Seems like Democrats are winning back local seats lost in previous elections. but Republicans are holding on to congressional seats.
They aren’t winning as many locals as the “blue wave” moron press wants you to think.
In last month, we won 2 in MN, 1 in LA, 2 in KY, 1 in GA.
We lost 1 tiny, tiny district in NH and one in CT (51 votes, total 3,000 voted vs. 12,000 in general).
Of course, all the news is on the “red” FL district that swung.
But this will be an R hold in the fall, meaning essentially 6/6 House seats. The only loss was AL, where Moore managed to get 685,000 Rs to stay home.
The pattern in these locals is clear. GA had 9% turnout. Most of them are way off even normal off-year or special turnouts. People are just sick and tired of elections, voting, and politics. They want the country to “just run” for a while.
I’d like to see a national shift where all states adopt a “no special election” policy with gov appointing state and or US House seats til the following November general election.
This was a primary...not a special election..the general special election is in a couple months for this seat.
