Has a mighty swing of the political pendulum finally come in California? Has political sleaze finally flipped a Democrat stronghold? Have the blue-state lockdown orders finally snapped voters to their senses?
Sure looks like it - a red shockwave, as Breitbart News put it. Former Navy fighter pilot Mike Garcia, a Republican endorsed by President Trump, looks set for a huge upset win in California's special election for House District 25. At last count, he had a 12 percentage point margin of victory.
According to the Ventura County Star:
Republican Mike Garcia assumed a commanding lead over Democrat Christy Smith in a nationally watched special election Tuesday for a 25th Congressional District both parties see as their turf.
As of midnight, with more than 142,000 votes counted in an election conducted almost totally by mail because of COVID-19, Garcia held 56% of the vote. Smith had 44% and trailed by more than 17,000 votes.
That's in the race for the congressional seat vacated by scandal-ridden Democrat Katie Hill, who resigned in disgrace after introducing us all to the word 'throuple,' and getting herself under investigation for an affair with a young intern and a political operative, strictly forbidden by Congress's own laws. She also treated us to naked pictures of her tattooed self smoking a bong which surfaced on the Internet, something she said was the work of an embittered ex-husband. Seems that being that third man in the throuple is tough. The Democrat went out with a proud red dress, casting her last vote for President Trump's impeachment, and has since been ignored by other congressmembers ever since, despite her insistence that she still matters.

How many days past election day does CA allow people to cast ballots?
(Oh, wait...we’re expected to believe all voting stops on election day.. my bad).
Note tagline.
“Oh, look … I found a box of ballots.”
Count on it.
They just need to know how many votes they need to make it look respectable.
Trump has slaughtered Democrat, Joe Biden In Nebraska POTUS Primary election, winning by about 125,000 vote victory margin...Biden is dead politically!!! And the GOP won the Special House Election in Wisconsin with a massive victory!!!
Democrat Party is dying politically by the hands of themselves and Pelosi & Schumer, etc.!!! Case closed!!!
It’s California, the election winner will be decided by the vote counters, not the voters.
The high water mark from the 2016 election is 240k votes, I believe. I think off-cycle it hits 168k votes.
So I’m curious how many votes the DNC will mail today to try and win this.
OK,so there were 475 voters listed as having lived in Apartment 10 of 12265 Encino Blvd West...are you gonna make something of it?
Democrats need to know Americans are coming after them.
In the article in the newspaper of my former home, it was pointed out that Garcia voters trailed Smith voters in the final tally in the Primary. But they never said that the number of Republican Primary voters was higher than Dems. And Garcia only trailed in numbers because the other Republicans split the vote. And that paper usually leans Right. Hope Garcia can overcome the Left’s cheating. But the comments after the article say ‘oooh, you won a seat for 6 months!’. Wait for November when we (the Left) will take the seat back!’ (ParaphrasIng many of the comments listed)
Dem cheating will be off the wall in November. We had better be vigilant. And Friday before this race, the Dems opened up another voting place in a heavily Dem area of Lancaster saying it was needed. Just another manipulation of the ‘rules’.
Katie Hill won the district in 2018 and the last time the democrats held that district was 1990.
I believe Stalin said that too.
I expect exactly 18,000 votes to be found in the back of someone’s car.
All for the Democratic candidate, of course.
And the media will pass this off as completely normal...
I was bothered by that too - that area is NOT a democrat stronghold, especially Santa Clarita.
Katie Hill may have gotten in by ballot harvesting, as so many Dems “won” in the OC.
Thank you for your post that this was not a Rat stronghold. I was about to point that out when I read your post. Having said that, the level if support for the GOP in this election is nice to see and shows how energized the base is.
Dem up up 2% with 10% in - called
Rep up by 12% with 76% in - too close to call
That must be a *very* large apartment!
“How many votes will she need to defeat the GOP candidate?”
Ca Dem, “We won’t know till we see how many votes Mike Garcia receives.”
