If Trump does what we think he will do, the Senate will flip so long as elections are free and fair.Not a good trend in California. I understand, Democrats under performed in New York House Districts.
Guess this thread proves there has been a red shift. Democrats will have to address this. The 2026 election will be about retaking the House rather then the Senate. Not sure how Democrats can refresh the Party's image when dealing with gerrymandered district factors.
LOL, well afraid you are correct that Trump will do what we think he will do. Guess I didn't factor that one.If Trump does what we think he will do, the Senate will flip so long as elections are free and fair.
If there's 10% unemployment and 9% inflation and shelves are bare, I have my doubts that Georgia will flip. Wisconsin will. NC will. And other states that seem out of reach will be in play in that scenario.LOL, well afraid you are correct that Trump will do what we think he will do. Guess I didn't factor that one.
Just last time I looked, looked like slim pickings on potential Senate pickups. And pretty sure Georgia will flip back to the GOP.
I don't know - judging from the California chart there was less of a red shift than Democrats just not showing up. And that seems to have been the story of the election. It's not that Trump got more votes - his total increased from 74 million to 77 million - it's that Kamala lost over 6 million votes from Biden's 2020 total. The real issue, imo, wasn't so much a red shift as Democrats just not turning out. That's what Democrats need to work on - how to fire up their base and get them out to vote. Of course Trump 2.0 may take care of that problem if they screw up enough, which seems likely given the (mostly) clown show he's appointing to his cabinet and as agency heads.Not a good trend in California.

Democrats don't need to get people to turn out in New York, New Jersey and California, which accounts for the bulk of the 6 million delta between Kamala and Joe. They need people to turn out in MiWisPaAzGaNevNCI don't know - judging from the California chart there was less of a red shift than Democrats just not showing up.

The first step for Democrats is admitting they have a problem.Not a good trend in California. I understand, Democrats under performed in New York House Districts.

NY and CA Dems need to stop playing bygone games.Dave Wasserman said:
Fact: in 2024, the House majority was decided by just 7,309 votes across three districts (#IA01, #CO08 and #PA07) out of 148 million votes cast nationwide.
For comparison: in 2022, the House majority was decided by 6,675 votes across five narrowly GOP-won districts (#CA13, #CO03, #IA03, #MI10 and #NY17), and in 2020 it was decided by 31,751 votes across five narrowly Dem-won districts (#IL14, #IA03, #NJ07, #TX15 and #VA07).
Unless you live in PA where laws were ignored and policy made up at the whim of the board chair.Whew, elections are now secure. All good folks, no thousands of mules to be seen, back to work!
How does counting valid votes undermine election security?Unless you live in PA where laws were ignored and policy made up at the whim of the board chair.
"Democratic board chair Neil Makhija voted to accept the ballots so that voters would not be disenfranchised. But other members of the board, including one Democrat and a Republican, voted to reject the ballots on the advice of county attorneys who determined the law clearly states they should not be counted.
"We’re talking about constitutional rights and I cannot take an action to throw out someone’s ballot that is validly cast, otherwise, over an issue that we know ... is immaterial," Makhija said during Thursday's meeting. The board ultimately voted to count a total of 501 contested ballots.
Similar disputes over hundreds of votes have played out in Bucks, Chester and Delaware Counties.
Were the votes valid? Valid meaning meeting the standards per the laws of PA elections?How does counting valid votes undermine election security?
