Bera is clearly fraud. Don’t count Tacherra out yet. The Fresno votes put Costa up, and there are two counties left, both friendly to Tacherra
So that's at least 4 stolen races in Cali alone, if not all 7 of the closet races, including the 31st which should have been R/R to begin with and State Controller, stolen in the primary which should have also resulted in an R/R race.
Hey Boehner, Each House shall be the Judge of the Elections, Returns and Qualifications of its own Members. Send Costa, Bera, Brownley, Peters, Delaney, Slaughter, and any other thief (ALL narrow rat wins are suspect and must be investigated, Graham's daughter in Florida-2, MN-8, Nebraska-2) back home crying and screaming and seat their rightfully elected GOP opponents, used to happen all the time. What's the downside? The media will whine "Racist!!! Coup d'etat!!!" they do that anyway, F them. Mitch, you should do the same with the WARNER.
THE CHICAGO WAY= the only way to deal with rat pigs.
Costa always finds enough lost ballots to win.
He should worry .... an unknown challenger almost pulled the election away from him.
100% agree. We need to sue the cheating rats!
Suing isn’t even necessary, correct me if I’m wrong but if the Senate votes that Warner lost for example lost, then he lost, and no court can seat him (without flagrantly violating the constitution).
Don’t rely on Mitch for anything
That is correct, the Senate is the sole judge of the elections of its members.
AMWN, AMEN, AMEN!!!!!!
Itooks like Tacherra indeed will lose: http://www.fresnobee.com/2014/11/14/4235299/fresno-county-16th-congressional.html?sp=/99/406/263/
If Tacherra wants to challenge the results, he needs to come up with (i) a specific allegation (e.g., they let non-citizens vote, or they counted ballots that were faulty), and (ii) evidence to substantiate the allegations. He’s not going to convince 218 Republicans to seat him instead of Costa by saying “it was so close, and so many of the a sentee and provisional ballots in Fresno went to Costa, the he *must* have cheated.”
If I have this right, we will have not only not won ANY seats in CA, we will have lost the open GOP one ? Not only does this not pass the smell test, this is outrageously suspect. We had at least a half-dozen seats where the combined GOP totals in the all-party primary exceeded the Democrats. That the CA Dems have seemingly “kept counting” until their incumbents miraculously won demands an investigation by the House.
Note, too, that this also doesn’t jibe with the legislative returns, where the GOP did make gains to halt a supermajority of Dems. One doesn’t happen without the other, plus you’d think they’d be more likely to try to fix THAT from happening less so than on the federal side.
The way the congressional districts were drawn in CA, it’s not really surprising that we would hit a wall at 48% or 49% even under ideal circumstances—the RATs got liberal Democrats to register as “independents” and serve in the redistricting commission, and gerrymandered the U.S. House seats in an efficient manner. And it was to be expected that the GOP candidate on the general-election ballot would fail to receive the sum of the GOP percentages in the jungle primary: even if he consolidated the entire GOP vote, the turnout in the general election leaned more Democrat than in the jungle primary in almost all of these races because the Democrat incumbent didn’t face a strong Democrat primary challenger (the only close race where Democrats were motivated to vote in the jungle primary—the open CA-31—saw Democrats get more votes than Republicans in the jungle primary, and then basically match those percentages in the general).
