Hubby and I voted last week and so freaking glad that Voting Day is here finally, Hoping for a RED TIDAL WAVE!!!!!

I'm hoping some of that RED will hit us out here in CA but i'm not to optimistic. LOL

I don't really care who anyone voted for .... but I am SO HAPPY that this election is almost over.... I am sick and tired of voter ADS & CALLS !!!!!!!!

Dropped mine in the mail last week. I HATE the mail-in voting, the only other option we have is to go to the courthouse during business hours, fill the ballot out and drop it in the box. I preferred, showing my ID and using the machine to vote. 

We even had to put a stamp on the ballot, some counties were prepaid and others weren't. That was extra annoying to me. 

Too close in Texas. Chalking it up to the influx of blue coats moving in and bringing their "values " along with them.. Husband and I discussing where to move lol. Florida, Wyoming or possibly Nevada. Saw some videos this morning of people melting down in Austin. Smh 

Same here as well. Thinking South Dakota looks good if I can convince the husband

We went to vote last night & were very suprised. Usually there is about 5 or 6 people there & there was a crowd waited about 30 minutes to put our ballot in the counting machine. I was voter 1324. Normally there are about 400 voters. So glad to see so many people taking an interest.  

how y'all liking the red wave that wasn't?

Ha ha ha ha, well the thought of it happening was good/fun untill it didnt happen, but Life gos on

At least we still have Greg Abbott and not that Puke Beto!!! 

Still have a shot at both the House and Senate.  The wheels are grinding slowly.  

Somebody shut down that border or there will be more of them than there are of us.

It sure was in Florida, and we enjoyed it!

i was afraid of that    to much  beating on chest to much chicken counting.

but dam  fetterman in pa thats dumb dumb     stacie in ga  thank god  but warnock he is a demon./ walker  should have said yes  i screwed up but i grew up  not the same man  and talkedf about issues not dirt

love my gov

The GOP red wave didn't happen.  In fact, by modern day standards, they grossly underperformed in a mid term election, and that is even more eye popping when you consider the horrible condition the USA is in (the border, fentanyl, inflation, the economy, and so forth, plus the president has a 40% approval.  It sure seemed like a "red wave" was a near certainty.  It looks like they'll end up with a slim majority in the house, and gaining a slim majority in the senate is a coin toss at this point.
There are a few bright spots for Republicans, to be sure, the most obvious is the GOP wins in Florida.  DeSantis and Rubio obliterated their opponents, as did the vast majority (17) of the 24 House seats.  
In my opinion, if I had to zero in on one overarching factor, it would be the issue of mail in ballots.  The election of Fetterman to the senate in PA best illustrates this. I can't imagine anyone actually thinking this guy was fit to serve in any public office.  I mean the guy went through an entire campaign without muttering a single coherent sentence.  He followed Biden's example from 2020 by rarely making any public appearance.....and yet, he won.  It wasn't really that close, actually.  Because of Covid, Democrats were able to institute mail-in voting, which meant that by the time Oz and Fetterman debated, 70% of Democrat votes were already cast.  
Florida had a huge turnout of over 7.5 million voters.  The votes were cast, and tabulated, with the results known by 9pm.  No glitches.  No shenanigans. No delays. We saw the same thing back in 2020.  
Compare that to places like Maricopa county where voting machines ran out of ink, etc....so we won't have all the votes tabulated for several days.  Why so long?  Does this inspire confidence in the system?  

Here's how they do it in France.  France is not a small country, with about 50 million registered voters.  Every registered voter must vote in person.  There is no early voting, and votes are cast in person in a booth, like we used to do in the US. Your ballot is placed in an envelope, and dropped in a box when you leave.  There are no chain-of-custody issues.  There is strict voter ID.  Machines are not used.  Results are tabulated and known within a day.  They did not change their voting rules because of Covid.  The stated reason is that this minimizes fraud.  They did try voting machines for a few years but abandoned them because of security concerns.

I think this is why Biden bizarrely admonished that "Democracy is on the line" in this election.  He also said, "Your right to vote is on the ballot", and he called out "election deniers".  
Makes me wonder if he knew something the rest of us didn't know.  

Biden was right.  Democracy is on the line......if this isn't addressed.  

So everyone that won cheated? Every winner should be scrutinized and their win is suspect? Or is it only the Democrat winners that cheated?  What a mess! 

Now the cry, (whine), is let's be France? That's a new one. 

As for Fetterman vs Oz, Fetterman is everything the GOP thought they were getting in Trump. But the GOP hates him because of the D behind his name. THe man had a stroke. He will get better. Oz is Oz, he's not getting better. Oz is nothing more than a more polite Trump. Totally unqualified for office. If the GOP wanted to win that race all they had to do was put up a halfway qualified candidate.

