Republicans Have Won 6 Million More Votes than Democrats in House Races, But Gained Relatively Few Seats
Breitbart ^ | 11/10/2022 | JOEL B. POLLAK

Republicans have won nearly six million more votes nationwide in races for the House of Representatives, but have flipped relatively few seats, suggesting talk of a “red wave” may have anticipated the overall mood of the country but not the final result of the election.

According to the Cook Political Report, as of Thursday morning, November 10, Republicans have won 50,113,534 votes, or 52.3% of the vote, compared to 44,251,768, or 46.2% of the vote. Republicans lead by 6.1%, which is better than their average in “generic congressional ballot” polls, in which the party led by 2.5% in the final RealClearPolitics average before the election. But Republicans have only managed to flip nine seats thus far — likely enough to control the House, but far short of a “wave” result many anticipated.

I’ve watched this kind of voter fraud in Harris County Texas for many years. Rodner Ellis and Shelia Jackson-Lee (she is no Barbara Jordan, I knew Barbara Jordan) have two LLC’s that do vote fraud year round.

The political class overall are criminals in the first place but the Democrats have zero morals (baby killers) so they have no respect for law and order. Their underlings could care less if a few of them get caught because there is no punishment. They steal, buy or create votes and you could see that in the 2020 numbers where Biden did not upswing the down ballot candidates because the system was manipulated to conjure up votes for mainly him. Today, the Democrats have systematic fraud they employ down the ballot. I weep for this country because truly Godless and evil people run it almost everywhere. Criminals who think the can kill the unborn, change the sex of humans and control the weather while destroying the foundation of the industrial base of this country by selling their souls for green energy fantasies. We are not doomed, we are already doomed.

My best suggestion? Buy a very good gas mask.

“That is a big factor another factor is the Census Bureau admits “mistakes” in the recent census that resulted in few seats going to red states and blue states not losing as many.”

The most recent Census was conducted in 2020, the last year of the Trump Administration. The Trump administration was in office the 3 years prior to the field execution of the Census and during the collection of data. If there were problems with the census, the first place to go for accountability is the Department of Commerce, where the Census Bureau resides.

Through the four years of the Trump Administration, the Department of Commerce was headed by businessman and investment banker Wilbur Ross. Ross was not a Washington insider. His relationship with Trump began when he bailed out Donald Trump’s Atlantic City in the early 1990’s. At the time Trump appointed Ross, the appointee was 79 years old.

If there were “mistakes” in the 2020 US Census the blame should be placed on the administration who prepared and conducted the census. Given the Census is one of the requirements of the federal government specifically prescribed and required by the Constitution, it should have been the number 1 priority of the Department of Commerce during the four years of the Trump administration.

Many conservatives excuse the poor quality and performance of senior Trump appointees to high office, claiming they were Washington insiders forced on Trump by Mitch McConnell. Wilbur Ross was someone Trump had known, and personally worked with, for 25 years before he was nominated by Trump for the job.

No excuses, Wilbur Ross was 100% Trump’s man. Trump kept him in office the entire four years so the president must have been satisfied with Ross’s performance despite the failures at the census bureau.

It could be what you said about Wilbur Ross, it could be people like Wilbur Ross simply didn’t understand that everything in Washington is politically corrupt and Democrats who are experts will take advantage of every situation possible.

The Census Bureau knew what the population trends are, people are moving to Red State and leaving Blue States and they began to plan out how to corrupt the system.

I think 10-12 seats should have been added to Red States, most of them would have been won by Republicans.

Imagine right now if another 10-12 Republicans would have already won cementing the majority while we fight over the remaining undecided seats.

I truly wish Texas would do this; create an electoral college system for state offices!

Sooner or later, the large counties of Harris, Dallas, Bexar, Travis, and El Paso will be populated enough to overrule the other 249 counties!!

Fetterman in PA was the most glaring example, but it happened in many states.

Something smells rotten in the state of Denmark.

It means the red voters already voted with their feet before the election.

They moved to Texas, Florida, etc.

IMHO, it would have solved previous problems, problems we have now and problems we will have in the future.
