The only thing the voters did was to reelect some of the instigators. Mrs. Lindsey Graham comes to mind.

People are calling for the GOP to get with the program, but it’s a system that fundamentally favors urban party machines because it’s easier to ballot harvest from an apartment block than it is driving country roads.

Democrats changed the way we do elections in 2020, giving themselves weeks/months to canvas ghettos, nursing homes, etc squeezing ballots out of extreme low-propensity voters who don’t even know who’s on the ballot. It’s a fundamentally different political decision-making system.

Florida is a *supposedly* purple state where none of this is allowed, and we just saw what happened there. GOP state parties should replicate Florida’s rules everywhere they have power, and do what they can make up the difference in states where they don’t.

Biden didn’t even campaign and got 12m more votes and much better turnout than Obama in 2008. He got 16m more votes than Hillary in ‘16, even though Trump increased his vote total by 12m. The idea that this is due to anything but scamming mail-in/harvesting rules is absurd.

Democrats can’t ever allow improvements to election security, because the huge difference in their vote count pre- and post-reforms would beg too many questions. Florida has always been a 51-49 state, but went R+20 once basic election securities measures were put in place.

Red packing isn’t the answer. Boomers and others that cut and run to red states creates no incentive for a fix. Same issue with immigration. If there is a release valve for people to flee mexico, etc to America, those countries will never change.

There were 6 million more GOP voters than Democrat voters but the GOP under performed? Bull, 2022 was stolen just like 2020 was and 2024 will be.

I don’t see a reason why I would ever vote again.

I disagree, it might take decades and I’ll be long gone, 30-50 million people moving to red states will shift the balance of power because of added congressional seats

“Hence any state that allows for early voting favors Democrats.”

Not true.

In FL, there were nearly 3 million mail-in ballots plus millions of in-person early voting, and FL went hard for Republican.

In GA, there were about 2.5 million that voted early in-person and about 250,000 mail-in/absentee ballots. In GA every single statewide office went to Republicans except for Walker, who is in a run-off.

I’m sure if you looked at other red states, you’d find a lot of early in-person voting and mail-ins. A lot depends on having controls in place to avoid fraud.

In GA for example, it’s now a lot harder to get absentee ballots, you have to fill out requests by hand vs mass computer requests which Dems used before. There are very limited numbers of drop-box locations, no street corner boxes, looks like all are inside buildings that have regular operating hours (no 2AM box stuffing).

Anyway, early voting can be done right, just need state legislatures to make an effort to pass the right laws.

“which could take weeks to determine...”

Vote harvesters haven’t finished up yet making the rounds of nursing homes, homeless camps and Section 8 housing projects.

These things take time!

Vote harvesting is perfectly legal in California.

Already happening:

L.A.-area loses U.S. House seat in new California congressional ...

"California loses one of 53 House seats after the 2020 Census found the Golden State's population growth is slowing. That's a first."

I read another source that said it should have been at least two house seats but the numbers were cooked to prevent that from happening.

I can see Newsom, the idiot governor, declaring a crises over lost population and importing more destitute 3rd worlders to "save the economy" (in reality to save house seats).

Florida got two additional seats, it should have been 4 if some oversight of the census bureau had been done.

This mass migration will take time and 20-30 years assuming the country still exists

SOP in California. “Could be decided”? After two years of heads in the sand, doing nothing, come up for air and Surprise, Surprise, Surprise. Anyone who did not KNOW this would happen refuses to accept reality.

Can you not really “go Galt”? I think there are going to be some disastrous changes to taxes, soon.
