There is one issue that may lie behind the strange midterm outcome: If this is indeed the reason that Republicans barely scraped a win, it is a terrible indictment of the American people

I don’t trust the results of the midterms. I suspect I will not be confident in election outcomes until verified citizens must sign-up during a short registration period immediately before elections and the voting only takes place at the polls on Election Day. It could be a long wait.

The reports and common-sense indications of fraud are everywhere. Mail-in ballots are, once again, the primary suspect but voting machines and corrupt officials seem to be implicated as well. Anecdotally, Kari Lake was up by 10 points in the run-up to the Arizona Governor’s race. She ended up losing by a hair’s breadth. Never mind that the polls almost always oversample Democrats, or that her opponent oversaw the election and refused to recuse herself from that process, or that the machines in Republican districts mysteriously stopped working. I know you can’t trust the polls, but those are some pretty big issues that certainly help feed the narrative of election shenanigans.

Putting aside the question of fraud, what could have driven people to elect even more incoherent and corrupt politicians? Those who will drive inflation higher, push violent crime to new heights, pursue insane conflicts abroad, accelerate the invasion of our southern border, further the erosion of the bill of rights, and drop trillions of taxpayer dollars into the corrupt climate change black hole?

The answer is obvious: Abortion. It was the single issue that dominated the talking points and advertising of every Democrat candidate. It was also a top issue in the exit polls. That this single-issue strategy may have worked speaks volumes about where we are as a nation.

The GOP/UniParty/Deep State are all on the same page against the conservative wing.

They are also anti-God.

What “wow”? They vote. And they are pro abortion. You can disagree with it all you want, but it’s a fact.

“Pro-Aborts like Colorado’s Joe O’dea lost.”

Joe didn’t lose because of that. Every Republican lost in statewide races regardless of their stance on abortion. In my county, which five years ago was solid Republican, the D’s took every seat by a landslide (including law enforcement type seats).

We lost every close state house race and were not even competitive in most Senate Races.

Joe lost because there are not nearly enough Republicans in Colorado now that we have universal mail in voting and ballot harvesting. Ron Hanks (who lost to Joe in the primary) would have been slaughtered too.

Eventually the whole thing will collapse. Frankly, I don’t expect that day to be more than five years off and probably less than two.

Nemesis will prevail, it may take a while but it will happen. If I were a real practicing Muslim, I would be very optimistic today. Remember the Islamacist mantra; ‘If it takes 10K years, 10 billion lives and 1000 quadrillion dollars the Faith (the Deen) will prevail.

Either the election was rigged or it wasn't. Either way America is done for because if it was rigged that makes two in a row. The rigging is ingrained in the system and will never be got rid of. "Free and fair" elections are a thing of the past.

And if it wasn't rigged, that means the majority actually like the chaos the demoncrats have created in the last two years.

Either way you can stick America with a fork, it's done. The only possible alternative futures lie through either revolution or secession or both.

In 1983, Ireland passed a Constitutional Amendment to ban abortions.

35 years later, it was repealed by popular vote in a 66%-34% landslide.

The celebrations in the streets lasted a week.

BTW anyone who doesn’t think abortion primarily serves the masses of perpetual adolescent boys aged 17-74 running this current disaster of a country is stupid

I don’t buy the analysis.

1) Exit polling showed those opposed to abortion were 81% more energized to vote than those favoring (32%.

2) Pro-abort counties went for Wizard of Oz. Pro-life counties went for Fetterman Massacre, the Human Ox.

3) Richard Baris’s pre-election polling showed that abortion advocates already had planned to vote, that ads did nothing.

4) Even among those who say it mattered, the amount that it mattered in fact was pretty small.

I disagree....we have not yet seen the final act in the Arizona election story. Claiming fraud because a candidate lost is a dangerous route to take. There are people who will consider violence against innocent election workers because someone with a platform screams fraud.

I want to see what happens if and/or when a legal challenge is initiated concerning the alleged voting problems that occurred in Arizona.

Yes I can’t believe there are those who are outspoken about their abortion and proud of it. Someone close to me had an abortion when they are young, and still haven’t got over the guilt.

BS. You can’t acknowledge fraud and then draw conclusions about why people voted the way they did. Every place that passed election reforms had republicans winning big. Democrats need fraud to be relevant.

They want more than just aborted babies. They want you to die too. You'll probably freeze in the dark with their policies and I've heard that freezing is not a bad way to go...
