The Republican Party lost its House majority on July 28, 2017, when Sen. John McCain ended the party’s seven-year quest to repeal ObamaCare. House leadership had done an admirable job herding cats. On the second try, we passed the American Health Care Act in May. Then McCain’s inscrutable vote against the Senate’s “skinny repeal” killed the reform effort. McCain’s last-minute decision prompted a “green wave” of liberal special-interest money, which was used to propagate false claims that the House plan “gutted coverage for people with pre-existing conditions.” That line was the Democrats’ most potent attack in the midterms. It was...

Having taken back the House, Democrats aren't waiting around to get seated. They're getting down to business, and sorry voters, it's not the moderate legislation with Medicare fixes they ran on. Nope, they're out to Get Trump. Mike Allen of Axios quotes an insider who describes a coming " subpoena cannon :" House Democrats plan to probe every aspect of President Trump’s life and work, from family business dealings to the Space Force to his tax returns to possible "leverage" by Russia, top Democrats tell us.What they're saying: One senior Democratic source said the new majority, which takes power in...

Anyone have stats on the seats that have flipped since Tuesday night? Of the ones that have flipped, which were suspicious? According to the New York times website, the Democrats have now gained 32 seats in the House and 10 seats are still being counted. The Republicans have narrow leads ranging from .4 to 1.4%. What are the odds that some/all of these will go to the Democrats?

Several major Florida media outlets are running stories today explaining that the likelihood of the contentious Florida election recount changing the results of Tuesday’s elections are very small. That is good news for Republicans, bad news for Democrats, on a couple of fronts. The state's largest paper, the Tampa Bay Times, reported: "...a recount that reverses an initial margin of more than a few hundred votes would be unprecedented in the recent history of American elections. According to an analysis by the nonpartisan group FairVote, which advocates for electoral reforms that make it easier to vote, out of 4,687 statewide...

**** This is a comment by TheDreadnought found at Gateway Pundit TheDreadnought • 3 minutes ago This is from one of the commenters from Zero Hedge... I'd hyper link it but may break TOC with TGP. The commenter is CAPT DRAKE I worked the polls in Palm Beach County and can tell you how the fraud works: 1. Not at the individual polling location. These are decent people, none willing to take a felony for anybody. 2. Once the ballots are printed, the fraud starts. 3. You must have a huge stack of preprinted ballots to fill out and have...

Fox News called the U.S. House of Representatives for the Democrats on Tuesday night just after 9:30 p.m. EST — with polls still open in California for nearly an hour and a half. https://www.breitbart.com/the-media/2018/11/06/critics-question-fox-news-calling-house-for-democrats-with-california-polls-still-open/

LAUDERHILL, Fla. — In the chaos that has swirled over the vote count in Florida following Tuesday’s midterm elections, one headline made its way ominously around the state: A teacher in Broward County had discovered a box labeled “provisional ballots,” left behind at the polling place at her school. Mishandled ballots? Incomplete vote count? Florida’s Republican Senator, Marco Rubio, fanned public suspicion. “I don’t know what’s in this sealed box found this morning by #BrowardSheriff,” he said on Twitter. “But this dysfunction in #Broward Elections is not acceptable. At a minimum, it undermines public trust in the election & creates...

The Florida Senate election has become a shambles. Once again we have issues counting the votes—and two of the most liberal counties in the state. What’s taking them so long? The counties ravaged by Hurricane Michael are all done. These two counties are not keeping regular updates on the outstanding ballots. Brenda Snipes, elections supervisor for Broward, the largest Democratic county in the state, is like a deer in the headlights concerning how many are actually left to go. With both election boards not being transparent and no way to verify f their vote count dumps, which are in the...

Tuesday’s midterm elections weren’t a slam dunk for either party, not by anyone’s estimation. Democrats managed to avoid another apocalyptic election meltdown and keep their base from flipping out by flipping the House, if barely, and Republicans added slightly to their already slight majority in the Senate. We sent at least three Red State fake moderate Kavanaugh thumbs-downers packing and, even better, the GOP ‘squishy caucus’ ranks have been whittled down to Ben Sasse and his imaginary better angel. There’s still Collins and Murkowski, of course, but now President Trump’s judicial nominees aren’t depending on ‘good feelz’ from either to...

