If you don't like the way the party is being operated in your state, get involved and make a difference. Complaining won't change anything.
Only one remaining to call is CO 03. Hopefully Boebert will make it 222

Duncan is worthless as proven by his grandstanding but please leave Kemp out of that. He and his team are doing everything possible to help Herschel, from mailing lists and personal mailings to using his get-out-the-vote effort and fundraising. The problem here in Georgia is that Warnock’s commercials have been nonstop and very effective in bashing Herschel and turning too many Indepedent and Right-leaning Georgia women off, while Walker’s ads with Warnock’s ex and the abuse she suffered are being given a pass since Warnock is a “reverend.” Many women in this group may not vote for Warnock but will likely stay home and not vote despite all the efforts from Walker, Kemp, and the parts of the GOP that are supporting Walker. Warnock and turncoats like Duncan will probably win as a result.

A 3-1 money advantage will do that. The FTX scandal and other Dem money laundering operations loom large here.

Maybe so, now that - - people are becoming more aware and critical of RINO double dealing, - the candidate is a black man, - and a celebrity whose election to the US Senate will not (arguably) alter the fundamental balance of power between the parties in DC, and - he's gotten rolled over often enough by GA Dems to be perceived as weak.
That wasn't the case back when he and the GA Secretary of State had their knives out for Trump in the 2020 Presidential election AND he failed to get his two pets into the US Senate in special elections.
The whole thing just stank of an under-the-table deal where Kemp screwed his own side and got screwed by the Dems in return and...still wants to be a powerful Republican.

I am asking this question not to be a contrarian or to push back on your thesis. It's just a genuine desire to be educated with an open mind. SPECIFICALLY what is it that Kemp did that you find objectionable? What votes did he allow to be counted that should not have been counted? What votes didn't he count that should have been? What did he do or not do?
Lauren Boebert officially wins race against Adam Frisch, recount confirms
By CONRAD SWANSON | cswanson@denverpost.com | The Denver Post PUBLISHED: December 12, 2022 at 5:51 p.m. | UPDATED: December 12, 2022 at 6:04 p.m.
Now weeks after the November midterm elections and Colorado’s Secretary of State announced that U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert did indeed win her race against Adam Frisch, if only by a few hundred votes.
Election officials across the state’s massive 3rd Congressional District tallied votes for days after the Nov. 8 election. Frisch, a Democrat and former Aspen City Council member, took the lead early on but gradually lost ground to Boebert. In the end, initial vote tallies showed Boebert, of Silt, just 554 votes ahead of Frisch.
The congresswoman declared victory at that point and Frisch conceded, but both acknowledged the results weren’t finished yet. Boebert won with such a slim margin that the state’s election laws required an automatic recount, something Secretary of State Jena Griswold announced officially at the end of last month.
The process lasted nearly two weeks and Griswold’s office announced Monday evening that the recount did not change the election result. Boebert has won a second – and likely tumultuous – term in Congress.
In the end the recount only changed four votes. Boebert lost three and Frisch gained one. The congresswoman won with 50.06% of the votes to Frisch’s 49.89%.
The Secretary of State’s Office will reimburse county election offices for the cost of the recount.

Anybody following this? My dentist sent this link and it is interesting. This is part 4 so may be a bit hard to follow but this is a different tactic - not protesting the results but protesting congress for failure to uphold the constitution. Fast tracked to Supreme Court and scheduled to be heard Jan 6th 2023.

Despite intense pressure and efforts from the Hobbs people to stop it, Kari Lake’s election challenge lawsuit is moving forward, and her legal team has won an important decision, the first huge hurdle.
quote:
A judge in the Maricopa County Superior Court has granted Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake’s request to inspect ballots as she prepares to take her case challenging the results of the gubernatorial election to trial.
The ruling, issued on Thursday by Judge Peter Thompson, would allow for inspecting random ballots throughout the county before the trial date.

An Arizona judge has ruled against Republican Kari Lake's challenge to the result in the November gubernatorial race where Democrat Katie Hobbs was declared the winner by roughly half a percentage point.
In a decision Saturday, Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson, who was appointed by then-Republican Gov. Jan Brewer, found that the court did not find clear and convincing evidence of the widespread misconduct that Lake had alleged had affected the result of the 2022 general election.
The judge rejected Lake's claim that problems with ballot printers at some polling places on Election Day were the result of intentional misconduct.
The judge said Lake’s witnesses didn’t have any personal knowledge of intentional misconduct.
"The court cannot accept speculation or conjecture in place of clear and convincing evidence," Thompson said.
In the ruling, the judge acknowledged the "anger and frustration" of voters who were inconvenienced in the election but noted that setting aside the results of an election "has never been done in the history of the United States."
Lawyers for Lake focused on problems with ballot printers at several polling places in Maricopa County, home to more than 60% of Arizona’s voters. The defective printers produced ballots that were too light to be read by the on-site tabulators at polling places. Lines backed up in some areas amid the confusion.
Lake’s attorneys also claimed the chain of custody for ballots was broken at an off-site facility, where a contractor scans mail ballots to prepare them for processing. They claim workers at the facility put their own mail ballots into the pile, rather than sending their ballots through normal channels, and also that paperwork documenting the transfer of ballots was missing. The county disputes the claim.
In a tweet following the ruling, Lake said she will file an appeal.
"My Election Case provided the world with evidence that proves our elections are run outside of the law," Lake tweeted. "This Judge did not rule in our favor. However, for the sake of restoring faith and honesty in our elections, I will appeal his ruling."

Yeah, and that's always going to be the problem, isn't it? Proving intent. There is clear evidence of hundreds of thousands of ballots that are invalid, and that hundreds of thousands of Arizonian voters were shamefully suppressed on election day, but proving that it was all intentional...¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

There's tremendous pressure against anyone trying to upset the apple cart and officially allow people to question the election process.

This week, leftists and RINOs admitted, under oath, that they changed the print settings, on election morning, so Republican votes would not be tabulated, on the one day most Republicans vote -- and the Maricopa County judge said “…it wasn’t intentional.”
A Republican governor candidate who easily won by multiple points was denied her rightful election. Several million Arizona voters were disenfranchised.
Arizona judge orders Republican Kari Lake to pay $33K in fees to Democratic Gov.-elect Katie Hobbs
Lake is now asking Arizona Supreme Court to review her contested claims that 2022 midterm election was tainted by intentional misconduct
An Arizona judge has ordered Republican Kari Lake to pay $33,000 in legal fees to Democratic Gov.-elect Katie Hobbs after dismissing Lake's bid to overturn the results of the 2022 gubernatorial election.
Lake filed a notice of appeal Tuesday after Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson ordered her to compensate expert witnesses that defended election officials against Lake's claims. Hobbs won the election by about 17,000 votes and had sought additional sanctions against her defeated Republican opponent, but the judge rejected her request.
"There is no doubt that each side believes firmly in its position with great conviction," Thompson wrote. "The fact that plaintiff [Lake] failed to meet the burden of clear and convincing evidence ... does not equate to a finding that her claims were, or were not, groundless and presented in bad faith."
The court had heard arguments from Lake that problems with ballot printers at some polling places on Election Day were the result of intentional misconduct. She also produced expert testimony that purported to show how frustrations with tabulator malfunctions depressed Republican voter turnout, affecting the outcome of the election.
Thompson rejected these arguments "because of faulty underpinnings in fact, unsupported assumptions and foundation," finding that Lake did not show clear and convincing evidence the election tainted by intentional misconduct.
In last week's ruling, the judge acknowledged the "anger and frustration" of voters who were inconvenienced in the election but noted that setting aside the results of an election "has never been done in the history of the United States."
