It’s a Vote By Mail election and Garcia will win by a large margin.

With mail in ballots Smith will get more votes than there are people in that district. And if need be they’ll be pouring in for weeks after they count up Garcia’s ballots.

Newbie trying to discourage voting?

Polls have showed him with a lead.

In fact, dems have said... we might lose the seat now, but we’ll get it back in November.

The latest trouble for Democrats occurred last week when a leaked video of a Smith virtual town hall showed her mocking her opponent’s focus on his military résumé. It was a misstep in a district that includes Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works in Palmdale that designed the U-2 spy plane and the F-35; other major defense contractors; and military bases. Smith apologized. “Without question I have the deepest respect for Mike Garcia’s service to our country and I’m sorry for comments that I made that might suggest otherwise,” she said in a statement. But the National Republican Congressional Committee called it “disgusting,” and Trump weighed in, writing on Twitter: “Vote @MikeGarcia2020 by May 12th! His opponent @ChristyforCA25 . . . Now she’s mocking our Great Vets! We need Navy Fighter Pilot Mike Garcia in #CA25!”
