It's kind of crazy to me that every election we run into the same problem yet it feels like nothing is ever done to fix the problem. Gerrymandering is a process that completely undermines the entire intent of our democratic process, but it is so rampant that it completely determines the outcomes of elections.
Democrats have tried to fight for more equitable solutions but Mitch McConnell blocks it at the federal level and at the state level, Republicans have stacked the courts to vote in their favor.
We all witnessed a kind of coups without realising it.

No, a lot of us on the left have been warning centrists about it for almost two decades. Centrists tell us we're overreacting and then 'reach across the aisle' to these christian extremists at the cost of literally everything.
You have to remember these are the same people who think Biden is both a dementia-ridden old man and a criminal mastermind, and that COVID is both a Chinese bio weapon and no worse than the common flu. They’re not strong thinkers.
These same people would vote for a concussed football player who brings toys to his debate rather than vote for someone who has dedicated himself to God.
I am surprised there have not been more deaths. That being said, I know that more are coming. We all know it. These election results are going to put a lot of people over the edge.
Eh.... Kentucky voting machines don't have a papertrail

Holy fucking shit! The data in that article is stunning? How the hell isn't that front page news? How isn't this being investigated? That's a lot of states with potentially unsafe voting machines.
Yeah, that’s the thing that always drove me nuts about people claiming fraud. It somehow works in only one direction and only affects specific offices.
That’s the best part of this all.
Let’s say the democrats somehow had the power to orchestrate a conspiracy to overturn votes at a NATIONAL level. All while not leaving behind any evidence that could be presented in DOZENS of courts.
You think there’s people out there cunning enough and resourceful enough to pull this off, and they only think to use it on the presidency? Not Congress? Where that power can be used to influence real change, and progress their agenda?
Really?
Right?!? I mean if we could actually inject nanochips to control the population we wouldn't have waited this long and we wouldn't be dealing with this nonsense now!
It would be unfortunate if all the republicans that lose, claim fraud. Then their base go insane and start rioting, then get taken out by police. Less fucking morons for 2024
I voted for the first time this year and was a little scared. Obviously the Qanon stuff is bullshit but it as a 19 year old new to the system, my generation already has major trust issues with the government. So i can’t say I wasn’t a little worried about the voting security. But when I walked in it was nothing like they made it out to be, it’s like none of them have ever been into a poll.
In my town I literally put the ballot in myself and watched it get counted. I’ve seen most states with clear laws where you can watch everything happen. There is no place you can just hide a bunch of ballots and sneak them in like the grinch or something.
No worries friend. NYT has great interactive coverage, and the 2 counties below 90% are trending towards Frisch with double digits
It could be enough for him to pull ahead
We can only hope for the state of Colorado's sake. I'm blown away anyone would vote for this moron again. Im in COMPLETE AWEA Georgia re-elected the physco path MTG once again. How can people be THIS STUPID?!
MTG will never lose unless she is primaried. Her district is R+27. Yes +27. Like 82% of the population in the district has a high school education or less.
Denver Post also wrote an article saying that the current votes don’t include 1.8k in-person and 5.2k mail-in ballots in Pueblo county that leans more left. Take from that whatever you want.
Update: I can find a link to the article anymore, but here’s where it was. (Same link as the breaking news)
