Alaska win puts Republicans a seat away from keeping Senate majority
New York Post ^ | November 11, 2020 | 1:17pm | Mark Moore

Dan Sullivan won re-election in Alaska on Wednesday — putting the Republicans within one seat of maintaining their majority in the U.S. Senate.

The Republican incumbent defeated independent challenger Al Gross who was running with the backing of Democrats, meaning control of the Senate will come down to two runoff elections in Georgia between GOP Sen. Kelly Loeffler and the Rev. Raphael Warnock and Republican Sen. David Perdue and Democrat Jon Ossoff.

Democrats have 48 seats in the Senate

If Michigan votes can be proven to be compromised for the president—does John James have any recourse. he was also in the lead for a good chunk of election day if i recall

Perdue has a chance of avoiding runoff if he can get above 50% in recount. That would give Repubs 51 .

The Reps control GA - the Gov and legislature. Why don’t they pass a law preventing people from moving into the state just to vote?

Who’s paying for their moves? Would that kind of vote buying be legal?

Correct but the GOP needs a win in one of
the two Georgia races that haven’t been
called to be at 51-49.

James got screwed by Notoriously Crooked Wayne County (Detroit). Wayne County has been fixing elections for decades. Everybody knows it, but it never changes.

Gary Peters? What has that guy ever done? I heard he pitched for the Chicago White Sox back in the 1960s.

Here are the current numbers for that race:

Perdue 2,458,576 49.71%
Ossoff 2,371,988 47.96%

Someone who is good at math could probably come up with how many votes would be needed for Perdue or lost for Ossoff, to get to 50%

Whistling past the January 2021 Georgia vote fraud.

It'll be in your face, and the Media will claim it's not happening.

If the Pubbies surrender-monkey on the current vote fraud...

Yes...praying John’s seat goes back to him, as it should, w/all of this blatant fraud, in MI and across the country.

Any Biden/Ossoff votes (with no down-ticket votes) need to be audited using the approach below—should be _easy_ to catch fraudulent Ossoff votes since many jurisdictions still have the ballots at the local precinct:

How To Find A Million Fraudulent Biden Ballots (no watermark required)!

(1) Identify ballots with sole vote cast for Biden

(2) Identify the state representative (not Congress, state = small districts) for the precinct.

(3) Verify that the state representative candidates on the ballot match the state representatives that should be on ballots in the precinct.

(4) Disqualify as fraudulent any ballots where the state representative candidates and the precinct do not match.

(5) Trump/Pence is re-elected.

“The Reps control GA - the Gov and legislature. Why don’t they pass a law preventing people from moving into the state just to vote?”

This would require calling an emergency session of the GA legislature, which is not scheduled to be in session again until January 11, 2021. In any case, it appears that current GA law prevents those who were not eligible to vote in the November 3rd general election from voting in the runoff election. The relevant section of the law, at the link below, is (a)(10).

My quick, approximate calculations indicate that Perdue needs to get 14,344 more votes. He needs 50% + 1 of the 4,945,838 total votes cast.

St. Michael, Archangel, defend us in battle.

Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.

May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host,

by the power of God, cast into Hell,

Satan and all his evil spirits who roam about the earth

seeking the destruction of souls.

The GOP get the House in 2022? Hell, I haven't given up hope for them in 2020.

If sufficient election fraud is uncovered and acted upon, I can see more House seats going to the GOP in the coming weeks.

When Trump goes in for a second term and the GOP retains the Senate, I see the possibility of a small number of Dems switching to R to form an R majority in the House. The temptation to belong to the majority is stronger than continuing to serve as Nancy Pelosi's pawn.
