“...support 100% voting on Election Day only, with our current picture ID laws...”

Totally agree!!! This should be the voting laws nationwide...The ONLY mail-in ballots allowed should be from overseas military personnel...

Early voting should be stopped...If you can’t get off your butt to vote, then you don’t really care, in my opinion...

The Rats had this all planned out and the GOP needs to challenge them by questioning these votes. No way Sinema could have won. No way Jose. Impossible.

The state didn’t go full tilt Rep. Three Dem Congressmen were elected. McSally’s old district went Dem. it would be interesting to learn if McSally arrived her old district.

McSally was a moderate. She was not conservative enough, especially on immigration. Her likability was also a question.

They didn’t lose the Senate so it was worth it. 51 Senators now is different since the ones coming in are more Trump friendly. 51 when you have 3 or 4 who are going to play difficult sucks.

maricopa still had 162k votes to count beginning this a.m.

McSally would have to win the remaining ballots at a rate of about 59-39 to cover the state deficit and that doesn’t take into other counties outstanding votes.

I wonder what the deadline is, to have the votes counted ?

i saw one debate...McSally was awful...she was a nervous wreck...kept repeating talking points...didn’t bring up the crazy stuff that Sinema said until the very end, and tried to cram it all in at once...shes the one who came off looking like a lunatic than the real lunatic, who simply remained calm and batted away her accusations..agreed, she wasn’t a very good candidate.

This is the biggest hurdle the GOP is going to have to overcome. The lack of good conservatives who can win, who even want to go through the aggravation of running for office.

Understand what the purpose of the whole Kavanaugh fiasco was about. It was a message to any conservatives who threaten the status quo that they are going to make your life a living hell if you decide to go against us. And if you can make a nice living in the private sector, why would anyone put themselves and their family through that?

agreed...i saw the Hawley-McCaskill debate in Missouri...he literally made her look like the imbecile she is...at the end of the debate, ol Claire actually had to apoligize for coming across so unhinged...

you’re saying that there is no difference between flake and sinema, when there is ample evidence from just a month ago that tell us that there is indeed a very large difference. he voted to confirm, and she would have voted to burn BK at the stake.

it’s just deranged. I know people are angry, but that’s no excuse to be ridiculous. he was a very poor conservative senator, but he was a better vote than sinema will be.

and, by the way, 51 when you have 3 that are dodgy is a hell of a lot better than 50 when 3 are dodgy.

In the long run it’s better to have an Enemy who is an enemy. A Republican “friend” who is an enemy needs to be defeated. I would rather have the seat but I wouldn’t rather have Flake. I may have been more disappointed if the Senate was lost because of it but it’s not. If the option was 51 with Flake or 51 without Flake I’d take 51 without Flake and that’s what we got. Only, we got better than that. It’ll probably be 53 (if they don’t steal Mississippi and Florida). So the option becomes 51 with Flake or 53 without Flake. Now, if the question is 53 without Flake or 54 with Flake...I think I’m ok with 53 without Flake.

The good news is Trump is down to one enemy instead of two.

you refuse to admit the obvious, which is flake is +1, while sinema is -1, and +1 is better than -1 anywhere, anyplace, and anytime.

Fake votes from illegals trying to vote as citizens. They are fakes, too.

In the short term yes. In the long run it turns into the whole party doing everything they can to get that +1. This is what has happened for far too long...what do we have to do to get Flake, Collins, Murkowski. Then they do it and that fact is every bit as bad as having a Dem in that place because you move the party on the right further to the left the more you try to get that +1.

I think sinema's misdirection about McSally taking away medical benefits hooked a lot of blue hairs. They would traditionally have been a very solid red vote block.

Sometimes I think we should return to competency testing to vote.