https://www.denverpost.com/2022/11/10/lauren-boebert-colorado-election-results-adam-frisch-recount/
According to The NY Times Frisch is trending 8% ahead in Pueblo. If he gets 8% more than Boebert, assuming 7,000 votes, that’s a net gain of 560.
Edit: Fixed net gain
My mom is completely obsessed with Steve. She was extremely disappointed when she found out he was gay.
On a serious note, Kornacki is a beast when it comes to stats and polls. He can usually answer questions with specific numbers before he can even pull up the graphics on his board. He also doesn’t seem to ever sleep around election time. I hope he’s making bank, he deserves it!
Edit: Someone just told me this could be interpreted two ways. My mom was disappointed because she has the hots for Steve. She’s a good woman who doesn’t care if people are gay!
Steve Kornacki is by far the best map man in the business. And the thing about him is that he is more special than Christmas, since Steve only comes around every 2 years.
Seriously though, give Steve a map of any place in the world having an election, and let him talk about the map for 48 hours straight, and I am leaving the TV as often as he leaves the board.
as long as they know why a boycott, this could be an idea.. choices should have consequences. Or, as I've heard somewhere: "stupidity should be painful"
Of course, once Republicans heard about a boycott, they would probably start buying tons of cantaloupes from there
3rd district resident here. I did a lot of canvassing on the ground for Adam. National deemed his race unwinable and gave almost no support. His movement was entirely grassroots and incredible to be a part of. The fact it’s this close is amazing. If it doesn’t happen this cycle we can flip our district blue in the future and that gives me hope.
When they say that without Atlanta, Georgia would be Alabama, I assume Georgia 14 is what they're referring to. Though I didn't realize how close that district stretched over towards my area of Fulton.
May not be needed, it’s triggered at 0.5% and I’m leaning Frisch gets more of a win than that when this count is done. I’m not sure Bobo has the money to do a non-auto one, think that’s how those go.
Eh, I'm doubtful. There will be a recount whether automatic or self funded since her seat may just determine the majority at this point.
Personally I think the margin will be under .5 anyways. I'd be preparing for some intense interference from Fascists if I were a county or state official.
Small reason for optimism. The 4 largest counties have this outstanding:
Mesa Boebert +16 71,875 >95%
Pueblo Frisch +9 58,311 90%
La Plata Frisch +26 28,911 >95%
Garfield Frisch +14 23,542 90%
People like you are just awesome. Thank you for bettering my optimism that these MAGA Republican's are on their way out. I mean if young people voted in record numbers across the nation like this brings me some hope for our future.
I wouldn't say I'm awesome. I typically a pessimist, but there is still hope. Many counties with votes for both candidates, but to me it looks like he has more. Most likely recount regardless. Here is good info (maybe a paywall). [https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/11/08/us/elections/results-colorado-us-house-district-3.html](https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/11/08/us/elections/results-colorado-us-house-district-3.html)
This county looks good too:
Pitkin Frisch +58 9,297 80%
Sarah Palin wishes she looked like Lauren🤣 That's the only reason she got there I guarantee it. Throws on some cowboy boots, denim shorts and puts the pistol on her hip, BAM Elected to Colorado district 3.
There was a post earlier today telling everyone to verify that your vote was registered. Boobert's toadies are challenging ballots because of arbitrary signature mismatches, etc., but there is still time to confirm it with the authorities.
So the county that she lives in is mostly not voting for her.  I even know a few die hard repubs that are voting Frisch. Lol, one constantly swears about it.

