Think about the difference between who votes in national and statewide elections (for president and U.S. senate, for instance) and how those are counted – versus who votes in House races and how those are counted.
For the former, Democrats can and do run up the vote in the cities they own. Thus U.S. Senate seats can be and are stolen, as is the Presidential electoral vote in that state.
The same cannot be said in Congressional house races. For instance, Democrats can and do manufacture presidential votes in Detroit, which undercuts the actual vote in the rest of the state.
But when it comes to a House seat in, say, Rockford, Michigan, there's not a damn thing Democrats running the Detroit scam can do. Republicans can and will win a huge midterm wave vote in 2022 this way, and all the Eyores on our alleged side will be proven wrong.
Won't matter to them, however. Eyores gonna Eyore.
I get it, and yes, the scope is constrained. Would be nice to get the 17th amendment revoked, but I know that’s pie-in-the-sky.
