morality, those things have to be part of a world view that is understood and appreciated. It’s a heart issue.

Where do you think the heart of most rising eighteen year olds will be next election cycle?

Then why even vote at all if voter fraud is the only problem. Nothing will be done about it, at least not to our satisfaction, so what’s the use. Same with dems cheating - why bother to vote if they can steal an election. God, I am so frustrated.

For the most part yes it is.

I’ve been warning fellow parents about schools and pop entertainment for 30 years. I don’t get very far

I’m in the East—I’ve had about 7 hours sleep.

Yes the Dems in Texas cheated when in control—but they cheated each other.

Do you have evidence of Dem cheating in Texas this year, or any year after 1960?

Screaming “Chicago” isn’t intelligent commentary on this race.

That said, I do need to get to work, so your commentary isn’t entirely misplaced.

She lost in a heartbreaking fashion but we won a different congressional seat with Monica De La Cruz.

At the risk of over-posting.

MSNBC on morning joe are talking about this exactly right NOW.
They are crowing and bragging on and on how Hispanic men are not conservative actually and there was a solid blue line all along the border. How they will continue to make gains with immigration. Partying about destroying Flores.

And they are correct.

Yeah. Getting tired of cheating taking the place of failed GOTV. Two elections in a row we failed to embrace early and mail voting. It’s not going away. We need to make it work for us not against.

Agree. The cheating thing is a crutch. Many of these races are decided by a few or tens of thousands of votes. The Dems energized their base and got out their vote. The GOP, mostly, didn’t. Dems live politics 24/7/365. The GOP doesn’t. They’re hit and run both in office and during election season.

She is absolutely right. The pollsters underestimated the size of the democrats’ share if the electorate. Most seem to be operating on a D+2 or 3 assumption. With the millions of young liberals now voting, it would not surprise me to see the alignment at D+6. It’s a changing country, folks.

Of course they stole certain elections under the radar.

They’ve been doing this forever, or at least since the late 1990s.

Folks who act like Kramer and second guess it are oblivious to democrat cheating even though there is a well documented history of it.

There is a double standard as well. Republicans get sacked for lying and cheating. With democrats, the same behavior is expected and even demanded.

If we take back the House, that’s a start. They haven’t finished counting votes, so let’s not give up hope altogether. Whatever happens is part of God’s plan, and we need to be listening to how He wants us to handle it.

To never see Nancy Pelosi again would be one of the best outcomes of taking back the House.

Well, they seem to be saying that youth turned out in record numbers even though the youth turns out at 7-10%, so they just mailed in a bunch of younger people’s ballots that were autoregistered but don’t vote.

Let me add another detail some of you may not know about the state I live in - North Carolina. North Carolina had a pretty heavily Republican leaning house delegation...something like 10 or 11 to 4 Republican. The state legislature which is Republican dominated drew an election map that was beneficial to Republicans. The State Supreme Court which the Democrats held a 4-3 advantage in went crazy. It invalidated voter ID which the voters had approved overwhelmingly in a statewide referendum, it threw out another election integrity law AND it threw out the electoral map the state legislature drew up and had its own panel draw up a new electoral map...."cuz racism" being the excuse for all this. The legislature sued and this case is before SCOTUS right now. The House Delegation for North Carolina this time is 7-7 so the electoral map gained the Democrats about 4 seats in the House. Anyway....we just threw out two of those Democrat judges on the state Supreme Court.....meaning Republicans will hold a 5-2 majority now.....meaning they will reverse all those rulings so North Carolina will have much stricter election integrity laws for the next election. North Carolina will also have a much more Republican friendly electoral map for 2024. That is true whether SCOTUS rules as it should that the legislature makes election laws in each state - not the judicial branch, OR whether the state supreme court reinstates the electoral map the legislature drew up.....OR if the state legislature draws up a new electoral map. You see, the Republicans now hold a supermajority in the state legislature after this election. So they can ram whatever map and whatever election integrity laws or any other laws they want right down our Democrat governor's throat.

Look for the Republicans to pick up at least 3-4 seats in the House in 2024 from North Carolina just because of a much better electoral map the state will have.