Many people are very seriously questioning the integrity of our voting system, especially in this, the election of 2018. I intend to explain exactly how this fraud is accomplished, and why late-vote acceptance is so dangerous and destructive to our republic: First, one must understand the importance of chain of custody. Used often in the law-enforcement community, this concept means that evidence (or, in our case, ballots) must be handled an a tracked, sealed, and auditable manner. There must be an auditable paper trail that records the sequence of sealing, custody, control, transfer, unsealing, analysis, and disposition of election ballots,...

FULL TITLE: STUNNING! California Republicans Face More Losses as Late Votes for Democrats Continue to Trickle In #StopTheSteal Republican candidates who led their races on election night continue to suffer losses as Democrats across the nation have been able to manufacture tens-of-thousands of new votes since election day. Democrats stole races in Florida, New Mexico and California since election results were announced on Tuesday night. Democrats have mysteriously found thousands of new votes in Georgia on Saturday after losing the governor’s seat on Tuesday. And now several California Republican candidates who led their races by significant margins on election night...

Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said by commenting on the Florida recount of the Senate and gubernatorial races, President Donald Trump was attempting “obstruction” and “suppression of the vote.” [snip] PELOSI: Yes to the second part. Let’s go to the first part first. My experience with the president is any time charges somebody with something he’s just projecting what he might have done himself."

Just days before the eightieth anniversary of Kristallnacht, when Nazis burned synagogues, looted Jewish homes and shops, and rounded up Jewish families for concentration camps, Tucker Carlson’s home was surrounded by Antifa thugs who pounded on his door (cracking it), terrifying his wife, uttered threats against him and his family and painted an anarchist symbol on his driveway while the DC police did nothing to these modern-day brownshirts. This is not the first time they have engaged in violence and threats in my city, and not the first time there have been no legal consequences for their lawless, threatening behavior....

All counties have completely reported everything except overseas and military ballots. https://floridaelectionwatch.gov/CountyReportingStatus There aren't any more ballots in Broward or Palm Beach. As I predicted in another thread, Scott holds a 12.5K lead. No recount ever, anywhere, in history has overturned a lead of that magnitude. The largest change in votes in a recount previously was Gore's attempted theft of Florida in 2000, and even with all the shenanigans and hanging chads, he only managed to turn about 1200 votes. This is 10x that number for Scott and nearly 30x that number for DeSantis.

The Florida Secretary of State has ordered recounts in the U.S. Senate and governor’s races — as infuriated Republicans accuse Democrats of attempting to steal the election. Gov. Rick Scott defeated incumbent Sen. Bill Nelson by more than 12,000 votes. And Rep. Ron DeSantis defeated Andrew Gillum to win the governor’s office. However, Democrats in charge of local election boards keep finding thousands and thousands of uncounted ballots that all favor the Democrats.

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) joined the #StopTheSteal protesters in Broward County on Saturday afternoon outside the Broward County elections headquarters. On Saturday at noon Brenda Snipes finally turned in her county’s election results following several days of ballot manufacturing. Governor Rick Scott went from a 80,000 vote lead on election night to only 12,562 vote lead on Saturday. The Broward and Palm Beach county elections officials had manufactured enough ballots to cut his lead in the Florida senate race by nearly 70,000 votes. ** On Saturday night Broward County Riot Police removed Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) from filming county officials...

It is clear this woman has openly committed voter fraud. Why is she not in jail??

Republican Brian Kemp is pressing Democrat Stacey Abrams to concede Georgia’s tight gubernatorial race as civil rights groups urge her to stay and fight. Kemp’s campaign issued a statement Saturday that said it was mathematically impossible for Abrams to even force a runoff, much less win outright. It called Abrams’ refusals to concede “a disgrace to democracy” that “completely ignore the will of the people.” . . On Saturday, she released a statement that she had met with voters who experienced difficulties casting ballots. She said her campaign had heard stories of voters turned away from the polls, students and...
