Some California House races haven’t been decided yet. Campaigns are making sure every ballot counts

....Through the increasingly common process known as “ballot curing,” campaigns are contacting voters whose ballots were not counted because of a technicality and giving them a chance to correct their mistakes. That could mean asking them to correct their address or add their signature to an envelope they forgot to sign.

The stakes are especially high in California’s battleground districts, where voters could determine which party will control the House of Representatives next year.

Of the 11 congressional races nationwide where the Associated Press has not called a winner as of Wednesday, five are in California. Republicans need only one more win to achieve a majority in Congress — and obtain the elusive trifecta of being in charge of the House, Senate and the presidency.

In several tight races across California, both parties are rallying volunteers to help them reach voters and fix any problems with their ballots. They are fanning out across Orange and Riverside counties where Republicans and Democrats are in a furious battle for key seats in the House....

ballots can be challenged for a variety of reasons. Among them: the ballot is missing from the envelope, multiple ballots were returned in one envelope, or the voter listed the wrong address. The most common reason for rejecting a ballot, according to the California Voter Foundation, is that it was returned too late....

According to state law, election officials must notify voters if there are issues with their ballots by reaching out via calls, texts or emails. Voters then have until Dec. 1 to fix their ballots and make sure they’re counted. As of Tuesday, California had roughly 161,000 ballots remaining to be cured before they are rejected.

Smells like hanging chads to me. SCOTUS needs to put an end to this nonsense.

They’d have been done by now but they have to wait for the ink on the ballots to dry.

Remember Trump saying (at the NY rally) that they had a “surprise” in the House? Maybe after all the races are called the Dem’s end up with a 1-seat majority, and then “surprise”, a Dem switches to Rep with all the races are over and no chance for more cheating. Wild speculation, but that would be an exquisite rug pull.

So the incumbent Republican is up now only 300 votes at 92% in. We are supposed to believe that Democrats are able to flip 2 California house districts after Trump’s landslide?

Possibly 3 more for the Republicans:
-
CA US House General Election 13
74% reporting
John Duarte (incumbent) GOP 79,456 51.2%
Adam Gray DEM 75,693 48.8%
-
CA US House General Election 45
84% reporting
Michelle Steel (incumbent) GOP 151,395 50.1%
Derek Tran DEM 151,046 49.9%
-
The Alaska “at large” vote is a bit trickier...
Ranked Choice Voting will likely kick in

Duarte should win. Steel is on pace to lose. Pretty decent lead has vaporized since the weekend. No idea about Alaska.

Yeah, I get that it will go to RCV. Some here have said Begich shouldn’t have a problem with RCV. I would love to see the analysis that supports that belief.

It’s going to be two weeks. It is such obvious theft. 3 soon to be 4 stolen Senate races and God knows how many House seats. A Trump landslide completely neutered.l it is just disgusting.

I long for the days of hanging chads.

High tech is the only way to steal a landslide.
