AZ-Democrat Kyrsten Sinema Wins Battle to Replace Sen. Jeff Flake

[Swordsmyth]

It's like that across the country. Some variation of:

"Let's pick a republican governor but a democrat house member but a republican senator."

No one is scrutinizing these oddities because no one seems to want to be the one to find the turd in the punch bowl.

I only see one solution, and it will never pass:

remove secret ballots. Remove the guesswork. I understand the reason why ballots became secret over the years, but it wasn't always that way. At the start, voting in this country was very public and there was a hell of a lot more transparency than there is today. Yeah you had corruption with vote buying. We have that today, only it's harder to trace.

I don't know what the best solution is but one of the main reasons for the secret ballot was to prevent retaliation and it is becoming ever more popular to destroy people's lives over politics these days.

Probably a combination of voter fraud and NeverTrumpers trying to virtue signal.

Ducey campaigned with Trump too, though. McSally was a former Bushie who marketed herself as a reformed "Trump Republican". If there was any anger toward her, I would wager it was because of her past, not because of her supposedly Trumpian present.

True, but NeverTrumpers want the Demoncrats to take control of Congress in order to block or impeach him.

McSally was a war hawk, and pushed for massively increased military spending. I won't miss her.

Don't you dare to talk bad about Sinema, otherwise she might make her personal witches put a spell on you! This is NOT from the Onion:

Later that year, in November, Sinema attended a similar anti-war rally

There you go, the glass is half full...

Dammit I wish Bush jr had had this much"resistance. Where were the libatards back then?

So thousands and thousands of Republicans in Maricopa County voted for a Republican for Governor, but then turned around and voted Democrat for Senate? What sense does that make? This is very fishy. Either there are some shenanigans going on or McCain really castrated the Arizona GOP worse than I ever imagined.

Which is it? it seems right now the consensus here is that she lost because she wasn't pro Trump enough.

She wasn't anything enough, whether or not there was election fraud it was only close enough for fraud to work because she gave nobody a reason to vote for her.

I read an article earlier that said almost all of her ads were attacking Sinema without giving any reason to vote for McSally.

Studies show that contrast ads are the most effective and pure attack ads are the least effective with self-promotion ads coming in somewhere inbetween.

I feel the same way about contrast ads cos it gives the pol to promote his policies while criticizing his/her opponents. But to the point I was trying to make, it seems like she just lost the race as opposed to some nefarious plotting by the dems.

Senator Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) kept quite during the 2018 midterm elections regarding any possible endorsements. Now, the Republican senator is congratulating his Democrat successor, saying she’ll “do great,” even after weeks of controversial statements by Kyrsten Sinema.

Sinema received a lot of backlash after videos and an interview resurfaced showing the candidate bashing her own state.
The newly-elected Democrat senator called Arizona the warning state for the rest of the U.S., “the meth lab of democracy,” as well as calling Arizonians “crazy,” and sharing her support for Americans to go to fight for the Taliban.
However, despite the now-senator’s controversial remarks, Flake congratulated Sinema after the tight race against Republican candidate Martha McSally.
“Congratulations to @kyrstensinema on a race well run, and won. It’s been a wonderful honor representing Arizona in the Senate. You’ll be great,” he wrote.

Flake is a Demoncrat in Swampublican clothing.

LOL

Flake had proven he was a RINO long ago, now he is becoming a Demoncrat.

This leaves two Senate seats still undecided. Mississippi is headed for a run-off election on November 27th (no candidate got over 50%- there were seven of them- the top two now will face off) and Florida is being recounted. If Democrats get both of those, the Senate will be the same as before the election- 51 Republicans, two independents (who tend to vote with the Democrats) and 47 Democrats.

Mississippi is a lock for the Republicans and the voter fraud in Fl. will fail.

There may yet be an expanded voter fraud investigation that will rectify other races as well.

Not by a long shot anymore.

I don't buy it, the "Blue Trickle" has run its course and the two Republicans got more than 50% by a comfortable margin.

In the last major race of the midterm campaign, Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith claimed victory in Mississippi’s closely watched Senate runoff election, defeating Democrat Mike Espy
