Kentucky governor: Andrew Beshear(D) has won re-election. Daniel Cameron couldn't win against Beshear in a solid red state. Cameron ran a mediocre campaign that solely focused on his Trump endorsement.
Republicans still managed to win all of the downballot offices: SOS, AG, Treasurer and Agriculture commissioner.
The sad truth is that we probably shouldn't run a Black man as the GOP candidate in a southern state like Kentucky.
Ohio: Dems have won yet another abortion referendum in a red state. GOP needs to stop fucking having these referendums. Clear that abortion is sadly popular nationwide. Abortion is clearly a losing issue for Republicans.
Virginia Legislature: The Dems have kept the State Senate denying Governor Youngkin and the Republicans a tri-fecta.
Pretty terrible night for Republicans all around.
I will say that there was election outcome affecting fraud in AZ, GA, WI, MI, PA in the 2020 Presidential election.
There was likely outcome affecting fraud in the AZ Gov election and AZ AG election in 2022.
In all of these elections the vote counters actually kept "finding" mail in ballots until the Dems won the race.
Today nothing like that happened. In which race today did they have the GOP candidate leading but the Dem still won after mail in ballots being dumped?
The outcomes of the races were known to us today on the night of the election. There was no midnight ballot dumps changing the outcome.
What happened today is clearly not fraud.
We lost many races today because the GOP's abortion stance is this vehemently hated by the degenerate electorate.
We cannot just say that every election we lose is stolen.
We must learn from our mistakes and change our messaging on abortion. We cannot win any swing race if our candidates get classified as restricting abortion.
We need to message better and not have our candidates painted as religious lunatics who want to control women's wombs.
This is what the electorate sadly thinks about many of our candidates.
True, but the pundit I listened to this morning was also blaming "messaging."
I hate to say it, it's not them messaging, abortion restriction are a loser almost everywhere. End of story.
If Republicans want to get control of the issue they need a clear policy at the state and national level (not national LAWS, but the agreement within the party). That's not going to happen. Repubs depend too much on religious absolutists on the abortion issue.
