How come Democrats aren’t talking about the mid-term popular vote? Last count it looks like Republican candidates in the mid-terms received about 5 million more votes than Democrats.

Last count it looks like Republican candidates in the mid-terms received about 5 million more votes than Democrats. Maybe there was a red wave. Thoughts.

Just like in 2020, there are a number of things in this midterm that defy logic. Unfortunately, we will likely never know for sure why the results turned out so much different than expected in the house.

Yep. As long as there are drop boxes, mass mailing of ballots, machine counts, and ballot harvesting we will never have elections where most think the outcome is accurate. Unfortunately; I believe the republicans must play the same game. Support drop boxes, use ballot harvesting where allowed. Beat the cheaters at their own game.

Absolutely right. We have lost ballot chain of custody as well as a secret ballot free from manipulation or coercion.

More cheating to fight cheating isn't the answer. That's a spiral that never ends until the whole system is destroyed. Politicians have rigged the game. We need to find a way to un-rig it.
