dailycaller.com/2018/11/07/maryland-gerrymander-6th-district/FEDERAL COURT FINDS DEMOCRATS UNLAWFULLY GERRYMANDERED A MARYLAND CONGRESSIONAL SEAT A three-judge panel ruled Wednesday that Maryland officials violated the Constitution when they redrew the boundaries of the state’s 6th Congressional District to favor Democrats. The unanimous decision requires state officials to draw new district lines for the 6th and 8th Districts by the 2020 election. “With this unanimous ruling, the federal court is confirming what we in Maryland have known for a long time — that we have the most gerrymandered districts in the country, they were drawn this way for partisan reasons, and they violate Marylanders’ constitutional rights,” said GOP Gov. Larry Hogan, fresh off a convincing victory in his bid for a second term. An earlier iteration of the case reached the U.S. Supreme Court on March 28, as the justices weighed several other constitutional challenges to partisan gerrymandering. Ultimately, the high court was unable to resolve those weighty questions, and returned the cases to lower courts for further proceedings of procedural and jurisdictional grounds. The 6th District encompasses the western, conservative stretches of Maryland, then runs south to encompass the Washington, D.C., suburbs. After the 2010 census, Maryland Democrats recalibrated the district to fold in tens of thousands of D.C. area voters in a bid to oust former GOP Rep. Roscoe Bartlett, the longtime incumbent. The gambit worked — Bartlett lost the race by 20 points, having held the seat without serious opposition since 1992. A coalition of Republican voters challenged the district lines, arguing they were drawn to punish west Maryland voters for the historic support of GOP candidates. That sort of retaliation, they argued, is forbidden by the First Amendment. (RELATED: Trump Administration Returns To Supreme Court Seeking End To DACA) Judge Paul Niemeyer agreed. Writing the primary opinion for the three-judge panel, Niemeyer explained the state had violated their rights of representation and free association, noting the case’s record “is replete with direct evidence of this precise purpose.” Judge James Bredar wrote separately to call partisan gerrymandering “noxious, a cancer on our democracy.” Courts do permit some degree of partisanship during the redistricting process, but the question of when politicization becomes excessive, how undue partisanship is identified, and what, if anything, courts should do about it has divided judges across the country. An appeal of Wednesday’s ruling would proceed directly to the Supreme Court, should Maryland Attorney General Brian Frosh, a Democrat, contest the decision.

He was not a good candidate.
And Oklahoma County, especially the downtown districts, are blue now.
We have a growing contingent of tax and spend Dems, and expect govt to give them free shit.
Not a good candidate? He was good enough to have trounced his Democratic challenger by over 20% in each of his first two elections, one of which was only 2 years ago. The PVI is R+10. Republicans have held the seat since 1975. The demographics of District 5 have not changed that much in only 2 years. He must have done something to piss off his Republican support, or to invigorate the Dems to get out and vote against him.

Russell took the high ground and lost, he ran no negative ads, he had no supporters getting in the face of Horn. Maybe he wanted no part of what politics has become, if so, I can't blame him

Florida's current Governor, Attorney General, and Secretary of State are Republicans. Certainly they can get someone down there to put a stop to this nonsense, right? If the law says that the votes must be in within 30 minutes, then how can they legally count these new "votes"?

Ever notice how it’s always Democrats who find extra ballots/votes way after the polls close? www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/nov/8/kyrsten-sinema-takes-lead-arizona-senate-race/Democratic candidate Kyrsten Sinema took the lead in the Arizona Senate race in new numbers released by the state Thursday night, flipping the race from what had appeared to be a GOP hold. Republican Martha McSally led the vote after the polls closed Tuesday, but hundreds of thousands of ballots were still uncounted, officials said. As the count comes in, Ms. Sinema has overcome a sizable gap. The latest numbers give her 914,243 votes to Ms. McSally’s 912,137. Earlier in the day the tally had stood at 856,848 for Ms. McSally and 839,775 for Ms. Sinema. |

