Do they harvest the votes like they harvest body parts from aborted babies?

This isn’t a 2018, where only the Rats were ballot harvesting.

Turnout in Ventura county tonight is already reported at 50%. There are 35K votes already counted and it was only 50K in 2018. To get to 50%(2018 numbers) if turnout is the same Smith would need 66% of uncounted ballots, and that requires turnout to match 2018 (it won’t).

I’m pretty sure Garcia has this one.

Except that nail salons have been shut by diktat from the governor himself. And going by what he said recently, nail salons will be about the last place to open up again.

“The fraud De.ocrat votes will start rolling in after nightfall”
*******************************************
Quite right. The DemocRATS have been busy harvesting and manufacturing. Counts of that production will be dribbling in as long as it takes.

We went to vote in person last week..A couple of voting machines were set up at the parking lot of our community college...This area has been a republican area, so it was very disappointing to see Katie hill win in 2018..I think in part that was due to Steve Knight not doing a good job...Hopefully, some women have opened their eyes as to how little dems care about women when it’s a democrat who is accused of sexual harassment.

Wait until they open up those car trunks and count votes on Indian reservations.

Nate Silver tried to make the case that winning California and Wisconsin tonight demonstrated a “Blue Wave”

Question for the CA crew: I know we thought we had a chance here ... but how much of this gap is due to the Corona Gestapo, and is this a signal as to how Americans are reacting to lefty lockdown mania ... OR ... is this just a case of ... 'We got a good result today, maybe or maybe not it had a little to do w/Corona but there's no indication it's the first in a trend'

I know it's pretty early in 2020 elections and certainly early in the post-corona-era (we're not even though it) ... and it's a very subjective question ... but curious about your sense / intuition ...?

We appear to have won the other election in California - state senate district 28. Melissa Melendez the winner with 100 percent of precincts reporting.

This is not 2018.

I’m sure hoping it’s not. A victory tonight will be a major morale booster and will steel Congressional Republicans to resist and defeat the DemocRATS’ Phase 4 corruption!

He’s desperately wrong, but this is what Nate said,

“When a party consistently overperforms its usual partisan baseline in special elections, it bodes well for that party in the general election as well. So even a narrow loss by Zunker, if paired with a comfortable Smith win, would add to the evidence that another Democratic wave is building.”

Tonight’s results so far are from mail ballots. But Republicans also appeared to make up the majority of the steady trickle of voters at several polling places this morning.

A huge part of tonight’s win is that we(republicans) ballot harvested.

In 2018, we did NONE. Didn’t even know about the law.
