President Ebola got 51.01% of the popular vote and 61.7% of the electoral college in 2012. Any way you slice it, the Republicans got more of a mandate from the total vote percentages (about 53%) versus Democrats, and a 57% majority in the House and 52% (for now until the runoff in LA and one other state I think) in the Senate. These liberals just throw out misleading lies and hope they stick.
They rely upon legalisms.
The midterms are not a national election. They are 52 separate elections for the purpose of choosing representatives to Congress. General elections are also held separately, but they are held for a national leadership, as well as for that year’s election of the Congress.
It is a distinction without a difference.
This midterm was nationalized and the issue was the President,his administration and his Party. Those all lost in the midterm by a wider majority than they *won* in the General of 2012.
The article is specious. Losers grasp at straws. Really, they lost despite overt and reported attempts at fraud. Some of the targeted elections may even have had wider majorities. Certainly, the 2012 General Election was rife with fraud unreported at the time. so their “national majority” is likely narrower or did not ever exist.
