    United States 2024: United States Senate Dicussion Thread

    @Sergeant Foley, I personally hope it’s Walker; the polling has Warnock slightly ahead but it’s still very close. I’m guessing Walker pulls off a very close upset The main thing Walker has going for him, unlike Lake or Oz, is that he’s not only kept it focused on issues but he’s an actual...

    No, it can’t. They are given a time frame if there’s any real doubt to do recounts (note that there ARE provisions for postponements but those have to be agreed upon). If they did find tampered ballots, then authorities would contact each voter individually to confirm who they voted for -which...

    That tweet is about a week old; Mohave did certify it three days ago, after the county attorney explained that, yes, they can’t go making a political statement about what goes on in another county*. The legal authority tasked with enforcing the law sending a reminder someone that a failure to...

    50 Senators, 203 representatives. As for when, I have no idea. I know the Democrats last controlled the House in 2010. That’s a question for Google, honestly.

    Part of that is how PA structures their legislative elections: the whole House is up every two years but for the Senate it’s only half. It’s not necessarily *that* big a challenge to overcome, though the PA GOP is a dumpster fire in terms of its leadership generally, and it doesn’t help when...

    Depends on how early. A couple of weeks before is fine; my parents used it this year because they were out of town the week of the election. I used it the week before because I figured it would be one less thing to have to worry about. ID I’m fine with as well, though that means also reforming...

    Laxalt was pretty close, and remember that Dingy Harry’s political machine is still a thing even with him dead. As far as Kelly and Hassan go, again, that’s what happens when you nominate shitty candidates, like in 2010. Maybe next time don’t nominate people who are considered lunatics by most...

    That is what I was referring to, yes. Though he did finally make a statement of approval (sort of) the night before Election Day…and then was back at blasting Kemp on Wednesday. My point is that Trump is just that much of a spiteful asshole who only cares about himself and doesn’t care who or...

    Except in the eyes of most of America, Trump is the greater evil. It wasn’t Biden who decided to hold a rally and rile it up enough to try and storm the Capitol, or scheme to come up with shady legal theories and no actual evidence of material fraud (no, really, every time his lawyers were...

    Or...maybe the voters think "Yeah having a whackjob as our representative is a *bad* thing, even if she is nominally Republican?"

    Partly, yes. But also keep in mind that there are a couple other things in play, especially (again) Oz being a shit-tier candidate *from outside of the state.* Most people don't appreciate that kind of person showing up and suddenly taking a Senate seat, unless said state is so solidly one color...

    Mastriano was never going to win. There’s a reason (actually several) that the DGA (yes, the Democratic Governors Association) and Josh Shapiro & Co dumped so much money into his primary -double what Mastriano himself spent, actually. This and 1) the fact that Oz is a carpetbagger (he’s...
