It is who counts the votes that matters.

Every poll had Lake well ahead of her opponent..who refused to debate and was generally a poor candidate.
And then there was the brain surgeon vs the guy who needed brain surgery.

And Biden ..who is as dirty as they come..

I contend the polls were accurate. The election fraud machine is here to stay.

Overturning Roe and the claim Republicans want to end Social Security worked to the Dems favor. Other issues and Current conditions didn’t matter as in voters believed it couldn’t get worse. They’re in for a surprise. The WH has declared intention to obstruct Republican efforts. Enjoy the decline.

Re: Lake loss in Court.:

the Judge ruled that Lake’s legal team did not prove intent. Why was that important in a civil matter? I could see intent being applicable in a criminal matter, but if they proved there were serious issues regarding the election, then that should have been sufficient to rule in her favor. Once again it appears we have a judge who chose not to rule in favor of justice.

First off ignore all “generic” polls. Races aren’t “generic” just because one party leads nationally in the “generic” doesn’t mean they’re going to win an actual election.

Next ignore the other polls too. They’re so challenging, especially in this modern age with all our ability to avoid phone calls. Pollsters are up the creak.

If you really want to know ahead of time who is going to win an election find the contribution data. The candidate that’s getting the most individual contributions, not money mind you, the count of PEOPLE giving money, wins most of the time. Because if you’ve got more people willing to “vote” for you with their money you’ve probably go more people willing to vote for you for free.

“Klaxons ... sprawling ... voracious ... famished ... polluted ...”

Those three guys know how to use a thesaurus.

But the way they hype up the language like that makes me think that there’s less to the story than they think.

I thought the polls were wrong because of pure corruption.

This is just Slimes backfilling on The Narrative.

It’s a way to snooth over the steal in places like Arizona.

“See Little People? You were lied to, all those Mean Republicans don’t really have the support they said they did.”

That’s the line here.

USA 2.0 will require in-person voting on paper ballots. Assuming the reset does not destroy civilization to the point where documented history is not totally eliminated.

Pollsters didn’t take into account two important factors: 1). The emergence of legions of hyper-leftist Gen-Z voters and 2) The broad popularity of abortion in this country.

Polling is useless as a tool to gauge public opinion — loss of landlines, bots for online polls, and call screenings on cells have castrated them. Even man-on-the-street polls are useless as to get a decent sample size, you’d need to poll in cities that are over-represented by liberals.

Where polls do work, however, are in the realm of disinformation and vote pattern disruption due to instilling overconfidence — usually among the gullible on the right.

At this point, it can’t be fixed. Anyone putting stock in polls these days are in danger of ideological bankruptcy. Stop following and cheering polls…

Vote.

Why does ANYONE read the NY Times anymore? It is pure Democrat/Leftist propaganda.

The election was stolen by early voting, ballot harvesting and lack of voter ID. It is only going to get worse with clowns like AG Garland as our top law enforcement dog.

There should have been a red tsunami.

The election was stolen.
It’s those Italian satellites.
And no one can tell me differently.
Q talked about it.
