Sorry, you are deluding yourself on this entire topic.
2020 was a demonstrable fraud.
2022 was a horrible candidate, period.
Was their fraud in 2022? of course, there is always fraud, but if you think Fetterman won this race due to fraud you are just in self denial.
To win as an R in a statewide race in PA you need to get every single R vote you can find and then win independents by more than 2 to 1... and/or peel away an insane amount of Democrats from their candidate.
OZ had ZERO, absolutely ZERO chance of pulling that off... There was ZERO enthusiasm on the ground for this turd, even among republican voters.. you think you are going to win independents by more than 2 to 1 with a candidate who can’t even excite the base? Be serious.

Go ahead, show me the fraud... show me... show me where Fetterman massively overperformed for a Democrat.. GO ahead, I’ll wait.
Reality is he didn’t, due to his stroke he was an very weak candidate too, but he was a weak candidate in a state where 46% of the electorate are registered democrat.
Reality is Fetterman got fewer votes than Casey did in the last Senate race here in 2018.... That’s right the oh so miraculous fraud machine that dominates it all now, put fewer votes in the box for Fetterman than Casey got in 2018...
The Fraud claim is garbage.
Was their fraud in PA? There is fraud in every election, but the claim that OZ lost due to fraud is just flat out hogwash.
Oz was a crap candidate.
Oz grossly underperformed EVERYWHERE in the state... in terms of vote percentages he only beat Trump in 3 counties I believe, that’s it.. he was a DUD...
He had an opponent that couldn’t campaign and 100,000,000 behind him, he could not have asked for any more to go in his favor as a Republican and he still lost... he was off brand turd.. pure and simple.
He was so bad, that for that $100,000,000 they pumped behind him, he wound up with a whopping 250k more votes than the last Republican to run for the senate got here, who only had $10,000,000 spent on him... So for $90,000,000 Oz got a whopping 250k more votes.. or for $90,000,000 he out performed the last Senate election by 11%.
Run a crap candidate get a crap result. Oz did not lose due to fraud.. he lost because he was an off brand candidate who never had a prayer.
Being a Muslim from New Jersey probably didn’t help his cause either.
And the fact that the person who made Oz famous in the first place (Blowprah) endorsed Fetterman.
Yeah that was a bad plan from the beginning.
It wouldn’t have mattered what GOP candidate would have run. Fetterman was going to win. Quoting a bar patron near Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania ‘He looks like one of us!’. I heard similar statements in Point Marion and elsewhere in blue collar Pa. He made that sale way before this past election.
We just know they can and will fraudulently increase the number of ballots they need to win.
This year, less ballots needed. We actually have no idea how many legitimate and fraudulent votes there are, and it’s IRRELEVANT because they WILL fraud a win every time.
Traditional political analysis is a misdirection and waste of time.