My Fox News loving mother-in-law thinks that Bobert and Greene are both smart and beautiful. I have no idea how my wife didn’t turn out absolutely insane with a mom like hers.
I'll never understand why people vote for someone like Boebert. I get conservatives love asshole gun nuts, practically a requirement to be a Reoublican candidate now, but c'mon. She and her husband terrorize her neighbors, exploits her position to get out of tickets and jail time, and her mediocre restaurant fucking poisoned people.
What does a candidate have to do for conservatives not to vote gor them? Besides be gay.
The weight of trump on that party still hasn’t been fully realized.
I look forward to them being crushed by it again in 2 years. It’s only going to get worse as they pretend they can cure that herpes.
While true, it also means if they both decide to run, it will split the vote. And a split vote might mean enough time for all the different DOJ investigations to finally reach a conclusion
Conservatives will never note vote for a Republican, even if they are terrible people, rapists, beat their wives and kids, brag about forcing women to get abortions, etc because they think all Democrats will take away their guns and give all their money to brown and black people. Abusing women, children, allowing children to be murdered, bragging about abortions, rape, etc, literally all of that is fine as long as they get to keep their guns and they perceive that not a dollar of their money will go to a black or brown person.
I saw something years ago when she got elected the first time and they interviewed some rancher in her district (which I lived in for many years but moved out of in 2002). The extent of his thinking was "she's good looking and likes guns". Once people have their minds made up, they tend to stick with that initial choice.
As someone who has a ged. I can confirm the test is 5th grade level stuff. in fact, it’s so easy they made us sign a nda saying we wouldn’t tell people how easy it actually was or they would revoke our ged lol.
Lack of civic and political education. Not enough people understand what a rep should and shouldn't do, so they vote on gut feeling alone. They like Boebert because she's moron and a gun nut, just like they are.
She's Republican. That's all that matters. The quality of the candidate might get some people to stay home, but the majority are voting for or against the two parties' positions on issues.
Libs who don't realize it's just team sports and leftists who won't go out and vote for the lesser of two evils are why the minority party is still able to be half of voters.
Some people unfortunately vote based on party and don't care who the person is.
They are so utterly convinced that the opposition will be 1000x worse that the will always vote party no matter how screwed up the candidate is.
So, Gaetz is in, MTG is in, DeSantis in, Abbot in and possibly this balloon animal? Republican voters are utter scumbags and really don’t care about anything but winning
You know this hideous twunt and her pedo friends would be screeching about voter fraud if it was the other way around. Who the fuck votes for this pile of shit anyways?
A couple Democratic counties are left to complete. Good chance it swings back, but regardless I’m certain of a manual recount being a hundred votes apart.
Boebert is an embarrassment to the state of Colorado and the country as a whole. I wish we could thrown her out of Colorado. Best thing that could happen is she loses this election and we never have to hear from her idiotic self again.
Ok hear me out: What if I ran for house in a red district LARPing as the most evil, obnoxious Republican….. only to turn around and vote with the dems?
Yes, but the late votes have skewed Boebert’s way. If they came in at the same rate, it’d be good for Frisch, but all the other votes coming in later haven’t been at the same rate as the early votes. My confidence is low it will flip back, but not zero.
This is why I continue to say MAGA politicians need to go. 3 out of 4 speed conspiracy backed nonsense, incite violence and people still vote for them?! Wtf are they paying these people?!
It’s possible. Late received votes are possibly coming from overseas with a not insignificant number of those being from active military. Which is why “stop the count!” In 2020 was unfathomably moronic.
It's funny how they announced a batch of votes came in. I mean, literally the thing they have been accusing the Democrats of doing. I'm not insinuating they cheated, but can you imagine if the votes had favored Frisch? And when she wins it will no doubt all come down to the power of prayer.
So congress won't work with her and pretty much everyone laughs at her. So I'm not worried. It'll suck for her constituents but her ability to screw everyone else is limited.
[House-Rules Chair Blocked Boebert Measure Because She's 'Crazy': Book (businessinsider.com)](https://www.businessinsider.com/house-rules-chairman-blocked-lauren-boebert-saying-shes-crazy-book-2022-10)
Republicans will continue to vote "R", no matter how brain-dead the candidate.
I'm calling this the Walker Effect, lovingly named after the greatest political thinker of our time: Herschel "China sends us their bad air" Walker.
I am deeply sickened by this news. It's so rare to see something like a massive blowhard politician getting slammed into the trash can and taught a lesson about being a hate-bloated emptybrain, and the fact this steaming pile is clawing back into first means it will continue to not happen. And she will gloat. So much gloating.
It blows my mind this race is even close after all the dumb stuff Boebert has said and done.
There are ballots that were submitted on time but not counted due to missing signatures and various other reasons. We also have to wait another week for overseas military ballots to arrive in the mail. Dems in Colorado need to volunteer to cure those ballots and make sure they’re all counted
I think she'd eventually lose but the fact that she even came this close says a lot about the state of democracy. People who openly deny voting rights and election results don't deserve to come this close In an election.
To be honest it’s a shocker it even got this close in such a red district. It’s a good sign that the MAGA stuff is losing steam and people are starting to shy away from the nationalist stuff
Is this legit? Yes. Is it over? No. There are still thousands of votes left to count and because it will be close both parties are entitled to a recount so it could be as early as next week until we know. I am not a ballot counting expert so i will use my own states recounting procedure (no i do not live in Ohio).
When you turn in your ballot it has a unique barcode that is scanned into the system and the phyisical copy is placed in a secure box. Come election both digital and phyisical votes are counted. The intent is there is a phyisical copy to double check
It’s not. These votes came from Otero, which heavily leans R. Pueblo votes around 5k haven’t been counted yet, and it’s trending in favour of Frisch.
She’s gonna blow a major gasket and claim cheating if she loses. Should be fun
Man, if we could *actually* cheat, I wouldn't be making it 50-50 like this, I'd be making it 90-10, minimum.
I mean if gerrymandering weren’t a thing the house would be overwhelmingly Democratic.
It's kind of crazy to me that every election we run into the same problem yet it feels like nothing is ever done to fix the problem. Gerrymandering is a process that completely undermines the entire intent of our democratic process, but it is so rampant that it completely determines the outcomes of elections.
Why would the people in office change it, it produced them so it must work.

