| GOP Path to Win the Senate Widens With Several Previously Unlikely Scenarios in Play |
| 2022-11-07 |
| [PJ] When the story of the 2022 midterm elections is written, there will probably be considerable space devoted to the unlikely way in which Republicans were able to win their majority. As it stands now — the Saturday before election day — the Democrat’s road to a Senate majority is extremely narrow. Best case scenario: they may be able to lose two seats while still retaining their 50-50 advantage with Vice President Harris casting the deciding vote. The current board shows 6 toss-up races. Two of those seats are currently in the GOP’s hands — Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Two other Republican-held seats in Ohio and Florida were toss-ups at one time but have moved into the "lean GOP" category. If Democrats manage to win in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, Republicans will have to win at least three of the remaining Democratic-held toss-up seats to win a one-seat majority. It would be a challenge but certainly not impossible. But in a truly tsunami-like election, the wave becomes a destructive force for Democrats, meaning that even seats that "lean Democratic" may be in play. This means that Sen. Maggie Hassan’s New Hampshire seat is up for grabs as well as Sen. Patty Murray’s Washington Senate seat. |

| #14 make the republicans lose by a narrow, believable margin. 20,000 vote margin in each of AZ, GA and PA. The accompanying narrative will be “poor candidate quality” did in the Republicans |

| #13 If you are registered and don't vote, your registration is available to the cheaters. Every registered voter who shows up on election day and votes, reduces the margin of fraud via camouflaged fake ballots assigned to valid registrations. |

| #12 If things go well, on Wednesday denying election results is going to be the highest form of patriotism. |

| #10 I suppose the task before the deepState now is to make the republicans lose by a narrow, believable margin. So as to not invite mass civil disturbance. Because if the Dems 'win', it'll be pretty obvious what's going on. |

| #4 It’s starting. The Pennsylvania Department of State issued a memo on Friday telling election officials in all counties that a "widespread outage" is impacting Statewide Uniform Registry of Electors (SURE) services. This means that the voter databases, as maintained by the state, is essentially non-functioning as election day approaches. SURE is the state-wide system to maintain accurate voting records that county election officials can rely on when managing and facilitating polling places in their counties. |

| #1 In New Hampshire - And while Hassan was vulnerable, Democrats decided to give “election denier” Dan Bolduc $3.2 million to win a primary against a more moderate candidate. But that genius move was offset by McConnell's not supporting Bolduc with cash. In a few days, we'll see the wisdom of those moves. |