www.breitbart.com/politics/2018/11/08/marc-elias-lawyer-tied-to-clinton-campaign-pee-dossier-leads-dems-florida-recount-efforts/Marc Elias, the attorney who infamously retained Fusion GPS to produce the largely discredited anti-Trump dossier on behalf of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, has been retained to represent Sen. Bill Nelson’s recount efforts in Florida.The Florida Senate race is likely headed to a recount after late reporting from Broward County lowered Gov. Rick Scott’s lead to about 17,000 votes, meaning the election is within the .25% margin necessary to require a hand recount. The race has already reached the 0.5 percent threshold to require a machine recount. In a conference call with reporters, Elias claimed that optical-scan machines may not have registered ballots that were poorly marked, and he contended that Nelson would emerge victorious from a recount, which has not yet been officially authorized. “We believe that at the end of this process, Sen. Nelson is going to be declared the winner,” Elias said. Elias added: “We’re doing this not just because it’s automatic, but we’re doing it to win. A significant number of ballots have not yet been counted and, because of the size of Florida, we believe the results of the election are unknown and require a recount.” Elias is widely considered one of the most powerful attorneys associated with the Democratic Party. He is chair of the Political Law Group at the Perkins Coie law firm. Elias represented Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign as well as the Democratic National Committee. He was brought in by Nelson’s campaign to oversee official recount efforts. Last year, the Washington Post reported that in April 2016, Elias and his law firm Perkins Coie retained Fusion GPS to conduct the firm’s anti-Trump work on behalf of both Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and the DNC. The work resulted in the publication of the dossier authored by former British spy Christopher Steele. Through Perkins Coie, Clinton’s campaign and the DNC continued to fund Fusion GPS until October 2016, days before Election Day, the Post reported. While it is not clear how much the Clinton campaign or the DNC paid Fusion GPS, the UK Independent, citing campaign finance records, reported that the Clinton campaign doled out $5.6 million to Perkins Coie from June 2015 to December 2016. Records show that since November 2015, the DNC paid the law firm $3.6 million in “legal and compliance consulting.”

Via Rick Scott:
** In Palm Beach County they have discovered 15,000 new ballots after election day!
** There may be rapid fraud happening in Palm Beach and Broward Counties.
** Palm Beach County is refusing to provide information to the public.
** Palm Beach County is illegally refusing to allow party representatives into the ballot counting area and forcing to make people stand behind a glass wall.

You mad. lol, why would I be mad? We have the executive branch, the upper chamber of the legislative branch, and the judicial branch locked down. Compared to where we were the last decade or so, we are killing it. Not to mention, Trump is out there exposing liberals daily, and teaching the rest of the pubs how to win, with the destruction of the "blue wave" as its result. This truly is the best timeline!!  |

Actually, the left and their media sycophants are the ones upset. To go from preaching and screaming about a “Blue Wave” for over a year and telling everyone what they will do once they are in charge of Congress, to actually producing a “Blue trickle” by barely winning the majority to win the House and the Republicans gaining more seats in the Senate,(which defies midterm election history & essentially RINO proofs the Senate), one could understand. Factor in Also the Republicans who lost their seats were anti Trump RINOs and it makes it better. Basically the voters gave the Democrats two years to prove themselves. If they work together with Trump on his agenda, they will be rewarded, if they obstruct, etc, then they will pay a heavy price in 2020. |

How does that happen? Only dem votes? Really?#StopTheSteal@realDonaldTrump @potus 2,075 9:54 PM - Nov 8, 2018 A Gallop Poll that was reportedly correct since 1946 predicted Republicans to win the House. This year, after 80 years of being spot on, it is suddenly incorrect?: ✔ @williamjordann Fascinating though: Democrats lead 54-43 on the generic ballot, and yet by 50-44 Americans expect Republicans to retain control of the House. This prediction has correctly lined up with the outcome every time Gallup has asked it going back to 1946. (Though that skips quite a few) pic.twitter.com/nllK4zE6ln 119 9:22 AM - Nov 6, 2018  |