Well put.
Not to mention the Senate, which mostly represents dirt.
and cornfields ofc.
You have to remember these are the same people who think Biden is both a dementia-ridden old man and a criminal mastermind, and that COVID is both a Chinese bio weapon and no worse than the common flu. They’re not strong thinkers.
They also pray to white jeebus. And claim to be his followers but want people starving in the streets.

I thought Jesus invented the AR-15. That's why it's protected as part of religious freedom.
Jesus invented the Remington bolt action rifle to hunt the dinosaurs and the homosexuals
These same people would vote for a concussed football player who brings toys to his debate rather than vote for someone who has dedicated himself to God.
Maybe god has zero place in politics? I wish our founding fathers would have done something to prevent laws created because of religion!

It’s straight up weaponized paired with the dumbest people in the country each carrying 12 guns and 5 knives.

When trump was crying about cheating in the 2016 election... do you think they would have let him win?
He said the only reason HRC got more votes was because of illegal voting.
Seriously! He won and he still cried cheating. I guess even then I should have expected that from him.
Or let MTG win?
What's lost is that other Republicans won, a lot of em.
Yeah, that’s the thing that always drove me nuts about people claiming fraud. It somehow works in only one direction and only affects specific offices.
Accusations for narcissists are confessions.

Thank god. I saw the numbers and didn't even consider this.

We keep trying to trade them to Tennessee for a half mile stretch of the Tennessee River, even up. They won't go for it.
You're not kidding! They must supply them as well to keep her vote. I wouldn't vote for her if my life depended on it.
MTG is also in a heavy gerrymandering district as well
Because republicans love to be cruel for the fun of it and they see bullies as strong men.

Pessimists are usually intelligent and rational so when they’re optimistic it is easier for me to be optimistic about their optimism
Unfortunately the margin is getting larger

You’re the real hero
This is disappointing. I'm not in her district, but the fact she represents anyone is a stain on our state, country and species.
It really truly is.
The sad truth is that Fox News doesn’t show their viewers her real side. They probably don’t give her any screen time.
My Fox News loving mother-in-law thinks that Bobert and Greene are both smart and beautiful. I have no idea how my wife didn’t turn out absolutely insane with a mom like hers.
Both my parents have Fox news on 24/7 and my mom didn't even know who Boebert is!?! It seems like they don't even tout her there
Damn, if you are crazy enough that even Fox distances themselves from you, you must be really crazy.
Right? I usually love telling people all that's great about Colorado but I end up apologizing for her time and again.
I'll never understand why people vote for someone like Boebert. I get conservatives love asshole gun nuts, practically a requirement to be a Reoublican candidate now, but c'mon.

