Off-Topic What Happens To Ds If Rs Take Back House?

R’s or D’s?

Is OH up for redraw in 24 as well?

It’s a ton of stuff here in NC that could change. I’m talking redraw and a host of other election things like voter ID, accepting late ballots, etc. that have only been held back by activist judges.

Correct. Rs get reasonable voter integrity measures put into place and its going to be tough for Ds.

Also, don't run douche bags like Crawford and his clone from last night who flame out.

Find young Desantis clones and they win NC-13 by 20 pts.

Rs failure last night is probably worse than Carroll not giving Marshawn Lynch the ball at goaline.

Idk about 20 points bc of Wake county. But both Hines and Nickel had little support. Was the strangest race I’ve ever seen. Nobody cared about it. No signs, no commercials outside of local tv, nothing. NC GOP went all in on Budd, state senate ads and judicial ads. And it worked.

IMO they expand 2 throughout Wake and shrink 13 to Johnston, Harnett, etc. That’s the way.

Perhaps the only bright spot for Rs this cycle:

Texas and Florida have shrunk Ds national map. Ds had a very large majority of their "mainstream*" incumbents and challengers run this cycle and they won nearly every race against "toss up" bat shït crazy Rs. NC, thankfully, tilted back to rationality and went mostly R, but it is something to watch. Expect Ds to try to turn NC via Raleigh and Charlotte (areas now hated by rest of NC) much like Philly dominates Pennsylvania.

If Rs had run reasonable people, they probably take 20 more seats, maybe 30 away from Ds last night.

So Rs have to ask themselves this:

Do they want to focus on yet unproven election tampering (FOCUS ON BALLOT HARVESTING damnit!) or do they actually want to win races? Hard to set agendas when you are in the minority.

Also, Arizona is far more damaged for Rs than they thought. It will take an immediate and long term "Florida way" plan to turn the tide in the desert say 8-12 years from now. Rs in Phoenix have utterly failed in putting into place reasonable voter ID measures and it gas cost them amd will continue to do so. The "Florida Hispanics to Red" technique might also prove fruitful in Nevada (an emerging bellweather state).

Lastly, I believe last night's results shoved the nation much closer to either a bitterly negotiated or violent breaking up of the US.

As for Arizona... if Lake ends up pulling out a 'W'... there's a chance things turn around there

Please explain how gerrymandering could possibly impact a statewide vote for governor.

Surely you realize that the red governor “turning his state red” (which is the quote I responded to) was not a reference to him winning his own re-election.

Or perhaps you don’t.
