    Special election in California was held today to fill Democrat Katie Hill's seat. Hill resigned last fall after allegations of improper conduct with a staff member.

    With 76.3% of the vote in, Republican Mike Garcia is ahead 55.7% to Democrat Christy Smith with 44.3% of the vote.

    And this should scare the hell out of the DNC, 2 Trump backed candidates win in the vital rust belt state of Wisconsin and their stronghold of California in the middle of the Wuhan virus recession in Trump's fourth year of office, before he has even begun to campaign with his huge war chest?

    Good for him.

    And Garcia will lose in November and flip it back to Dem.

    Woah, is this trying to turn California red??? How unexpected. Is this a trend or just one of California's conservative rural counties?

    It's a conservative area. Sexual predator Blue chick, Katie Hill, flipped the seat in 2018 before resigning in disgrace. Voters are unlikely to be as complacent as they were in 2018.

    The democrats tried to cheat again. When they saw that he was ahead in mail in ballots they immediately opened up a voting location in a heavy democrat area. Can you imagine the exploding heads on the left if the GOP ever did that, it would be 24/7 news on every MSM outlet. Well now that the Democrats have set a precedent, then why the hell not?

    He won anyway right under Pelosi's witch nose. Awesome.

    You also bet that Hillary Clinton was going to win, than welched on those bets. So nobody really takes your predictions all that seriously.
