Yea AZ 6 lead is cut in half.

---

Less than half the votes are in from Cochise County which is generally Red. Pima is a big county, 84% in, leans Blue

---

AZ 6 is back up to 2100 leads R.

Some districts in California still at 60-65% counted after 1 week!

Texas and Florida counted nearly 10M (99%) of ballots each in a matter of hours.

Today is Monday, they need to get their ass in gear and count the vote.

At this point it is incompetence or simply bad election laws and procedures.
Or corruption.

Those with Red leads, the amount of lead and percent tallied.

AK...........10,277...71%
CA 41........7,880...76%
CA 45........6,128...80%
CA 13........3,261...57%
AZ 6..........2,097....81%

CO 8 called by RCP for 217 now.

Not sure why they aren't calling the AZ Senate race.

Yuma and Cochise Co. don't have enough votes to pull Lake into the lead.

Based on the margins of victory of the GOP house races in DFW, the Texas State House was too deferential to democrats during the last redistricting.

Democrats should be held to one or two seats in DFW.

Tarrant county is red and House 33 is ripe for the taking.

I mean how can anyone (on either side) have confidence in a electoral system in a 1st world nation that takes a week to count the vote.

Heck more than a week (they are not even done yet)

its interesting how many voted for Trump and against Lake

More than enough for her to win.. but she isnt going to

---

There is a likeability factor that keeps Lake from getting over the hump.

Arizona had a couple of measures on their ballot that would probably drive up democrat vote. One was abortion. Once at the ballot box, it looks like those dems couldn't pull the lever for Harris and instead went to Trump.

Some people are suggesting that Trump voters cast a ballot for Gallego. It looks to me that a lot of blue voters cast their vote for Trump.

I was asking a friend about this race and he is very knowledgeable when it comes to politics. He told me that Gallego is a marine veteran, is more of a moderate dem and also is hispanic so those things may be helping him out against Lake.

fair enough

Arizona 6 has opened up a nice lead, nearly 5,000 votes ahead. Updated 1 min ago with 86% of the vote in

We need as many as possible to idiot proof the house

---

Not to mention some are going to get plucked for cabinet/appointment positions causing a special election. It would be shameful come summer or next fall if the Republicans lose control of the house. Dems spent a billion on Harris. You know they would do anything to buy the House if given the chance.

---

Those plucked for Cabinet positions needs to come from solid Red districts, none of those 51-49 districts.

They need to come from districts at least Red plus 10%

---

I think Stefanik come from a red +25 district

---

Remind me of the house rules on replacing her.

RCP also shows 219. Which means it's set.

Still

AK will go R
CA 13
CA 45 still look good.

CA 21 outside chance.

222 would be good. That would leave Dems with 213.

220 is a certainty, but really would like to take CA 13 and 45.

45 looks pretty good, 13 has a lot of counting left. 57% counted when they have
had an entire week is pathetic.

CA needs to have a complete election Law overhall, and the virtue signaling buffoon they have for Governor
needs to go.

---

To even have a chance to clean this counting votes for days or even weeks on end crap, both AZ and CA are going to have to eventually elect strong Republican governors (I know fat chance as far as CA is concerned) who are determined to end this kind of BS. Desantis, who cleaned up Broward County in FL, is the model for how this can go from needlessly taking weeks to knowing the results in less than an hour after the polls close - which is how it should be.

---

The way dems tend to overplay their hand, it may be easier than some think. Just like the lies about Biden's mental capacity set the dems up for failure, the dems will set themselves up for failure in California. It may take a couple more election cycles but, it will happen.

Ok, I see Alaska has "ranked choice" voting, which is crap.

But, I can't see the AK Independent candidate who has almost 10K votes
having their second choice being a democrat.


He is pretty radical, the government is bad, the government is stealing from
us kinda guy.

That said they allowed 2 Dems on the ballot which is also crap, since that second
choice will be democrat.

AK has a messed up voting system in their own right. Probably why they are at 71%
counted after a full week.

If I voted in a "ranked choice" election I would not have a second choice. Not going to
have my vote go to someone I don't like.

Ranked choice voting sounds appealing on the surface but it can create a myriad of problems. As you hinted, someone you don't even like and ever want to hold the office could win and due to your vote.

Anybody know why the vote is not still being counted in Alaska.
