Red Shockwave: A huge GOP blowout in Mike Garcia's CA-25 House race win -- with a wait for the ballot-harvest
American Thinker ^ | 05/13/2020 | Monica Showalter

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.

SO I guess that means that between this seat and the Wisconsin seat we only need 16 to flip the House now?

FReegards!

Now the Dems know exactly how many votes they need to “find” and report from their ballot harvest.

It is for the remainder of Katie Hill’s term, so he will be seated shortly after the election is called for him.

Trump lost CA 25 by 6 points in 2016. Plus Garcia is winning by a much bigger margin than Katie “The Slut” Hill did in 2018, a win which was probably due to fraud anyways.
Garcia’s win is a big win alright. No question. Its a big turn around.

The harvesters know now how many votes they need to harvest. The grim reapers will produce the required crop.

17.
Wisconsin was a hold.
However, there are 30 Dem seats in districts that Trump won in 2016. Looking good if Trump and GOP governors can turn the economy around in the red states.

Remember that Democrats control virtually all the big cities and thus count the votes in the cities. Cities also report their vote totals after the other parts of their states have reported. Remember Broward County. This November there will be at least fifty Broward Counties and most will not have incompetent vote manipulators as Broward did.

Also due to ballot harvesting, which is legal in California. There are no ‘big cities’ in CA-25. And it had been a Conservative stronghold in LA County for a couple of decades.

Our problem is figuring out how the Left is going to cheat in November. What new cheating ploy will there be, aside from an all mail-in vote? In 2018 here in Maricopa County, our Registrar counted ballots where the signatures weren’t even remotely like the ones on file. His ‘counting of the votes’ was never challenged. THAT is why they keep cheating, no one ever holds them accountable.

Question:

IF every single mail in vote envelope signature MUST be checked against the signature on your voter registration-—

How could ANY results be available so quickly???

On last Friday, May 8, California Governor Newsom ordered MAIL IN BALLOTS for every single registered California voter for the NOVEMBER General election.

HOW many ballots if that? 21 million or so? MORE?

HOW much is that going to cost?

Where are the persons who MUST verify the signature on the return envelope against your original registration?

Will the USPS EVEN stamp a postmark on those envelopes, making them legal?

Where are the machines that can scan & count all those ballots? We switched to electronic voting years ago.

Are those older machines in storage & have they even been maintained?

It might take until 2030 to get those votes counted!!!

Why can’t the Republicans ballot harvest too?

Rat Party Headquarters will find 85,000 votes that had been accidentally stored in a storage locker in Encino,....and 98% of them will be for the Rat.

This is a given. The ballot harvesting has "just begun." Bushels of nursing home ballots are now arriving in pick-up trucks to election headquarters.

As related above, 98% are for the DemocRAT.

Probably a dumb question but if ballot harvesting is legal, can’t we do it also?

We can't do it because the Democrat operatives get the ballots first for all the health care facilities and nursing homes. Seriously.

It's a little complicated, but, in essence, the Dem Operatives are alerted to the day the elderly are mailed their ballots. They then swarm the facilities to harvest the ballots. All before the Republicans are aware ballots are in the hands of thousands of electors.

Would this be worth it to the Dems to let it stand so they can say look, no problem with main-in votes?

exactly! If more pubbies ballot harvested, it would soon cease and be outlawed the way it should.