You want to bah Fetterman when your party put up Walker in Ga. Talk about can't put 2 sentences together. But that's OK, he's got the Trump seal of approval.

Back to the election fraud stuff and the deniers, how do you innerweb people have so much more evidence than any public official, the FBI, congress and the Justice Dept?  And why aren't you turning over this evidence?

The ones making those claims where they would count have lost every single court case. I was just reading some posts by a zealot about Hunter Biden's laptop. This guys has more evidence of wrong doing by Hunter and Joe than anyone in the state dept and FBI. All from the confines of his home in Evansville, In. I don't know how he gathered everything the FBI and CIA missed or why he's holding on to it and not turning it over. But he's got it all. And he's got supporters to back him up. They even have meeting and stuff and secret passwords so they can share this valued information among themselves. They chant "Dark to light, dark to light". That criminal Flynn is one of their heroes. All that evidence just sitting there in Evansville, In.

My hope is that doesn't change and Trump is the GOP nominee in '24. As long as thye GOP keeps putting up candidates like Trump, Oz and Walker they will continue to lose. Unless they can get that cult in Evansville to come forward with all this ****ing evidence they have sitting there. 

Trump and the abortion issue hurt the GOP.  Trump just can't help himself and his latest brutal attack on DeSantis isn't setting well with many conservatives.  DeSantis brought the red wave to Florida through discipline and policy which has now went from purple to red.  This ticked Trump off that someone's light was brighter than his.  Trump should have stayed out of the midterms and he will cause the GA senate seat to stay blue if he annouces his big, big news as planned. He is blaming Melania and others on his team for the OZ loss.  Trump pushed these candidates and the GOP just rolled right over like good little doggies.  I voted for him twice but not again.  Look what we got just by him running and indicating a 2024 run, Biden the biggest bumbling fool I have ever seen, has completely trashed the country and fetterman stroke or no stroke has some of the most extreme policies I have ever seen.

I respect what you are saying, and I get it. I've rolled my eyes a time or two myself.  Here's why I'm not giving up on Trump....he had a detailed agenda, and he delivered on it. We would be in much better shape had Trump won in 2020, in my opinion.  When it came to delivering on promises, nobody has done better in my lifetime.  I care much less about his personality, so long as he gets goals met.  Trump is like that as$hole football coach who knows how to win championships or that as$hole CEO who builds a thriving, growing company. There's no reason to believe DeSantis can't a complish the same thing, but keep in mind Trump had a lot to do with DeSantis getting where he is. Were it not for Trump, DeSantis wouldn't have won his primary prior to his 2018 election. If DeSantis ends up with the nomination, I'll definitely vote for him. 

I think the whole Fetterman thing is sad and then to say that Walker can't put 2 sentences together is even a sadder thing. The man speaks with a regional dialect and  it is okay to vilify him for that?  Glad that works for you.

We put a man on the moon and got 3 men back from a failed mission and we can't get votes counted???? Only in Florida is counting quickly and concisely possible apparently with out being political

Trump did a lot of great things when he was in office despite him constantly having to fight battles with the irritational dems that could not get beyond their TDS.  But he also made some poor decisions as well and when they went bad he turned on people around him. Like him turning on Melania and others over the OZ loss.  Since when does he listen to Melania? He has had two years to stop and think about what he needs to do to get back in office and nothing has changed.  Again he can't help himself and he is who he is.  One thing I will give him he has never demonized the dem voters like Biden, Pelosi, Obama, Clinton I believe he is for all people and just goes after his opponents. 

Trump gave DeSantis a start but he did not make DeSantis.  Lately since DeSantis has started to become popular for a 2024 run Trump has taken digs at him, threatening him and that is uncalled for.  DeSantis has not once committed to a 2024 run but Trump can't stand another promising GOP star taking some of his spotlight.  DeSantis is brilliant and even had democrats cross over to his side.  DeSantis won Miami Dade bigley.  I am not a Glen Beck fan but I watched him break down the midterms and he said it perfectly, DeSantis is decisive not divisive.  DeSantis has said before he has to watch his mouth and he counts on his wife to keep his straight.  DeSantis will listen and does listen.  Trump on the other hand does not listen.  He stilled teased a 2024 run the night before the election, he teased all through the midterms about a 2024 run while many of his advisors asked him to hold off.  He thought there was going to be a red wave that he could claim because of him and it didn't happen.  It doesn't matter if I vote for him or not because the dems will not let him back in office and one thing Trump has never been able to do is stay out front of them.

I watched the warnock walker debate and walker kicked butt.  He is not just a dumb jock and he had warnock on his toes.  I never expected to see that but it came up on my youtube feed and I watched it.  He was very direct and to the point unlike warnock who refused to answer some of the questions.  I like that Walker owns his past and doesn't blame anyone but himself.  Warnock on the other hand is a slum lord, wife abuser, etc and never once answered to it.
