Jayapal: It's worth passing spending plan even if Dems lose House
The Hill ^ | 11/05/2021 | ARIS FOLLEY

Congressional Progressive Caucus Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) said on Friday that it’s worth Democrats passing the party’s sweeping social spending and climate change package even if they lose the House in next year’s midterm elections.

Jayapal was asked early Friday ahead of an expected vote on the legislation if it's worth the party passing the legislation if it could help the GOP take back the House next year, just as Republicans did in 2010 following passage of the Affordable Care Act.

They tried. McAwful received the highest vote ever for a Dem Gov candidate, more than 200,000 more than Northam. As was the case in 2016, the Dems underestimated the Rep turnout.

Right.

And Youngkin's campaign was PREPARED, according a FR poster.

Poll watchers everywhere, lawyers in the right places, people in from outstate to help monitor the "vote".

They were also watching the mail-in drop boxes.

It helped that only two states out East were having a gubernatorial election, so the manpower could be spared.

A national election would stretch the watchers thin.

House races, however, are spread throughout any given state. The only fraud that is likely to occur there, will happen to Reps in those fraud-prone districts, only.

True.

The Democrats did indeed engage in US House seat-stealing in 2020 - but it's a mystery as to why they lost so many House seats, even as they were stealing some.

It doesn't add up with the Brandon "vote".
