Prediction: Schiff wins No matter how many more votes the opposition gets than Schiff. The votes that count are the ones that eventually get Schiff over the top, regardless of how many weeks or months it take for him to get those ‘late votes’ in. Besides, it’s California and democrats are not going to let a senate seat get away from them. And, Schiff is their kind of guy, a radical anti-Trumper and a radical anti-republican.

Garvey and Schitt each got around 32% of the primary vote. It's the November election which counts, and even if Garvey won on Election Day, the Rats will find more votes after the polls close to put the Rat over the top. People need to live in the real world.

The Democrats’ (rabid-leftists’) preferred candidate is Shifty, so as long as he was easily projected to be one of the top two candidates, they didn’t have any reason to game the system yet. In November, they will use the DMV to provide any extra votes they will need to put Shifty over the top, probably by 8 to 10 points minimum. In reality, Garvey would probably win a fair election, but the California voter fraud system has been in place since the early 2000’s and has been the blueprint for many other blue states’ DMV or equivalent motor vehicle registration department.

Why do I know that a Republican, particularly a MAGA candidate, would win in California in a fair election? Simple. There was a special election in May of 2020 that was held to replace Katie Hill, the “throuple” chick who had to resign in disgrace. She had originally won by about 8 to 10 points in a district that was “purple.” Well, the result was that even though mail-in ballots were used, the ability for them to use the voter rolls to augment the Dem ballots were throttled. The mayor even set up a single polling station amidst the highest concentration of Democrat voters, but still lost...by TEN POINTS! That was a nearly-20% swing in a district. Although Hill’s scandal may have hurt the Dem turnout, that big of a swing in the same voting demographic should not have been related to that alone. The ONLY plausible election is that the ballot rigging process had been subverted, and the TRUE vote counts came out.

This leads me to believe that if the entire election were handled in the same way as the special election, Garvey would have a chance at the victory in the general. And if mail-in ballots were restricted to its original intent, that is military and completely-disabled people (or people out of town under STRICT circumstances), Garvey would win by 5 to 10 points...as in at least half to 2/3’s the congressional districts that currently go to dems. And the state offices would mostly go to the GOP as well.

All true but Garbey seem to have won the full-in-the-term vote so he should be our senator until Jan 3. Marvelous

Right now, CA is just practicing slow rolling the vote count so it will be perfected when it is needed in Nov.

They need to do that in Michigan and Pennsylvania but it's completely unnecessary in California. The Democrat always win no matter what. No need for fraud.

That seems to be the ratio now.

I hint democrats win but not all at the exact same ratio, but they do now.

The humble demur response by Garveys spokesman is refreshing. Believe the soft caring rhetoric is what may break thru the divise hateful rhetoric of the radical left including Schiff and Biden et al.

0 chance. The rats control the entire voting process in Ca. There is no way they will let this Senate seat flip. Two weeks and they are still “counting” votes, what an obviously corrupted mess.

Ridiculous that counting takes so long.


This should be the headline, not that Garvey is ahead. Now if Garvey had more votes than all the dems combined, that might make a story. But the fact that the state of California cannot have an accurate count of votes nearly two weeks after an election should be a scandal.

Schiff was urging people to vote for Garvey since it poses less of a threat to run against him than another democrat in Kalifornia.

The November votes have been “case, counted and certified,” all for the pal of Ed Buck.

Elections in CA are like scoring in figure skating: No surprised or Cinderella stories.

Schiff is despised for hostility to Trump. The Republicans want to hype Garvey but the reality is not as rosy as this propaganda piece plays out.

This fall Garvey might get 41 or 42 percent of the vote but Schiff has all the advantages in November there can be no doubt.

Would like to know the percentage of the votes. If Garvey is close to 40% of the votes....might be a possibility... A lot of the Porter and Lee voters might stay home or not cast ballots..Schiff is a Stiff, shifty,greasy personality.

Actually, I think much of CA democrat victories over the decades has been due to a lot of fraud, not all, but many.

Sounds like a winning strategy.

Garvey has no money and has zero chance of winning. The only reason Garvey made the runoff is because Schiff spent 35 million running ads supporting Garvey. This is because it’s much easier for Schiff to beat Garvey than a fellow democrat in November.

The article is like reading satire.

Agreed. People don’t want a partisan hack as much as they did before. Lots of independents and Never Shifters might be inclined toward a calm, relaxed demeanered Garvey.
Plus Calif is in the trash heap with dumbocrats in control.

I’m not so sure. I give Garvey a solid 20% chance of pulling this off. The D/R/Ind breakdown is about 48/24/28. We have a solid core of leftists in this state, but a lot of that 48% vote D out of habit and because democrat governance is simply the sea they always swim in. Californians like to vote for celebrities like Reagan for Governor, Sonny Bono, Schwarzenegger and numerous others. Given his background, I think Garvey has a very good chance to do very well in the Southern counties. Plus he’s an attractive and personable person and Schiff comes across as what he is.

The big problem, last I heard, was that Schiff has $33m in the bank, Garvey less than one. Bottom line, I am far from chilling the champagne but I can’t think of any other republican in the state who would have a better chance
