Honest question...but what good does donating money to a campaign AFTER the votes are submitted?

I believe that the party requesting the recount must pay for the recount.

I believe that the party requesting the recount must pay for the recount.

What's the cost of that?

$100,000 - $500,000 (About 30 cents per ballot, I hear).  Then there's lots of other overhead too (legal fees or whatever).

Pretty giddy that Katie Porter has almost a 4000 vote lead now.

Young Kim only holds a 150 vote lead on Gil Cisneros now. Only just a small BlueBlip though of potentially flipping 40 seats this midterm.

CA 39 has turned blue:

 

[fortune11]

Entire Orange County is now blue ? land of Reagan and Nixon  . Take a bow , Republicans , you accomplished your mission

Mimi Walters made the pathetic desperation move that all trump era  republicans make when they are cornered by Democracy ? screaming voter fraud and trying to raise money off of it.  No doubt there will some MAGA suckers who will fall for it and open their wallets

She will walk away with a golden parachute. The other loyal half of her constituents are pissed. I feel it is justified to have her pack her bags. She really did not represents 45 District with her voting records. And on the way out she tried to collecting more funds for her holidays plan. MAGA will fall for it and will enrich her pockets just as the door swings and hit her behind out of the doors.

Good riddance to Walters. The voters have spoken.

I wonder If CA39 and CA45 turning dem is blue wave enough for some of our repub readers on here.

It sure washed over orange county.


I'll have to say though, that I'll prob vote repub in 2020..maybe even for that shithead trump.  depending on how things work out in the next 2 years.

Policy is more important than party.  GOP just has no real ideas to deal with 21st century issues.

Young Kim and Mimi Walters lost because of Trump.
I told the caller who was asking me to vote for Mimi that I was going to vote full demo to send Trump a message, and she was just collateral damage.

Not really a blue wave... more of a I'm sick of Trump wave.

Midterms are generally a reaction to the president/ruling party.  Many of the people getting kicked out came in in 2010 in reaction to Obama and Obamacare.
