Well, I put “lost” in quotes for a reason, my point in mentioning it was that I can believe some small ticket splitting occurred between well off suburbanites that hate Trump and want a rat Congress to harass him but don’t want Mr. San Fran to be the their tax-happy Governor, so I can buy Cox doing a little better in the OC than the Congressional candidates.
The Issa seat is the only one in the state that MIGHT be a legit rat gain. The other Rs (IIRC, Dana R might have been slightly down) all lead after the actual election day ballots were counted (and rat Ami Bera wasn’t winning by much)
You may have noticed polls actually underestimated rat performance in Cali and Nevada, another indication of fraud (and it was the same thing in 2016).
I should assemble a comprehensive list of races I suspect involved levels of Democrat fraud enough to call into question the outcome since 1994.
