Cortez Masto defeats Laxalt in Nevada, handing Democrats control of the Senate
NBC News ^ | November 12, 2022 | Natasha Korecki

LAS VEGAS — Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, the first Latina elected to the Senate, will hold onto her seat in Nevada after enduring a bruising campaign against Republican Adam Laxalt, who fell short of ousting the Democrat despite severe midterm headwinds, NBC News projects.

The outcome follows days of protracted mail-in ballot counting, with the results resting largely with the state’s most populous county, Clark County, which posted updates once a day since Tuesday. A race long predicted to be within the margin of error was indeed close through the end.

Latino voters here helped power the results after both candidates invested heavily in courting them. Latinos were expected to make up 1 in 5 midterm voters, but the NBC News Exit Poll in the state suggests those expectations fell short, with Latinos making up just 12 percent of Nevada voters. Last month, both parties saw signs of a disaffected electorate that threatened to stay home.

The NBC News Exit Poll also showed that those who did turn out stood by her. Despite predictions from her opponent that she'd struggle with Latinos, 62 percent said they voted for Cortez Masto and 33 percent backed Laxalt, according to the NBC News Exit Poll.

Sadly Lombardo is Sissy-Lick’s RINO buddy.
New boss same as the old boss.
I do not expect ANY improvement from Lombardo becoming governor.
In fact I expect him to continue the same socialist leaning anti-RKBA and other rights agenda as Sissy-Lick.
Really hope I am wrong, but doubt it.

For one, two, three, four, five days AFTER the election, the Republican Laxalt has the lead UNTIL the evening of the 5th day and the Rat takes the lead.

Now all of a sudden at this point the counting stops and the Rat is immediately declared the winner, just like that. How convenient.

Consent of the Governed is a lie. One gigantic lie. An illusion to make people think their voices are actually heard.

Dems need to sweep every race just to get to 218.

So what will the GOP do?

Play the game - because politics is a game - or sit aside petulantly and let the Democrats CONTINUE to use whatever system in place to harvest and steal more votes?

Either you play the game or get played by the game. Ideology be damned, if you’re not willing to fight fire with fire you’re going to get owned, and since about mid-2017, the GOP (and Trump, honestly) have been content to say everyone is cheating and all that, meanwhile, the Democrats continued to do so and the GOP has done absolutely NOTHING to counter it.

Play to win.

Dems want it more than the GOP. These results are GOTV and ballot harvesting far more than outright cheating. Until that changes the GOP will continue losing most of these close races.

They stole it. How do we know no extra ballots were cased? Can every ballot be matched to the number on the voter roles?
Election day is just that—one day. We never had this problem before covid. It will only get worse, guaranteeing the left will steal every election if nothing changes. Look at California.....

Nevada just voted in ranked choice. That changes everything. Republicans are toast.

They’re batting nearly a thousand so far and the Democrats have so much at stake that I’m sure they’ll stop at nothing to hold the power. I’m watching CO3 (Boebert), she came from behind but it’s so close they’re calling for a run-off . . .

Be happy living in denial until we can no longer deny anything, living in poverty, which what the RATS want so long as they have control.

So why didn’t they steal the governor. A republican managed to win that with the same voters

Because Sisolak closed the casinos during Covid.

But, the real question is, is it believable thousands of people that voted for Kemp in Georgia voted for a radical leftist like Warnock?

The GOP is called The Stupid Party for a reason. I get the feeling McConnell and McCarthy are ok with the results as long as they get retain their positions of power within the GOP.

It’s time for a rebellion among the GOP and oust all current party leadership. I would say send the GOP the way of the Whig Party, but that likely cements the DNC into permanent power forever.

It might already be too late for that already, but there needs to be a hostile takeover of the GOP by true patriots.

Or Kemp and Raffensperger, like in 2020, were in on rigging the race.

Don't even try to deny Georgia was rigged in 2020 given the lie about the waterline break and the Ruby Freeman video.

I saw that. I thought it was something unexpected that they would tell me. Like the death of a cadaver.

Trump is running in '24. Desantis will get crushed if he tries to go against Trump.

You will be voting for Trump in Nov. ‘24.

Get used to the idea.

Where else are you going to go?

The cheating in Maricopa County is blatant in your face

The 21% machine malfunctions? It’s now known to have been over 30%.

The Bin #3 ballots that couldn’t be processed? Election clerks say they were not counted, they were dumped and mixed into bags of ballots that were already processed and counted. The Bin #3 ballots were 80+% Kari Lake ballots and now they are mixed in with counted ballots with no way to tell which ballots were counted and which were not.

As posted before, certain Maricopa government types will be looking at jail time if Kari gets elected, so they’re pulling out all the stops to steal it from her.

There is hope. Kari is lawyered up and can sue to prevent Maricopa from certifying and move to run a new County election with court appointed monitors. Unfortunately, reporters on the ground report the Maricopa Sheriff is dirty, so court monitors will be needed.

The Maricopa Steal is eerily similar to the McMinnville Steal in TN that took place in 1946. In that history, armed WWII combat vets took over the County Elections Building from a crooked governor and overcame a dirty Sheriff. They were able to count the votes before the State National Guard showed up.

The incident was memorialized as “The Battle of Athens” and was made into a movie. Here it is linked, it’s worth watching:
