“Stolen elections have consequences.”
Wasted elections have consequences. Kansas wasn’t stolen, Kobach was a weak nominee in a tough year with a lot of Trump backlash. We are on track to waste several more big elections this year, and there will be consequences.
Laura Kelly got 81,000 more "votes" in an off-year than Hillary got in a presidential election year in Kansas.
The Brandon Media works with races targeted by the DNC to create "controversies" which "explain" the extra "turnout".
I have a tool which shows me these things.
You can create this tool, too.
You made me look at my tool numbers.
Do you realize that Kris Kobach's numbers in 98 of the 105 Kansas counties in 2018 were between 59% and 71% of Trump's 2016 numbers.
That's not normal.
counties % 1 48% 1 53% 1 56% 2 59% 7 60% 13 61% 7 62% 13 63% 10 64% 11 65% 8 66% 11 67% 4 68% 5 69% 5 70% 2 71% 1 72% 1 73% 1 75% 1 76%
And now the DemonicRats are linking Republican candidate Derrick Schmidt as a “Brownback protege”.
But you act like people just come out of the woodwork who a) are popular, b) competent, and c) with no skeletons. There are reasons why people like Kobach, Byrnovich in AZ, Oz and Barnette in PA, run. It’s because others either can’t or won’t.
Instead of bashing those who do, we ought to spend more time on finding the right candidates then convincing all others who would dilute the vote to exit. We’re doing pretty good in AZ governor race with Lake, but the US Senate race has Byrnovich and two outsiders (Masters and Lamon). Apparently Lamon is nearly 100% self funded from his business-—good in some ways, bad in others. I like to see someone funded by the people. But the danger is they could split the vote.