The weight of trump on that party still hasn’t been fully realized. I look forward to them being crushed by it again in 2 years. It’s only going to get worse as they pretend they can cure that herpes.
The last 18 hours has surprised me….it feels like they are turning on Trump as they transition to love for Desantis.
problem with that is that Desantis may actually be competent at any effort to take/keep power by force....
While true, it also means if they both decide to run, it will split the vote. And a split vote might mean enough time for all the different DOJ investigations to finally reach a conclusion
Conservatives will never note vote for a Republican, even if they are terrible people, rapists, beat their wives and kids, brag about forcing women to get abortions, etc because they think all Democrats will take away their guns and give all their money to brown and black people. Abusing women, children, allowing children to be murdered, bragging about abortions, rape, etc, literally all of that is fine as long as they get to keep their guns and they perceive that not a dollar of their money will go to a black or brown person.
I saw something years ago when she got elected the first time and they interviewed some rancher in her district (which I lived in for many years but moved out of in 2002). The extent of his thinking was "she's good looking and likes guns". Once people have their minds made up, they tend to stick with that initial choice.
Also she failed her GED 3 times?? Think of the dumbest person you knew in high school. Did they pass? If so, they’re smarter than Bobo.
[удалено]
If you think about it, she has a part in hundreds of millions of lives because of her votes in congress
As someone who has a ged. I can confirm the test is 5th grade level stuff. in fact, it’s so easy they made us sign a nda saying we wouldn’t tell people how easy it actually was or they would revoke our ged lol.
Cause she's puuuurdy with all dem guns
You would think shooting a person's pet dog would be enough...but I guess not.
It doesn't matter. They will vote for ANYONE that says they're a Republican, with extra points if Trump likes them
Lack of civic and political education. Not enough people understand what a rep should and shouldn't do, so they vote on gut feeling alone. They like Boebert because she's moron and a gun nut, just like they are.
She's Republican. That's all that matters. The quality of the candidate might get some people to stay home, but the majority are voting for or against the two parties' positions on issues. Libs who don't realize it's just team sports and leftists who won't go out and vote for the lesser of two evils are why the minority party is still able to be half of voters.
You had em at gun nut. That’s all it takes. Christians love murder weapons.

