Day 3 of counting
Welcome to day three and counting of Tuesday's midterm elections. America not only has a banana republic-style politicized justice department, now we have a Third World ballot counting operation, too.
As of this writing early on Thursday morning, the Senate stands at 48 Democrats and 49 Republicans, with the Georgia race between Warnock and Walker apparently headed for a run-off. Walker is favored if Republicans turn out and he can get the votes that went to the Libertarian candidate. The House stands at 184 Democrats and 207 Republicans with 218 needed for a majority. The Republicans are still favored to take the House, but only by a slim margin.
If that happens, I hope their leaders won’t be bamboozled by the Dems and their media sycophants into thinking that with such a narrow majority, they have to compromise and share power. Instead, they should ask themselves, “WWPD: What would Pelosi do?” Then proceed accordingly.
Since yesterday, one of the more satisfying D-to-R flips in the House came in New York’s 17th House District where Mike Lawler defeated Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, who was the chairman of the powerful Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. It’s the first time in decades that the chair of that committee from either party has lost a race for reelection.

Otherwise, we wait, and wait, which I assure you youngsters never used to be the situation back before we had technology that was supposed to make this process faster.
Why it was more of a ripple than a wave...
Robert Spencer at PJ Media reports that CNN exit polls show there would have been a red wave, but it was blunted by a turnout of voters aged 18-29 who voted for Democrats by 64%.
Or as Spencer puts it, “The voting group with the least life experience and the most recent subjection to the Leftist indoctrination that dominates America’s educational system ended up voting as it was brainwashed to do.”
It’s a further argument for the urgency of Republicans paying more attention to cultural outlets like social media that young people follow and GOP legislatures rooting leftism out of schools. Why do red state leaders continue letting their public schools and universities act as radical left indoctrination centers? They control the purse strings, and they could force them to return free speech and ideological balance to campuses, but they don’t act on it.
Example: why do 99% of political donations by professors at the top four universities in Ohio, where J.D. Vance just scored a decisive victory, go to Democrats? That doesn’t sound like “diversity” to me.

What you can accomplish when you fire the right people
Of course, not every state takes weeks to count ballots. Florida was razzed over its “hanging chads” for years until Ron DeSantis became Governor. He told Fox News that one of his first acts was to fire the people responsible and overhaul the elections system. Florida somehow managed to count over seven million ballots in less than two hours. That’s a good lesson in what can be accomplished if you fire the right people.
