    Yes.

    Being able to overcome the election fraud machine one time does not suddenly make the election fraud machine go away. --- This is going to be the Democrat talking point btw ("SEE! Trump WASN'T cheated!!! Elections ARE fair!!!) --- I'm not asleep at the wheel anymore. I'm not going to be fooled so easily.

    No, it doesn't.... You have a logical issue, one of identity.

    The 2021 Virginia Gubernatorial race is NOT the 2020 Presidential race, dude...

    I'm sure cheating still happened on behalf of democrats but this time the margin was to large to make up

    BINGO. It was overcome one time.. That does not mean that it didn't exist in 2020 and that it wasn't attempted (and failed) in this race. We must always be exceedingly vigilant of Democrat election fraud in ANY race.

    While it wasn't his biggest mistake, McAwful's decision to drag the Oval Office Anchor out on the campaign trail may have been his last mistake.

    The inconvenient truth: flagrant election fraud has always been common in the US.

    "It remains true, however, that flagrant examples of such fraud in other parts of the country have been documented throughout this Nation’s history by respected historians and journalists,[Footnote 11] that occasional examples have surfaced in recent years,[Footnote 12] and that Indiana’s own experience with fraudulent voting in the 2003 Democratic primary for East Chicago Mayor[Footnote 13]—though perpetrated using absentee ballots and not in-person fraud—demonstrate that not only is the risk of voter fraud real but that it could affect the outcome of a close election."

    I do hope, that since Younkins won, that he will do an audit to swee how many votes were fraudlent.. if he doesn't , they'll steal it from him next time, AND this is a chance to do a proper audit, when the cheaters win, there is no chance of an investigation into voter fraud.

    The markets are on fire this morning. Wall Street is celebrating the best hope we've had all year.

    Election fraud won't allow for an "on paper" landslide, but glad to see that it was overcome for once.

    I'd contend that if not for fraud, Demonrats would be a small percentage of the elect.

    I know how it works.

    Elections aren't rigged when they are won by a Republican.

    Otherwise, you cry foul, see cheating everywhere and riot.

    And this is why I can't really join in the happiness that a lot of other Conservatives feel about a handful of elections here and there.

    The hyperliberals will simply study their losses, and then double-down on more, and new, welfare and 'subsidy' handouts, and, pile on with new stories throughout the liberal mainstream media about how 'racist', 'unfair', and generally horrible we as a nation are.

    THOSE are the kinds of things that help Democrats win elections in the 21st-century, and don't think for a moment that they don't know it!
    And, it will still be more than another year before we have our next Congressional elections, so don't get too happy too soon.

    There is little evidence that RP/DP party bosses have any interest in free and fair elections.

    “Since the country's colonial days, concerns of voter fraud have inspired ever-more complicated ways to cast one's ballot. Depending on where you live, you may vote tomorrow with a lever, a punch card, a marker or a touchscreen. As election scholar Andrew Gumbel notes, the U.S. has been both a "living experiment in the expansion of democratic rights" and a "world-class laboratory for vote suppression and election-stealing techniques.”

    The Democrats are losing ground. This race shows the country is shifting to the right politically as Biden and the Democrats is failing America.

    In New Jersey the race is still undecided as the Democrat is barely winning there.

    RP politicians have no interest in substantive reforms.
    The RP wins elections when DP pols become so repulsive that Democrats and Independents have to vote for RP ciphers in self defense.

    It’s the history repeating itself. They gain control and go crazy and get punished next election.

    I hate to beam sunshine all over your black cloud but you'll be pleased to know that Lefties/Dems threw all that crap and more at Republicans in the Virginia elections and they still lost big. Even shloads of out-of-state money couldn't save their hides.

    As I said earlier, I see a surly electorate out there. Republican got theirs last year and Dems are just starting to get theirs.

    Perhaps I am slightly more optomistic. It still doesn't bely the underlying premise that with these losses, I will predict that liberals will use these losses as an excuse to return to burning down the house. Just so they can use the excuse to burn more of our cities down. Because, according to them, protest isn't crime. It actually is, but you get the direction I feel democrats will now move towards.

    ZERO Chance of that now.

    Murphy has pulled ahead, and uncounted ballots skew heavily Democratic.

    Philip Murphy, Dem (i) 1,187,840 - 50 percent

    Jack Ciattarelli, GOP 1,180,645 - 49 percent

    I can't completely disagree with you, although there are still a hell of a lot more loyal, Constitution-loving Conservative Americans than there are of any other variety.

    But the truth of what you infer is easy to see when, for instance, we take even a casual look at the U. S. Tax Code! Neither Democrats, Republicans, so-called "Independents", RINO's, et al, have been able to overhaul the U. S. Tax Code so that all the loopholes, tax shelters, exclusions, exemptions, deductions, 'carried-interest', and other wretchedly unfair provisions are removed. Both Republican AND Democrat politicians enjoy the Tax Code pretty much exactly as it is -- and their wealthy donors and themselves laugh all the way to the bank, year after year after year....
