Statewide elections in Pennsylvania are won and lost in the suburbs of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. Barnette is from suburban Philadelphia — and LOST the only race she ran for elected office there (for Congress in 2020).
Not entirely a fair assessment. PA-4, where Barnette ran, was a deliberately Demonrat-gerrymandered seat illegally and unconstitutionally drawn by the criminal PA Demonrat Supreme Court. Despite that, she outperformed the 2018 GOP nominee by 4%. That’s not even counting the tons of election fraud that occurred there.
If that were true, how did Toomey get elected?
The elections are stolen in both philly and pburgh, but during the mid-terms, it is harder for the demonRATs to cheat and more eyeballs will be on them.
There are not going to be unguarded ballot dump boxes, most of the college undergrads will be gone from the schools so Pitt, CMU etal will be basically empty and the yute vote won't be as strong.
Even residents of philly and pburgh buy gas and pay for food, and running as a demonRAT in today's environment isn't going to be easy.
Kathy's 2020 race was lost in same 'middle-of-the-night' manner as President Trump. I saw her that evening after the polls closed, and things looked very solid. In the morning when the election wizards had done their work, the results had flipped for both of them. It has been learned that there are many phantom voters in our area, and there is video of ballot box stuffing. She called it 'death by a thousand cuts'. I witnessed a few of those cuts, and I believe her statement is accurate. Whether she or any candidate on the right can overcome the dirty PA electoral machinery is a fair question, but I support her. I trust her to do right by PA if she can get into office. Smarmy slippery RINOs can take a flying leap.