I reiterate, it’s going to take more than “they won all the close ones” or “the votes that gave the RATs the lead were counted later” to convince 218 House Republicans to seat te Republican challenger instead of the Democrat that was certified by the state as the winner. Tacherra et al need to discover actual evidence of fraud, or at the very least of negligence in allowing illegal votes to be counted. A Republican House permitted Loretta Sanchez to remain seated even after Bob Dornan proved that a certain number of non-citizens were allowed to vote, because *the number of illegal votes that he discovered was smaller than Sanchez’s victory margin*. So any Republican that challenges the results needs to come up with concrete evidence that raises questions as to the out ome (and not just the margin) of the election, and if they can’t come up with anything compelling and Republicans in the House votes down their challenge it would be unfair to call them “cowards” or “RINOs.” I am as quick as anybody to point out Republican cowardice (and I would be happy if VA’s GOP Speaker were defeated in a primary next year after he ruled that the state Senate’s amendment to a redistricting cleanup bill (which completely the Senate map, when the original House bill made minor changes to correct errors) was “not germane,” thus allowing the RAT gerrymander to stay in place for the 2013 elections), but ee can’t expect Republicans to act unlawfully even if the Democrats do so when they’re in power.
The GOP House in January 1997 didn’t want to touch the Dornan-Sanchez contest with a 10 foot pole. Ditto the equally fraudulent Jenkins-Landrieu Senate theft in Louisiana. I say where there’s smoke, there’s fire, and those districts need an extremely close scrutiny. Whether the GOP has the balls to do it, well, we know the answer to that...
In 1997, a House committee investigated the Dornan challenge for months, and permitted Dornan to lobby congressmen in the well of the House. The committee’s report said that X number of illegal votes were discovered, but since it was well below Sanchez’s official victory margin that it did not recommend Sanchez being excluded from the House. We can say that thousands of additional illegal votes were cast, but if we don’t have evidence we can’t expect the House to exclude Sanchez and either seat Dornan or state that a new election needs to be held. Same with the Landrieu-Jenkins race: we can say that Landrieu probably paid off black voters to go to the polls, or that votes were manufactured fraudulently, but without hard evidence (and, no, a statistical regression analysis doesn’t count) the Senate wasn’t going to overturn the official state certification.
BTW, I mispoke when I said that Speaker Howell’s cowardice kept VA from using more favorable Senate district lines in 2013. The special senate elections held in late 2013 (or maybe early 2014) would have been held under the old lines even had Howell allowed the Senate bill to be voted upon by the GOP House (where it would have passed and been signed by Gov. McDonnell), since they were for the remainder of the term fir senators elected in 2011 under the old lines; the new lines wouldn’t have been used until the quadrennial senate elections in 2015.
Here’s the latest on the uncalled races:
Alaska Senate- With nearly all the votes counted, Mark Begich has narrowed San Sullivan’s lead from 8,200 votes to about 7,700. Only about 14,000 are left to be counted. Begich still hasn’t conceded, but he would have to win at least 90% of those votes to win.
AZ-2 Martha McSally leads Ron Barber by 161 votes at the latest count. A recount will happen and Barber will try to get about 700 disqualified ballots from the Tuscon area included.
CA-26 Jeff Gorell conceded yesterday, Julia Brownley leads by about 3,200 votes.
CA-16 It’s still down to the wire. Jim Costa leads Johnny Techerra by exactly 700 votes.
CA-7 Ami Bera leads Doug Ose by 697 votes. A recount is certain.
Well you know how I feel, knife, gun, Chicago way. Time for a gutter war.
To them the law is just something to manipulate to get what they want. Does the high road go all the way to victory town?
It’s like we’re playing chess......against ourselves, while they’re out on the street slinging crack, knocking off liquor stores, and sexually assaulting every woman they see.
Forgive the inelegant analogies.
Investment in gutters will reap gutter slime. Every single time.
The problem is we are afraid to press plain old righteousness too hard — less it turn and devour sinful us.
DJ tells me that the Virgin Islands had their Governor runoff this week. I didn’t even bother to check, I presumed the rat Cong Delegate Donna Christensen had won easily on election day but she placed 2nd 46%-39%, a runoff was necessary. She was CRUSHED in the runoff, 64%-36% by Independent Citizens Movement candidate Kenneth Mapp, who lost in 2010.
Not exactly a GOP win (GOP is dead there) but a humiliating loss for the rats, goes a little way towards making up for that pig ***king commie, Walker, winning in Alaska.
