No Red Wave

It means non white hispanics

 

Funny

 

Any thoughts on this? This is a ranked choice state, right? It will come down to how many of the two republicans candidate voters put the other republican candidate as their 2nd choice? Looks like it needs to be almost all of them.

 

They just did this in a special a few months ago, same cast of characters. Peltola had 39.7% after the first round and ended up winning when they counted the second choices of Begich. While Begich is a Republican, he comes from the dynastic Democratic family in Alaska (one Uncle was a US Senator, another is a State Senator, and his Grandfather was a US Senator who died in a plane crash). In addition, his support is largely a group of Republicans that really don't like Palin. In the special Peltola won about 1/3 of Begich's supporters in the second round. Of course, if the remaining vote goes heavily for Palin in the first round, it could be an issue. Or if Begich were able to catch Palin, then it could be an issue, as Palin's supporters are more partisan Republicans.

 

I think it's worth pointing out that the most radical base of the Democratic Party is White liberals, especially in the Northeast and on the Pacific coast, not "people of color."

 

Which is to say not very radical

 

Yes, "we can learn some things from the Castro regime" is not very radical.

You know, I heard Mussolini made the trains run on time, too!

 

Different Latinos.

 

Arizona Gubernatorial update. Hobbs' lead stands at 26,000 with 160,959 ballots left to go. 94,285 are from Maricopa. Of the v remaining 65,000, 38,874 from Pima and 8,500 from Apache Counties, which have been strong blue. Hobbs' gains from these counties will likely be offset by the other rurals, if Lake can win 75%.

As figured, the race will come down to the Maricopa ballots. Today, Lake won 54.5% of the ballots counted. But going forward, Lake needs 62.5% of the Maricopa vote to have any chance.

The remaining Maricopa ballots are expected to break like today's count. While not impossible, it's highly unlikely Lake dies 8% better tomorrow. But since it's not impossible, the race hasn't been called yet. The fat lady hasn't sung yet, but she's warm, and the curtain is rising.

 

They really do when you consider how bad the trumpette pparty is right now

 

Have they finished counting the votes for statehood yet?

 

I’m good with declaring the leader winning in all races as of now. Favors Dems. Stop the steal!!

 

There was a record number of early ballots dropped off on election day. Maricopa County has been counting about 85,000 to 90,000 a day. Slightly above the pace of 2 years ago. Just a lot more to verify and then count.

 

If the thing is lets have good health care for all, high rates of literacy and housing, it isn't radical at all

 

Third World

 

Nope. Just an election system that was drawn up by a R Legislature. Signed and passed by a R Governor. And in the largest county in Arizona, run by a R County Recorder, and a County Board of Supervisors made up of 5 people, 4 of which are Republican.

Also a system that is nothing new. Final counts for Arizona have always taken about a week. The difference is a combination of things. State-wide races haven't always been so close, and again, the number of early ballots dropped off on election day represent a record number this year. Nothing that has happened in Arizona has been unexpected. And other than the record number of drop-offs on Tuesday, the election is proceeding exactly as the last one did. As a reminder, out of over 3 million votes cast in 2020, Republican State Attorney General Mark Brnovich found a grand total of 9 fraudulent votes.

You calling Arizona Third World is more whining from the right. The party that used to call itself the party of personal responsibility that now throws temper tantrums that would make a typical 2-year old bad day seem like a walk in the park. How sad.

 

In the time it took you type all that Florida, with a population of 22.5 million, had all its races called.

 

2 dems & a socialist. Nice work Alaska
