In Massive Blow To Democrats, Republicans Won Almost Every House Race That’s Key To Redistricting
American Lookout ^ | 11/19/2020 | Mike LaChance

While everyone is talking about the presidential election, one aspect of the 2020 race is being overlooked even though it’s huge.

Not only did Republicans make considerable gains in the House, that no one expected, they won most of the races that will entail redistricting.

This is like a double loss for Democrats.

From FiveThirtyEight:

Republicans Won Almost Every Election Where Redistricting Was At Stake

Every 10 years, after the census, congressional and state legislature districts are redrawn to account for population changes. This gives whoever is drawing the maps the power to maximize the number of districts that favor their party — a tactic known as gerrymandering. And as we wrote last month, the 2020 election represented the last chance for voters to weigh in on who would draw those maps.

p>Both parties went into the election with a chance to draw more congressional districts than the other, but the end result was just about the best-case scenario for Republicans. As the map below shows, Republicans are set to control the redistricting of 188 congressional seats — or 43 percent of the entire House of Representatives. By contrast, Democrats will control the redistricting of, at most, 73 seats, or 17 percent.

How did Republicans pull that off? By winning almost every 2020 election in which control of redistricting was at stake…

This is so important.

Combine this with the fact that Democrats are making Nancy Pelosi House Speaker again, and you have a perfect storm for 2022.

Republicans are already looking like the favorite to take back the House.

You have to look for silver linings for sure. There is this and there are all the judges that have been approved. We can hope for some sanity in the future as long as this election fraud system gets exposed and destroyed.

Dump all of the illegal votes from this election, and Nazi Pelousy loses her prized gavel - and Georgia won’t matter for Senate control.

The Red Wave was real, they just cheated enough to appear to have won.

For now.

What we are all living through right now is a historical event- a ‘General Election Crisis’, where the left have attempted to so bastardize the election process that no fair election can ever take place again

Thankfully there is a team of lawyers on the case who may just expose this whole corrupt process for the whole world to see- The world is watching- they are watching the attempt of corrupt politicians to destroy the election process so that only their candidate will ever win again

Jenna was right- We Must act now, (Well, they, the lawyers she meant), so that we do NOT become Venezuela- or Russia, or NK or any number of other corrupt election process country where dictators win by impossible numbers every time

This is historic- this is epic-

We’ve known corruption has taken place before, but never had the evidence that we have this election cycle-

Pray That God exposes the whole corrupt mess of it, and puts an end to it so that we can have fair elections (well as fair as is possible- there will always be soem cheating I suppose- but pray it never gets as bad as it did this election and possibly in 2012 when obama won under impossible odds against him- where historically no president had won a second terms when the country was so bad off like it was in 2016)

‘looking like’ the GOP can retake the House just with their redistricting!

“Pray That God exposes the whole corrupt mess of it”

+1. When I think of the GOP “choices” of Bush, Bush, Dole, Bush, Bush, McCain, and Romney it seems pretty corrupt.

What difference could that make anyway, given the massive amount of election fraud the Dems are permitted to perpetrate anyway?

All that matters in the modern US is the executive power.

The massive Federal bureaucracy and all its appurtenances and integrations into the private nonprofit sectors, NGO’s Quasi-NGO’s, and big business is an entity entirely outside normal politics. This system makes its own laws at whim, and can do anything with complete impunity. All it needs to do is interpret regulations and play games with compliance, in order to achieve effects, through blackmail if you want to go there, using even unrelated regulations, to make any private entity do whatever they want.

The formal overt process of legislating is nearly irrelevant.

Even IF, and that's a YYYUUUUGE IF Pedo Joe won fair and square, why do ballots end up in a foreign country? ANY election, whether it's for Presidential down to some local student council should stay in the US!

which is even more proof of fraud against Trump

Trump brings the votes along to these races, not the other way round

Trump packed ever venue he went to

People were not packing arenas for these races and reps

Unfortunately, it’s who counts the votes that are more important than who votes. But we knew that. Fraud has always been present - it’s a tradition, but no one does anything about it. We all know why in 1960 Nixon lost the presidential election by 9,000 votes in Illinois - fraud in Cook County. We know based on a partial recount in Detroit in 2016, the ballots were fed through the counter 3 times, and yet, NOTHING was done.

If Biden does get inugurated, we have to make sure his first two years are crippled by accusations of massive vote fraud, Chinese influence and criminal corruption of his family. Constant protersts, investigations, and lawsuits need to hammer him daily until we retake the House. Meanwhilew not a single one of his judicial nominees should be confirmed. Not one. Leave them all vacant if need be.

A Trump landslide made it so they couldn’t mess with the down ballot races.

Really there was no way that Trump was going to win with this much fraud so really this was the best possible outcome...

You’re very perceptive, although, the bribery you mention is legal in the way it’s doled out.

They should all thank President Trump and his supporters for these victories for rode in on his coat tail.
