One of the good things that I hope will arise out of this election is that all the young people who participated this time will take away an understanding that when they vote, they really can make a difference. Once you get that, you keep doing it. And that can be nothing but good for democracy going forward.
Waves hand in the air. I was one of those votes. I voted at a drop box and while my vote was accepted quite a while back, the webpage just said it had been counted. My BFF and her daughters might have been in that drop as well because they voted after my BFF got off work at 5.
All is not yet lost. I think I’m going to puke.
Now up to a 13K lead.
If that holds Lake is going to lose her shit.
If Boebert loses, I’m going to predict she will be crying FRAUD for the next decade at least.
Looks like 74 votes were stolen from Boebert. The proof? She’s losing by 73 votes.
She’s winning now by 36.
And that likely will hold.
Bummer
So it looks like 49D / 49R in the Senate so far with the last 3 questions being
That 49th Republican, is it a Trumper or Moderate?
Nevada
Georgia
Bad info! We’ll have to see more
Why do you say that? There was a final ballot dump from Pueblo, which leans Boebert. The remaining ballots are in counties favorable to Frisch.
I think that’s a good enough spread to avoid the legally mandated recount, but it sure won’t stop the Lake recount demands.
In Arizona can she get a recount if she pays for it?
Why would she pay for it if she can force the taxpayers to do it like the last one? Remember, she is Trump’s Minime.
If the automatic recount is not triggered then I can’t see how she can force taxpayers to pay for it.
The automatic recount was not triggered when the ninjas were here last…
Yeah…but that was done well after the election and would not have changed anything no matter what they turned up.
It was not a government run re-count.
According to Ballotpedia, Arizona does not allow requested recounts. As mentioned, a recount is mandated if the margin is 0.5% or less.
Trust me, I know this. But are you quite sure it wouldn’t have changed the results? Lake, Masters and many others agree that the 2020 election results were invalid and Trump is still crying that he the results should be tossed out. I live in about the reddest part of AZ, the stuff I hear would curl your hair.
This bunch doesn’t really care much about the rule of law, all they care about is getting the results they want. Hence my above incorrect prediction that Prescott will burn. It won’t be Prescott, it will be Phoenix and the burning will probably start at the capital building.
I think once the election is certified and the person has taken office that’s the end of it. Even if they find out later they did not win it is too late. If that happened the person could, in theory, be impeached and removed from office.
Of course, there is a political angle here that helps some of the base believe the election was stolen which I think was the whole point in the first place. If they proved it was a sham that’s just a bonus.