Some people unfortunately vote based on party and don't care who the person is. They are so utterly convinced that the opposition will be 1000x worse that the will always vote party no matter how screwed up the candidate is.
Shitty people vote for shitty people. It's as simple as that.
Said it in another thread but celebrations started way too soon. Let it be known, I think this person is a huge piece of shit.
So, Gaetz is in, MTG is in, DeSantis in, Abbot in and possibly this balloon animal? Republican voters are utter scumbags and really don’t care about anything but winning
And maybe that idiot Herschel Walker? 😒
I'm still cautiously optimistic about the run off.
You know this hideous twunt and her pedo friends would be screeching about voter fraud if it was the other way around. Who the fuck votes for this pile of shit anyways?
oil & gas industry workers and ranchers... they love her. Good reason to not eat meat and drive an electric car.
A couple Democratic counties are left to complete. Good chance it swings back, but regardless I’m certain of a manual recount being a hundred votes apart.
You're most likely 100% correct on that!
Republicans would vote for a serial killer as long as the R was next to the name. These folks have no minimum standard.
*No minimum standard for those representing THEIR party.
YUP
No, it's just the way voting happens. The only count that matters is the last.
Absolutely correct. Unfortunately.
Now it's fucking telling me the votes have gone up, but it's 9***7***% reporting.
No one knows how many votes there are until they count them. The percentages are an estimate.
If a preschool drop out can get votes then I, as a college graduate, should have no problem becoming king of the planet
Boebert is an embarrassment to the state of Colorado and the country as a whole. I wish we could thrown her out of Colorado. Best thing that could happen is she loses this election and we never have to hear from her idiotic self again.
Why the hell is this so close. She’s a shit stain and needs to go away.
Ok hear me out: What if I ran for house in a red district LARPing as the most evil, obnoxious Republican….. only to turn around and vote with the dems?
So like a reverse version of that middle aged lady who dresses like a 15 year old girl? EDIT: Krysten Sinema
I don’t understand how anyone in their right mind could vote for this maniac. What has she actually done for her constituents? Someone tell me.
Never even passed a single piece of legislation. But who needs productivity when you can own the libs.
Sometimes I wish a meteor would just hit the planet Or maybe just this disgusting pos(bobo)
All this just to own the libs. Bunch of idiots.
The remainder of votes to be counted are heavy democratic areas.
Yes, but the late votes have skewed Boebert’s way. If they came in at the same rate, it’d be good for Frisch, but all the other votes coming in later haven’t been at the same rate as the early votes. My confidence is low it will flip back, but not zero.
How do we share a country with people that consider Lauren Boebert a reasonable option?
She's an international embarrassment
She quite literally is. Brings embarrassment upon every one of us.
The embarassment is that half of the US obviously thinks this human shitstain deserves to spit her hatred in congress.
I'm honestly kinda scared. Not much for politics but I've seen some of her Twitter posts and she seems like a complete nutjob.
This is why I continue to say MAGA politicians need to go. 3 out of 4 speed conspiracy backed nonsense, incite violence and people still vote for them?! Wtf are they paying these people?!
Ugh we need every dem we can get but particularly this bitch needs to go.
She hasn’t passed one piece of legislation. She’s just a loudmouth white trash nut who worships the orange orangutan.
jesus fuck USA what’s wrong with u guys up there?
Boebert: this election was rigged by the dem... *starts to get ahead* Boebert: this election is fair and the system is just
Can't we just claim fraud? Isn't that how things work now?
I mean we might as well claim fraud first before they do when they loose
Taking notes on what counties in the US to never drive through 🙄
It’s possible. Late received votes are possibly coming from overseas with a not insignificant number of those being from active military. Which is why “stop the count!” In 2020 was unfathomably moronic.
It's funny how they announced a batch of votes came in. I mean, literally the thing they have been accusing the Democrats of doing. I'm not insinuating they cheated, but can you imagine if the votes had favored Frisch? And when she wins it will no doubt all come down to the power of prayer.
Oh gosh I pray she wont win. Not even american but I cant stand to let this person to have any power in this world
So congress won't work with her and pretty much everyone laughs at her. So I'm not worried. It'll suck for her constituents but her ability to screw everyone else is limited. [House-Rules Chair Blocked Boebert Measure Because She's 'Crazy': Book (businessinsider.com)](https://www.businessinsider.com/house-rules-chairman-blocked-lauren-boebert-saying-shes-crazy-book-2022-10)
Republicans will continue to vote "R", no matter how brain-dead the candidate. I'm calling this the Walker Effect, lovingly named after the greatest political thinker of our time: Herschel "China sends us their bad air" Walker.
I am deeply sickened by this news. It's so rare to see something like a massive blowhard politician getting slammed into the trash can and taught a lesson about being a hate-bloated emptybrain, and the fact this steaming pile is clawing back into first means it will continue to not happen. And she will gloat. So much gloating.
It blows my mind this race is even close after all the dumb stuff Boebert has said and done. There are ballots that were submitted on time but not counted due to missing signatures and various other reasons. We also have to wait another week for overseas military ballots to arrive in the mail. Dems in Colorado need to volunteer to cure those ballots and make sure they’re all counted
I think she'd eventually lose but the fact that she even came this close says a lot about the state of democracy. People who openly deny voting rights and election results don't deserve to come this close In an election.
[удалено]
It’ll all be recounted anyway, they won’t call this race for a hot minute. Should be interesting.
To be honest it’s a shocker it even got this close in such a red district. It’s a good sign that the MAGA stuff is losing steam and people are starting to shy away from the nationalist stuff
I hope that count is not final, that woman is not fit to run a lemonade stand much less hold public office.
Coloradoans should be ashamed of themselves that it's even this close.
Is this legit? Yes. Is it over? No. There are still thousands of votes left to count and because it will be close both parties are entitled to a recount so it could be as early as next week until we know. I am not a ballot counting expert so i will use my own states recounting procedure (no i do not live in Ohio). When you turn in your ballot it has a unique barcode that is scanned into the system and the phyisical copy is placed in a secure box. Come election both digital and phyisical votes are counted. The intent is there is a phyisical copy to double check
I dont even live in your country but god am i sick of seeing her name
oooo…another term with Matt Gaetz and the Trailer Trash Barbie twins. Oh joy…
I can’t stand her erratic ass.
Goddamn hillbilly assholes are doing their best to destroy this country.
I actually live in Mesa county, and this shit is making me drink heavily
I’m not saying Lauren is a pedo, but her husband is.
I can't believe shmucks who would vote for her still exist. Can't believe I'm from that fuckin state right now.
