For the statisticians out there, how is it possible that an inordinate number California congressional elections won by Republicans on Election Night flipped to the Democrats after absentee, provisional, and other ballots get counted. It seems that it is never the other way around.

Even if you are no fan of the GOP,  you have to wonder why  this trend only favor California Democrats in the 2018 midterms.

California, one of many no-photo-ID states, has purposely lax voting procedures implemented by Dems to insure their stranglehold on state government, but the run of good luck seems like a statistical oddity.

Can’t win for losing

Is a “superior ground game” a euphemism for something else? And why is the Republican Party so timid and ineffectual about challenging these outcomes?

Nearby Arizona somehow narrowly elected to the U.S. Senate a far-left activist over U.S. Air Force hero Martha McSally. While McSally oddly sought donations for a recount, she nonetheless conceded the election and had little say about Maricopa County chicanery.

There are various theories why the GOP standard-bearer lost, but her lukewarm support of President Trump, who campaigned with and for several successful Senate hopefuls, obviously didn’t help.

From the Washington Free Beacon:

‘The Arizona Republican Party announced Thursday it will conduct an independent audit of the Maricopa County Recorder’s Office after legal issues and other complaints arose in the days-long count to decide Arizona’s next senator.

“After Election Day, about 650,000 votes were not yet tallied in counties across Arizona, but the lion’s share of those outstanding ballots resided in Maricopa County, the fourth-largest county in the country.

“The vote count in the race between Martha McSally (R.,) and the eventual winner Kyrsten Sinema (D.,) went on for six more days beyond Election Day, in which time the GOP sued Maricopa County questioning how long the county could ‘cure’ ballots where the signature on the ballot was not a good enough match to the voter’s signature on file.In instances such as this, the recorder’s office may contact the voter to verify the ballot. However, some recorder’s offices stopped this “curing” process when polls closed at 7 p.m. local time on Election Day, while Maricopa County continued to cure ballots beyond that…

‘In addition to the lawsuit, the GOP raised questions over the decision by Maricopa County Recorder Adrian Fontes to open ’emergency voting’ centers, which were available on the Saturday and Monday before Election Day.”

Maybe McSally’s silence is because she received word that the Arizona governor has decided to appoint her to finish out the late Sen. John McCain’s term after Jon Kyl steps down in January.

The so-called independent audit is all well and good but won’t change the 2018 outcome. Doesn’t Congresswoman McSally have a solemn obligation to her voters to raise questions about the Election Day procedures?

GOP apparently prevails in Florida

In Florida, GOP Congressman Ron DeSantis appears to have won the governor’s election. Far-left Democrat Andrew Gillum, the Tallahassee mayor, is still complaining, as is George loser Stacy Abrams defeated by Brian Kemp. Remember when everyone came unglued because Trump suggested that he might not accept the results of the 2016 election if it appeared that fraud was in play?

According to the Naples News, Florida Democrats had a plan.

“A day after Florida’s election left top state races too close to call, a Democratic party leader directed staffers and volunteers to share altered election forms with voters to fix signature problems on absentee ballots after the state’s deadline. The altered forms surfaced in Broward, Santa Rosa, Citrus and Okaloosa counties and were reported to federal prosecutors to review for possible election fraud as Florida counties completed a required recount in three top races…

“One Palm Beach Democratic activist said in an interview the idea was to have voters fix and submit as many absentee ballots as possible with the altered forms in hopes of later including them in vote totals if a judge ruled such ballots were allowed.”

To his credit, and unlike many Milquetoast GOP office holders, Sen. Marco Rubio has been vocal on Twitter about the rampant election law violations if not outright voter fraud in Broward and elsewhere.

No evidence of fraud in #FloridaElection?

Dems got voters to use altered forms to fix & submit as many mail ballots as possible after FL deadline in hopes that a judge would later order state to count them.

Today that’s exactly what a federal judge did. https://t.co/MC4Tlvy9gi read more
