Which states are most likely to stem the blue wave (1/21)

sajidakh said:

I was kickin it around google. It seems like every hard conservative state from WV to Utah has counties turning blue. Texas almost flipped to Biden at one point this election. Florida has a more pleasant showing but still as I recall only went Trump 5%.

Are there anymore states I guess other than Mississippi that are equivalent to the dems NY or California?

Who has the best chance to holdout for a say a 30 year outlook?

I personally don't think the last election has any bearing unless the mail in voting is maintained. This is the sole cover used to allow the Democrats to win.

Or Trump having been a terrible president that the vast majority of people hated...

That probably had nothing to do with him losing the election. He did better than most expected in the end.

I suspect Republicans will do better in the midterms, but they had a decent showing this election considering the boat anchor that was Trump on the ticket. They won pretty much every house seat they held before and even took a few back from Democrats. In Arizona and Georgia they lost those senate seats by not very much (and won seats in purple states they were not expected to likely win). Won't have Trump on the 2022 ticket driving Democrat turn out and possibly fewer Republicans disgusted with their entire party because of Trump support voting against a Republican Congressman or Senator (I know a number of them who voted straight blue because they hate Trump, after being life long Republicans).

That said, Republicans are defending a lot more senate seats in 2022 than in 2020 or 2018. So not a lot of room to pick up seats there. But likely a lot easier to defend them. Though it depends on if Trump just fades away, or if continues to divide the party. The later is probably going to hurt chances in 2022 significantly.

And God willing, by the 2022 mid terms Covid will be under control and no longer an excuse for everything.

There is hope though. The Dems HR1 was looking to codify mail in ballots nationwide. It's already been scuttled and will be broken up into pieces. In addition, 2 Dem Senators (Sinema and Manchin) publicly said they will maintain the filibuster. There's no way the GOP will allow for national mail in ballots.
Although its under the radar, several states are proceeding with TRUE audits of the election. I believe they will pass additional legislation to put the voting back to what it was supposed to be. We have to be wary that if Zuckerberg starts pouring money into some SoS race that we'd better damn well make sure that candidate doesn't win.

Nah you didnt see where they are now claiming Covid can be dormant in the brain for long periods then magically pop up. They are already planning the 22 and 24 covid outbreaks that will coincide with Flu season of course and have to shut the country down around elections time.
