Politico: More On The Dem House Disaster
I picked this up from TGP. It's worth thinking about. The disparity--with the GOP picking up House seats in Blue states--suggests both massive fraud in the presidential race as well as a vengeful populace:
House Dems brace for more losses
The House is on track to have its thinnest majority in about two decades next year — and it could get worse for Democrats.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi has so far lost seven incumbents in Tuesday’s election, and that number could increase to about a dozen as more votes are tallied in New York, California and Utah. That would leave Democrats with a razor-thin margin — and an even more emboldened GOP minority — as the party looks to govern under a potential President Joe Biden.
The most likely scenario for Democrats is a net loss of between seven to 11 seats, according to interviews with campaign officials and strategists from both parties. That toll has prompted some tense discussions within the Democratic caucus about its message, tactics and leadership, with an internal race intensifying to succeed Democratic Congressional Campaign Chair Cheri Bustos (D-Ill.). [Who may lose her seat in IL.]
And the fallout means the House is indeed in play in 2022, and the battle will be fought on a whole new set of district lines, most of which will be drawn by Republicans who maintained control of key statehouses.
Presumably Republican controlled states will also police their elections more effectively than has been done in the past. They now know what to expect, if they didn't know before.
