Why Did The Dems Do So Bad In The Senate and House?

I don't know what you think I said. But I provided links to show record numbers of registrations of 90 year olds, compared to previous elections.
Maybe you missed them? If not, please review or, if you can't find them, I'll post them again.
Many of us registered back in the ancient days of paper. Many of the paper forms did not include a birthdate option. When everything was computerized, states just input a generic date for all those people. They may well not be 90, they might be 60, but the system has no idea. https://www.detroitnews.com/story/n...life-into-false-dead-voter-claims/6243962002/
Tracy Wimmer, a spokesperson for Michigan’s secretary of state’s office, told The AP that on rare occasions a ballot received from a voter may be recorded as though that person is too old to be alive. This can occur when an incorrect birth year is entered on voter rolls.
When the birthdate is entered, numbers could be accidentally flipped or simply mistyped, according to Tammy Patrick, a former Arizona election official who now works for the Democracy Fund, a foundation that works on voting issues.
“Some states have a default ‘year of birth’ that they entered for registrations that lacked a year of birth on the old paper forms when voter registration was moved from paper to computer,” Roberts, the political science professor, explained in an email. “Those never get updated and as time goes on the voters with this issue look ‘older’ whether they are or not.”
We know that Trump repeatedly claimed rampant fraud in 2016. He formed a commission to look into it. They didn't find very much at all and quietly disbanded.
I believe the Democrats claimed fraud in 2016 and it took a Special Prosecutor 2 1/2 years to prove it wrong.
I don't know if anyone said fraud. Some said collusion (you can look back, I said I did not believe collusion). We've had a lot of strange things from this election. Sharpiegate out in Arizona (turned out to be nothing). Dead people voting in Michigan (turned out to be living people with the same name), 200 year old people voting in PA (turned out to be 1800 was used as the birthdate for victims of domestic violence and the occasional key entry error), more people voting in some Michigan precincts than lived there (turned out the analysis used Michigan vote totals and Minnesota counties). We had a Trump lawyer claim no one from the campaign was allowed to watch the count in PA, then tried changing that when questioned by the judge to a "non-zero number" campaign officials were watching the counting. Clearly throwing everything against the wall is the strategy being used. I am sure the blame really falls to our lizard men overlords, the moon hoax, Obama's fake birth certificate, the round-earth conspiracy, the people who fabricated the Newtown shooting, and the government employees involved in carrying out 9/11.
I know what I saw election night when there were reporters on the ground, interviewing election officials who weren't allowed anywhere near the tabulation tables. That's not even in doubt.
I saw the counting stopped in the early morning and then, less that 5 hours later, hundreds of thousands of Democrat votes counted. Do you have an explanation for that?
Biden was being given 10s of thousands of votes when the count was released, with few or no Trump votes. Does that make sense to you, statisically?
And I saw the early vote count in Ohio with Biden up pretty big, then Trump came storming back and won the state. You know why I don't cry fraud? I understood that Ohio counted their mail-in votes first and then counted the election day voting. Just as you should understand that states like Pennsylvania counted their election day votes first then counted their mail-in votes (explaining the several hour delay of having to retrieve the mail-in votes that were kept locked up then transported to the counting facility). Wow, you can't be this stupid to understand how this election cycle worked. Didn't the news outlet you were watching fill you in that certain states allowed mail-in voting to be counted first, while other states couldn't start counting their mail-in votes until after the election day votes had been counted? Discrepancies occurred because our elections are run by the individual states with their own set of rules and regulations.
I love how all of you arm chair republicans are screaming fraud, when none of the republicans who were on the front lines and in charge of their states election are claiming any irregularities.
Tell me how hundreds of thousands of votes can be counted when the vote counting is stopped.
You're right - in states like Forida and Ohio, which were swing states, the mail-in votes were counted before election day, at least in Florida. And those states were very much in doubt before the election.
In other swing states that counted mail-in votes after the polls closed on election day, every one went for Biden.
I love how you Democrats are so blind to the obvious.
Then quit posting posts claiming you know what you're talking about.
Naw, your mom got that pic of you from pornhub. It was in the scat category.
It's not remotely true the other swing states went for Biden and they didn't count the mail-in votes until after the polls closed? Sorry, Unc, it's 100% right.
Where did I say all the votes went to Biden. I said he took those states. Are you feeling OK, Unc?
I could have misinterpreted what you wrote. It could have been read a couple different ways.
Let me try again: All the swing states that counted their mail-in votes as they came in went to Trump. All the swing states that started counting mail-in votes after the polls closed went to Biden.
Make of it what you will.
The “swing” states you’re referring to are Ohio and Florida and frankly Florida has increasingly been turning red, mainly from the Cubans who tend to vote republican, and Ohio has always been more red than blue. Now, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin are true swing states and Trump won all 3 of those in 2016 by a very narrow margin. In other words, it’s not at all a surprise how it went down. Georgia and AZ were the big surprises.
I make it that all the state were following their rules.
The mail in votes were cast on time in every state. Make of it what you will.
Pennsylvania didn't. They weren't supposed to count votes that came in after Nov. 3, per the Pennsylvania legislation. The Court ruled it was OK. Even though election rules are determined by the legislature.
Many instances in Atlanta of election monitors being blocked.
You have to be blind not to draw the obvious conclusion.
Biden was ahead in the polls in Florida and Ohio. They were 'true swing states'.
Yet fraud is never brought in court by trump's lackeys.
You have to be an idiot to not draw the obvious conclusion.
I will give you a hint, no one wants to put their license on the line by lying to a judge. Lying to the American people is totally different though.
Your stupidity and blind faith in everything trump is the only thing that doesn't make sense.
Go bed, little boy. You're obviously up way past your bedtime.
Dealing with the insane rantings of a senile old man can be tiring. Maybe you should get back on your meds.
By the way, correct English is "go to bed", unless you are trying to be Tarzan.
Come on, Ohio and Florida have had republican governors and senators for years. The other swing states all have democratic governors. Can a democrat even win a statewide election in Ohio or Florida?
'Ohio has taken a different turn': Ohio no longer appears to be a swing state
Ohio is an overwhelmingly white working-class state, and the Appalachian parts are even further right than they were four years ago, one analyst said.
www.nbcnews.com
"I think that Ohio really isn't a representative of the whole country the way that it once was," said Mark Caleb Smith, a professor of political science at Cedarville University in Ohio.
"Ohio now is a much more red state than it is a purple state," Smith said. "If you look at recent elections, statewide, presidential or gubernatorial, Republicans have done extremely well. I just think that means Ohio has taken a different turn. I think Ohio has shifted a little bit, and it's no longer that middle part of the country — it's probably a little more on the right, traditional, conservative side."
Looking at recent articles, Floridians still consider it a swing state and I guess since Trump won by just 3.3% they might be right, but they currently have a Republican governor and both Senators are Republicans, so they seem pretty RED to me. Oh, and Trump won Ohio by 8%, so they're definitely not trending the swing state category.
Not surprised you seem to know your way around a porn site.
Easy to say after the fact. All the more reason to suspect states that delayed counting their mail-in ballots.'Ohio has taken a different turn': Ohio no longer appears to be a swing state

