Townhall ^ | 12/01/2020 | Reagan McCarthy

California Democrat Christy Smith conceded to GOP Congressman Mike Garcia for the second-time on Monday night, after the contentious congressional race’s result became clear. Smith and Garcia previously competed in a special election last spring, to fill the seat vacated by disgraced former Congresswoman Katie Hill, who resigned in light of a sex scandal.

An official call from the Associated Press has not yet been made in California’s 25th congressional district, but Smith told supporters that her path to victory is no longer viable.

It seems the ballot boxes were only stuffed for Biden. The rest of the tickets could go suck.

This is what is so perplexing, how can Trump have coat tails but no coat?

I believe we gained eleven seats—with that NY seat “led” by a cheating Democrat by a handful of votes—so the net gain will be either eleven or twelve.

It was actually a retention, not a seat flip. Mike Garcia flipped the seat in 2018. But hey, I’ll take it.

Nice win.

Mike is the real deal.

I wonder if that strategy was a deliberate slight to Pelosi. Kind if like her finding a severed horse's head in her bed.

Probably harder to bury the voter fraud at the Congressional level than it is at the state level.

Yep, the judge is very unhappy with that turn of events, he'll probably demand another count. That will be fine, most of the bad ballots are the mail in ones, which were mostly for the Dem and easier to find errors to throw them out.

RE: I told you all months ago we could do this in Southern California....

Yes because this happens to be a Presidential election and California is BLUE by default. The Democrat powers that be did not find it necessary to manipulate congressional votes in California, choosing to focus their voter fraud on battleground states instead.

But Wait till 2022 ...

Sydney said that some down ballot races were manipulated as well.
