The one thing I really should quit doing is assuming Democrats aren't stupid.
I really thought they would have enough sense to hold their fire and not be so obvious with the cheating, since they didn't need it.
But nope. They just did it anyway using statistical improbable (borderling on impossible) scenario. Making it obvious that they are cheating.
Maybe they can do this without consequence, but they just exposed themselves to high risk that they didn't need to.
For no gain, since they were going to get a Bass win anyway.
To be clear, for the outcome that occurred to happen with votes that were all cast before election day, with no knowledge of the election day totals, had a probability of less than 1%. What drove the percentage particularly low is how few votes Bass is getting with the mailin votes "returned on election day"
However, if you know exactly how many votes are needed, then the "results" are what you need to move Raman to 2nd place.
You have to be some kind of special stupid to believe this wasn't stolen.
And they've been doing this for many years in CA. But this is so blatant that it introduces risk to their machine. And it was a risk they didn't need to take.
Dumb.
@Twopointoh14@sethjlevy Put another way, Dems need to hold all 4 tossups that they currently have plus win 11 seats currently held by Republicans.
In a D+2 (at best) year.
@catturd2 True story...
My very bright son didn't want to go to college, even though he could easily have gotten a computer science degree.
He decided to become a plumber.
One summer spent in Florida attics and suddenly he decided getting back into IT was a good idea π
@DefiantLs Amazing how they all forget that 72% of them voted for him 2 weeks prior.
There was nothing new that came out during that 2 weeks that we all didn't already know.
@earlyvotedata Whatley just finished visiting all 100 counties. I think he is well known in the state.
His campaign to this point has been a retail one, rather than media.
@SuitablePolitic Interesting to me is this puts massive pressure on the GCC to get on board for neutering Iran as fast as possible.
The US cover comes at a price.
I assume that if you transit without US protection it is probably free.
@sethjlevy@SuitablePolitic I'm torn on which way I want this to go.
Iran publicly bends the knee.

The long awaited bridges and power plant day
