The fraud was all over the place. Quit being naïve. No we weren’t going to win them all, but what happened was planned fraud and it is still going on in a few states as we speak.
Please, just stop with fraud is why the GOP lost...
Was their fraud, sure... always is, but idea that this election was lost wholesale do to fraud is crap.
The GOP ran CRAP candidates.. did not remotely press their advantage.. etc etc.
I have worked my polling place for nearly a decade, every single election.. its a smaller district, I know personally every single person who walks in the door, I also know every single person who sent in a mail in ballot.
The district has a slight republican majority, and OZ LOST IT... he didn’t lose it because of fraud. He lost it, just like he lost all of PA, because he was a LOUSY, OFF BRAND candidate.... period.
There was no hanky panky of fraud the happened there, OZ was just a crap candidate, period... he didn’t lose PA due to fraud he lost PA due to the fact he was utterly off brand and a lousy candidate, period... and it was clear he was going to lose from the start.
Only reason it even got within 3 was because Fetterman had a stroke, had he been healthy, Oz would have lost by 6-8 points.
Run crap candidates get a crap result.
I warned folks OZ was off brand and going to lose this from the start, because other than the idiot flappy head pundits selling a whole lot of dog poop, I actually know this state and its electorate pretty well... you aren’t going to win statewide in PA if even your own party voters are pretty much saying as a whole, this election is crap, our candidate is a joke, but we’ll vote for him because he’s at least not the other guy... That ain’t EVER gonna get it done statewide in PA for a Republican in a high profile and contested race, EVER.
Run crap candidates get crap results.
Oz lost my district, not because of fraud, but because he was a flat out, off brand and lousy candidate, and it was blaring obvious from the start to anyone who’s actually spent more than 10 minutes on the ground in PA outside of the Philly/NJ Border area. But those flappy lipped idiots out of DC and NYC bloviated to the ignorant masses just how great Oz was and folks bought it and refused to hear anything that countered it.
What happened in my district happened all over the state, Oz won in most of the places any Republican will always win, but not remotely by the margins’ needed to remotely counter the Democrat strongholds.. and he NEVER WAS GOING TO BE ABLE TO.
He was just a flat out crap candidate.
Mastriano in PA was even more of a joke, didn’t help that the establishment didn’t want him, but fact he would only even talk to conservative media guaranteed he was going to be stillborn... Fraud didn’t cause him to lose either.
When you run crap candidates you get crap results.... The GOP not only ran a LOT of crap candidates, they also failed to even remotely push their advantage at all.
They just sat back and tried to rely on big ad buys to somehow get the job done... they weren’t remotely on the pavement the way they should have been.
Was their fraud? I am sure there was, there is always some fraud, but OZ going down had NOTHING to do with fraud. Walker struggling? Nope not because of fraud... etc.
When you run lousy candidates you get lousy results.
