Sweeping GOP state legislature wins ensure redistricting control, cast doubt on Biden victory claims; This is the first coattail election with no coat
American Thinker ^ | 11/06/2020 | Thomas Lifson

As J.R, Dunn quipped a couple of hours ago, “This is the first coattail election with no coat.”  President Trump drew a vast number of his supporters to the polls, and they paid attention to down-ballot races. How odd that the suspicious Biden votes that keep getting discovered didn’t include state legislative races and dogcatcher votes (in their haste?)

The Washington Examiner realizes what a big loss the Democrats  suffered (except for those late-discovered Biden votes):

Democrats had been hoping their landslide victory would hand them power in a number of new state legislative chambers.

This was key to their goal of cementing themselves into power. Not only would it give them opportunities to advance their policy agenda, but it would also hand them much greater control over the redistricting process than they had enjoyed in 2011.

Alas, with only Arizona’s results still outstanding, it appears that Democrats failed to flip even a single legislative chamber in their favor. The latest tally by the National Conference of State Legislatures suggests that Republicans gained full legislative control in New Hampshire (and thus full control of the state government), and that's about it.

This failure will echo through the next decade. Democrats, given greater power at the state level, could have erected massive obstacles to Republicans’ goal of staging a post-Trump comeback. Instead, they now look forward to a second dismal decade of living under maps they did not themselves draw.

A for the US Congress, despite far more Senate GOP incumbents up for re-election, it appears the GOP will hold onto a majority. On Twitter, lots of people noticed the missing blue wave:

It’s bullshit and everyone knows it. A good chunk of those ballots are not legit and the most sinister part is that there is no way to really verify them.

Just looking at the numbers lets anyone with a BRAIN know something is fishy.

When my wife asked me before the elections who I think will win, I said -— if it is a FAIR and TRADITIONAL election, Trump wins hands down. Which means registered voters PHYSICALLY go to the designated polling place to vote.

However, because of Covid-19, many states ( especially the swing states ) allowed people to mail-in ballots. I said to myself — this is a recipe for disaster because there are no rules in place to guarantee that the post office will reach the polling place in time with a person’s ballot with tens of millions sending their votes LATE. And there is no guarantee that people will not be filling these up fraudulently.

LO and behold, my fears were realized. Georgia ( which Trump was leading by over a hundred thousand two days ago ), somehow, continued to count mail in ballots long after the polls closed and now Biden has overtaken Trump there by a few thousand votes as I write this. They keep counting and counting lately submitted mail-in ballots and somehow, a huge number of them are for Biden!

This election’s integrity has been compromised and whoever is the winner will forever be tainted as illegitimate.

The right thing to do would be to cancel all votes in swing states and do a re-vote using TRADITIONAL means of voting that has worked so well for hundreds of years. Unfortunately, I don’t think this will happen. :(, we will have a disputed result like most third world countries.

The DEMS are making adjustments to their fraud.
Recent video, if accurate, show workers filling in ballots.
Is part of the reporting delays due to the time needed to fill out the down ballots on the thousands of solitary Biteshit votes?

...the first coattail election with no coat

The statistical abnormalities in this election are screaming "fraud". When recounts / audits of the results are conducted massive fraud will be uncovered.

As Hillary stated, “Joe Biden should not concede under any circumstances, because I think this is going to drag out, and eventually I do believe he will win if we don't give an inch, and if we are as focused and relentless as the other side is.”

We're turning the tables and using their rules. No concession. Full recount with observers.

What’s wrong with this picture?

Georgia voters re-elected a very conservative Republican Senator with a 100,000 vote margin of victory.

And then turned around and voted for Joe Biden after Trump was leading at nearly the same numbers as the Senator and they managed to “find” ballots LATE yesterday that allowed Biden to catch up? I don’t believe that for a heartbeat.

If they’re stupid enough to do that, and I would not put it past them, then an audit will then turn up even *more* discrepancies in the totals.

“This is the first coattail election with no coat.”

How can people wrap their head around that?

There is an unwritten agreement that if the cheating is only used against President Trump that the GOP will look the other way. Christie and others have already stabbed President Trump in the back. What are the chances that all these newly counted Biden votes would affect only the Presidential race and not flip the Senate?

I personally prefer a RE-VOTE in all disputed states -— Michigan, Wisconsin, even Georgia !!

Voting the TRADITIONAL WAY that has worked so well for hundreds of years -— REGISTERED VOTERS PHYSICALLY GO TO THEIR VOTING PLACE !! ( no mail-ins !! ). With poll watchers from both major parties present to observe.

Do these cucks not understand that these will be wiped out entirely by voter fraud? What a bunch of idiots. They will be gone within 2 years. Keep the focus on the Presidency, this is the only game that matters!

Anyone distracting us from this end game focus is part of the other side.

Another tell of the fraud is the massive support among the black community (30-40% approval), yet they’re saying only 14% (I think) black people voted for Trump.

They should be pissed their votes are being changed in the back rooms of their cities.

Yes. It is odd.

This is NY state minus the Presidential results.

It may come to the point where we need independent observers from a country like Switzerland to oversee our elections. This before we become too banana-republicish.
