Hobbs did run a pretty bad campaign but it seems her strategy was to just let Lake do all of the talking because she’s a nutjob who just hurts herself anytime she opens her mouth. 
 

If you are talking politics on a sports forum, you are far, far, more tuned in than ~90% of voters. I’d suggest you look into how the normies felt about things before going with terminal-very-online-brain theories. 

Yep, she roped that dope. A ballsy move to keep your mouth shut given how close it was projected to be (and was).  That discipline served her well.

I'm still not sure it was the optimal strategy given that she lagged Mark Kelly by a bit, but I suppose if your opponent is spending the closing days of the election trashing John McCain in freaking Arizona, the best move might be to just keep the spotlight on them and the mic in their hand.

And again....sending out mail in ballots to everyone on the voter rolls isn't normal no matter how often you repeat it.

 

 

For the past two elections, Nevada sent mail ballots to all registered voters, unless they opted out. That means around 1.8 million ballots went out. Well more than 1 million won’t be returned. Previously, a voter could request an absentee ballot for any reason. That’s more secure because ballots went only to those wanting to vote by mail.

So … about 45 percent “won’t be returned.” How does that fit with the narrative that sneaky cheaters are “harvesting” all those mailed-out ballots, filling them out for Democrats, and then dropping them in drop-off boxes?

Again...this is all normal. Stop asking questions....chigoose is running out of twists for his pretzel.

I am so flattered that you can't stop thinking about me, but I keep telling you that I'm happily married.

 

Also, this has a very simple explanation that eludes you because you're too much in your feelings to look at facts.

The right loves this guy.  I'd bet most conservatives on this board are mostly with him but are too embarrassed to admit it.

As you all know I'm very much a Conservative and I really know nothing about him other than he makes pillows.

You know that this is how it's been in the US for decades, right?

 

Even what I consider to probably be the gold standard for election administration, Florida, is still counting votes:

 

 

There are problems with some state's election laws, but the fact that we are still counting is actually the norm.

 

What is different is that there is a large swath of Americans who are apparently gullible as hell and react emotionally to headlines and random posts instead of looking up the facts. Prior to 2020, that didn't happen as much.

[BillsFanNC]

Yup.

Yes, there are problems.  And this hasn't been the norm until two years ago.  On some level, everyone should sense that what has been happening isn't right. 

Maybe the nation should model elections after Florida.  Yes, I know, it was a landslide victory, easy to call, but they set up the process to be much more effective and at the same time, eliminating the problem of ballot harvesting.  You can't honestly believe that the methods implemented two years ago aren't the root cause of what we are witnessing. 

You're trying to blame people. even though its the process that has changed.  Razor thin margins, dems always coming from behind late in the process, down ballot republicans getting more votes than governors and senators, and in the states where it matters most.  The fact that you cant even see it as a possibility in spite of the recent anomalies and irregularities suggest you may not be as tuned in as you think you are.

Sorry, but gullible and emotional have long been claimed by the left.  I suppose you might disagree with that too.

1. Counting all of the votes has not happened on Election Day in modern history. It has always taken days to weeks. 
 

2. Florida is still counting. The only reason it’s not in the news is because the races weren’t close.

 

3. The reason the red mirage is a new thing is that the GOP has traditionally used mail in voting so there wasn’t a big partisan divide on methods of voting. It wasn’t until Trump denouncing mail in ballots under a false theory of fraud that there became such a partisan gap between Election Day voting and voting by mail. That’s why it seems recent, but given the facts, you would expect the Election Day vote to be redder and the mail in vote to be bluer. 
 

This isn’t hard! It’s just basic election administration 101! None of this is surprising to anyone who has been paying attention. 
 

I’m sorry if the facts don’t care about your feelings, but they’re still the facts, no matter how inconvenient they may be to your emotions.
