Red Shockwave: A huge GOP blowout in Mike Garcia's CA-25 House race win -- with a wait for the ballot-harvest

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.

Funny. But don’t laugh. At the height of the IRS identity theft crisis (which still goes on), over 10,000 fraudulent refunds were sent to a single address in Chicago, and over 5,000 were sent to each of two addresses in Florida. I was one of the victims. For a long time, I just assumed that some illegal alien had stolen my Social Security number. But when I saw those numbers, I realized that it had to be organized crime. Apparently, even the postman was in on it. The case of Chicago was particularly interesting. Chicago? Well, you know, this WAS Obama’s IRS.

That might be the case. OR they might not want to tip their hand as to exactly how they will cheat in the fall elections.

Wisconsin was a hold.

We are moving there. Noticed when we were looking that there are actual Trump signs out.

Bushels of nursing home ballots are now arriving...

The new virtue signal is how strictly the nursing homes are locked down..

Might just be a problem to ballot harvest there.

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

17

After 2018 we were at 200 seats.

Then Amash’s treachery left us with 199.

Then that New Jersey guy switched to the GOP getting us back to 200.

Now if rats are unable to steal the CA-25 seat, we will be at 201, leaving us 17 shy of the necessary 218.

All other special elections - like WI and NC - did not result in a partisan change.

Not only did it require Ballot Harvesting to win but it had the assist of the Muller investigation.

He knew from the beginning that there was nothing there but was trying to influence the election which he did so successfully.

What about the votes that will be found in the trunk of a car owned by a democrat party official?
