In the past few days, Democrats have secured majority control of the Pennsylvania House and moved within one seat of ending Republican control of the New Hampshire House. Those wins are not aberrations. They are the latest measures of a nationwide blue wave that has seen Democrats outperform expectations in 24 of 30 special elections for open state legislative seats this year. Legislative contests that were once considered local or regional races are being nationalized, as concerns about abortion rights and voting rights—two issues that are up for grabs in statehouses—are putting Republican candidates in a perilous position.

The numbers back up Williams’s assessment. On average, according to a fresh assessment by the data crunchers at FiveThirtyEight, Democrats are finishing 11 points better than the historic voting patterns of their districts would have predicted. That doesn’t mean that they are winning every race; sometimes, they are merely closing the gap in heavily Republican districts. But in other cases, Democrats are flipping Republican seats and raising the prospect that they will take control of legislative chambers that are currently controlled by the GOP.

They’re still liberal.
Socially liberal + fiscally conservative == liberal oligarch
yup. haven’t trusted elections be fair or honest in many many years. Glad some are able to document some fraud but their is much that slides.
You don't know that.
Republicans have far more state and local offices to defend than Democrats. I think it will be different during the Presidential election.
The same voters who voted for Brian Kemp in Georgia but for the POTUS, they casted their ballots for Joe Biden.
Left wing BS...you can’t extrapolate a few idiot states into nationwide reality.
As long as abortion remains an issue, we will probably see another repeat of the election of 2020.
New York is going to gerrymander their districts so Republicans will lose 5-8 seats in that state alone.
bullcrap
Can’t beat cheating.
DemonRats have NEVER won an election without voter fraud.
Trump doesn’t stand a dog’s chance with how things are now.
“””Ronald Reagan was an actor. So he had a lot of training. That was why he was prepared to become President.”””
You don’t appear to know anything about Reagan.
Did you ever notice that even on this forum most people don’t seem to believe vote fraud has anything to do with it. They have a big list of other reasons though. Because conservatives like to be blind is why they are doomed.
It’s almost pathological at this point. I group of folks with daffy political instincts have been in control of the party since 2016 (taking control away from a corrupt establishment with bad political instincts). Now that the new groups policies aren’t triumphing at the polls, it’s easier for them to tell themselves that all of the losses are due to fraud. For the record, I think that there is some fraud. I think there probably always has been to some degree. But, if I had to bet on it, these losses aren’t do to fraud. They’re happening because the new brand has motivated the opposition more than it’s own voters. I’d also venture to say that all of the supporters who badmouth all other Republicans as establishment deep staters have created this storm by ensuring that their voters don’t want to vote for other Republicans candidates because they now believe they aren’t worth it. They have created a cluster farm 🙄😵💫😵😳😒
Cards up you sleeve, dealing from the bottom of the deck, shuffling the cards under the table, that's all about skill in the mechanics of the game not about winning..
The professional politicians and lawyers own the game now. Honesty and fair play left that town a long time ago..
I can’t believe this many people are that stupid. My only guess is that the art of stealing elections has been perfected.
Good luck with that. Have you heard the way a lot of the guys on here talk. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve been told my place is in a kitchen making sandwiches. I think you completely overstate the emotional stuff. Are you aware of how emotive & hormonal the modern male has become? 😉
