False, and without evidence. Fraud happens, of course, and always has; at the same predictably insignificant 0.00025% rate or whatever.

This thinking is one of the reasons many R candidates are going back to day jobs rather than DC.

Some exit poll data suggests that 70% of single women voted for Democrats...which is about 20% higher than in 2020. Single women are the problem and I'm sure the abortion issue didn't help us there, but I'm also sure it's not all abortion. They tanked us in 2020 as well. Seems single women are pretty much leftist in today's society.

First, let me point out that the GOP will most likely take the House. No matter how any of you guys look at it, it's a win. That means the commie maggots can no longer ram shit down our throat like they did the last 2 years. Think about it. It's a fucking WIN.

Second, the Senate control is far from over. Three are still in play. Laxalt is leading in NV. They are still counting in AZ, despite asshole McConnell not pitching a dime in there to help Masters. And GA is heading for a runoff, despite what this jerk wrote (that Walker lost). And, he claimed that "numerous others" that Trump endorsed lost, without naming even one. Whatever. Wait and see. It's a guarantee that if the GOP wins the Senate, these assholes will come back and say, "Man, Trump did it again". Fuck them.

It is about feeling personally secure, financially and physically, and is nothing new. Rush Limbaugh had a term for it in the 1996 Bill Clinton reelection; the Arousal Gap.

Polls found that women felt Bill Clinton as President would take better care of them than their own husbands!

Leftist propaganda has convinced many Americans that RvW means nasty old men want to control women. Women will feel unsafe voting R when they believe that. Consider how the younger generation focuses on the patriarchy, rape culture, etc.

Today, single women feel a lot more vulnerable than married women who have a husband to help provide security.

This time around it was the Fear Gap. Single women fear mean old white men trying to control their bodies more than they fear the economy or open borders.

Arizona is one of the growing number of states that shifted the entire election process to focus on ballot collection as a model to replace voting.

quote:

A vote cannot be cast by a person who is no longer alive, or no longer lives in the area. However, a ballot can be sent, completed and returned regardless of the status of the initially attributed and/or registered individual.

While ballots and votes originate in two totally different processes, the end result of both “ballots” and “votes,” weighing on the presented election outcome, is identical.

While initially the ballot form of election control was tested in Deep Blue states, through the process of mail-in returns under the guise and justification of “expanding democracy,” a useful tool for those who are vested in the distinction, I think we are now starting to see what happens on a national level when the process is expanded.

The controversial 2020 election showed the result of making ‘ballots’ the strategy for electoral success. Under the justification of COVID-19 mitigation, mail-in ballots took center stage. Ballot harvesting by Democrat operations was one term for the outcome.

Democrat party officials and political activist groups knew how to exploit the opportunities within the new system of ballot distribution and collection, and when you combine that with a massive legal pressure campaign to accept any and all forms of ballots, well, you can see how they are dependent.

Now that ballot collection has been shown to be a much more effective way to maintain political power, Democrats in a general sense are less focused on winning votes and more focused on gathering ballots.

When ‘ballot organization’ becomes more important than ‘vote winning,’ you modify your electoral campaign approaches accordingly. It might sound simplistic, but inside the distinct difference between ballots and votes you will find why refusing debates is a successful strategy.

Abortion is now a states rights issue. So your assertion is the governors were elected in a landslide because abortion didn’t matter for them? But mattered for the national candidates where abortion will no longer be decided?

Really? Does that make sense to you?

There is a common denominator here. It ain’t abortion.

I think many, if not most, women who are passionate about the Dobbs decision probably don't realize or understand that the issue is no longer one that can be controlled by a federal entity (and Congress is Fed). They still believe that Congress could pass a law reinstating the (false) abortion right they'd had for the past 50 years. And they are irrational enough that it is unlikely that instruction of the true facts would take hold. They know what they believe and that's it.