They need to put this to bed.

Except as has been noted in numerous other threads,it was the GOP (and Trump in particular) who were determined to count mail votes last in each of those states. Can't have a "red mirage" to confuse folks if the mail votes are counted first and the Dems have an insurmountable lead on election night... From Sept 2020...
"A top Democratic data and analytics firm told "Axios on HBO" it's highly likely that President Trump will appear to have won — potentially in a landslide — on election night, even if he ultimately loses when all the votes are counted.
Why this matters: Way more Democrats will vote by mail than Republicans, due to fears of the coronavirus, and it will take days if not weeks to tally these. This means Trump, thanks to Republicans doing almost all of their voting in person, could hold big electoral college and popular vote leads on election night.
- Imagine America, with its polarization and misinformation, if the vote tally swings wildly toward Joe Biden and Trump loses days later as the mail ballots are counted.
- That is what this group, Hawkfish, which is funded by Michael Bloomberg and also does work for the Democratic National Committee and pro-Biden Super PACs, is warning is a very real, if not foreordained, outcome.
- "We are sounding an alarm and saying that this is a very real possibility, that the data is going to show on election night an incredible victory for Donald Trump," he said.
- "When every legitimate vote is tallied and we get to that final day, which will be some day after Election Day, it will in fact show that what happened on election night was exactly that, a mirage," Mendelsohn said. "It looked like Donald Trump was in the lead and he fundamentally was not when every ballot gets counted."
Exclusive: Bloomberg group warns Trump will appear to win big on election night
Way more Democrats will vote by mail than Republicans given partisan differences about fears of the coronavirus.

The Dems were very good and had an excellent legal team in place anticipating most of Trump's tricks. But even they could not fathom the degree of his raw power grab and his determination to resist to the point where he actually incited a movement to "storm the Capitol"...
New video shows Trump rally crowd cheering call to 'storm the Capitol'
In footage published by JustSecurity.org Monday, some of the then president's supporters in the crowd could be heard shouting "storm the Capitol" and "invade the Capitol building" as he spoke.
NYT has a pretty good interactive map that shows the shift from 2016.

This thread was before the Dems won both runoff Senate races in Georgia.
These two victories which followed the Capitol raid turned the Senate election from a lemon to a lemonade for the Dems.

His passing will trigger a Louisiana Rules Top Two special election for TX-06...R+9 but increasingly competitive.
