In PA voting started WAAAAAY before that debate, and Fetterman was originally ahead by a lot there before the debate.

That is so obvious only a really slow person could miss it.

The polls evidently did not take vote cheating into account.

Two in a row, uncontested. There will never be another real election in this country again.

Possibly, but there were other factors involved.

Pollsters: Polls were predicting a "red wave". Many pundits were also speculating about overwhelming Republican victories, especially in the House. That didn't really happen. Were they trying to lull us into complacency? Or did we just misinterpret the enthusiastic rallies for potential (and big) victories?

Counters: Cheating in vote-counting is a staple of the Left. We were watching them more closely this time around. How did they manage to pull it off?

Voters: Maybe voters are trying to tell us something. Maybe they really do prefer woke culture, inflation, America-hating elitists; as long as they can keep their vices: abortion, crime, racism, chaos.

Every poll taking organization has it completely wrong.

Instead of questioning the voters there needs to be understanding of the fraud machines FOR BOTH POLITICAL SIDES.

The best funded, most manned and creative fraud machine wins the elections.

Not unless something serious and drastic happens. And soon.

Anyone who doesn’t ipunderstand what polls really are by now is irreversibly stupid and never will.

“1. They don’t call cellphones. Many people are on cells only these days.”

They have been calling cellphones since 2008. They proportion their calls bazed upon the oercentage of cellphone onky households.

Fetterman won because people believed he would “help them out” more tgan Oz would.

Voter fraud

Another factor. People leaving blue states and all of them have moved to Florida.

Lee Zedlin would have won on Tuesday if conservative New Yorkers had stayed in the state.

And one of the problems with that is that the Dem electorate is far more geographically dense than the more suburban and rural Republican electorate. That makes the cost and number of people involved vastly different.

Yes, one person in an urban area can get 1000 voters to fill out their mail-in-ballots. That is not possible in our area.

Where they overwhelm us is that even if we turn out 100%, they have been registering everyone and make everyone vote. That means a large portion of their votes come from people who are uninformed and would not vote.
