Iowa Officials Certify Miller-Meeks' Victory, Marking Republicans' Fourteenth Congressional Flip
2020-12-01
[Townhall] After weeks of vote counting, including a full recount, GOP candidate Dr. Mariannette Miller-Meeks was officially declared Congresswoman-elect in Iowa’s second congressional district. The seat was held by Democrats comfortably for nearly two decades, and Dr. Miller-Meeks clinched victory by just six votes.

#7  Trump had huge coattails in 2020. He helped elect many people to Congress and in State legislatures across the country. How in the heck was this Presidential election not rigged bigly against Trump?

What are the odds that a presidential candidate:

..has huge coattails but loses to a guy who didn't even campaign at all and whose volunteers did not knock on doors? = improbable, maybe 1 in 5 odds

..carries Ohio by 8 points - and loses both Pennsylvania and Michigan? = Prob'y less than 1 in 10

..carries every bellwether county in the country ... and still loses the election? = Prob'y 1 in 100

What are the chances of all the above happening without fraud? 1 in 5,000

#5  Iowa is a place with a long history of self identifying as being 'not Illinois'.

to a lot of Iowan, honest elections are as important as winning elections and they do not have crime gangs that run their cities

#4   Bad News for Progressives: It's Still a Conservative Country.

Tell me about this. Trump had huge coattails in 2020. He helped elect many people to Congress and in State legislatures across the country. It seems to me to beg the question": "How in the heck was this Presidential election not rigged bigly against Trump?"

#3  I'm surprised the Dems didn't find a cemetery who hadn't voted yet.

#2  Nice, but if the GOP doesn't hold the Senate, it will just hasten the demise of the Republic.

#1  Took them nearly 20 years to decide that voting for democrats might not be the way to go, but only by six votes.

Perhaps you can draw your own conclusions.
