It's the magic of mail-in ballots. Forged ballots are matched to people who didn't vote who are on the voter rolls. It's done late at night/early morning. This is why they want garbage voter rolls and will resist all efforts to clean them up.
If you go to bed on election night and don't know who won a midterm congressional race, that's normal. And if you wake up the next morning and find that a candidate who was behind hours earlier has since pulled ahead, that's normal, too. (via @PolitiFact) to.pbs.org/4zqnWBa

I want to stress that this is early voting only, not a projection of the final result. Texas Early Voting as of 10/30: 🔵Dems - 40.39% ⚪️Swing - 22.59% 🔴GOP - 37.03% >🔵D+3.36% On this day in 2024: 🔵Dems - 35.75% ⚪️Swing - 23.55% 🔴GOP - 40.69% >🔴R+4.94% On this day in 2022: 🔵Dems - 38.68% ⚪️Swing - 15.96% 🔴GOP - 45.36% >🔴R+6.68% On this day in 2020: 🔵Dems - 38.44% ⚪️Swing - 21.52% 🔴GOP - 40.04% >🔴R+1.59% On this day in 2018: 🔵Dems - 40.57% ⚪️Swing - 15.29% 🔴GOP - 44.14% >🔴R+3.57% "But wait, Trump ultimately did far better in 2024 than he did in 2020 or even compared to Abbott in 2022!" Yes he did. His landslide victory was driven by swing voters who broke overwhelmingly for him. And fortunately for us, we have the benefit of hindsight as to how swing voters broke in the past. How Swing Voters Broke in 2024 🔴 GOP - 67.78% 🔵 Dems - 32.22% >🔴R+35.56!!! How Swing Voters Broke in 2022 🔴 GOP - 56.08% 🔵 Dems - 43.92% >🔴R+12.17 How Swing Voters Broke in 2020 🔴 GOP - 54.08% 🔵 Dems - 45.92% >🔴R+8.16 How Swing Voters Broke in 2018 🔴 GOP - 47.31% 🔵 Dems - 52.69% >🔵D+5.39 This is why Texas now looks competitive this cycle. Trump crushed Harris with swing voters in 2024, and those voters are now necessarily dedicated Republicans. They're GOP-leaning (remember, Texas is a Red state!), but if they really sour on the GOP, they can end up producing mediocre margins for the Republican nominee, or even occasionally desert him as they did narrowly against Cruz in 2018. This means that if Paxton does as poorly with swing voters as Cruz did in 2018, or even as poorly as Trump did in 2020, he's cooked and the polls will end up off in favor of the Democrats. Talarico will win by something like 1.5-4.5 points. But if Paxton matches Abbott's performance with swing voters, it becomes a 50/50 toss-up where Talarico leads by 0.6%, but that could easily be overcome with election-day voters. And if Paxton somehow matched even Cruz's coattails in 2024, when he won swing voters by 19 points off the back of Trump's victory, he wins by just over 1% (likely more like 1.5-2%, as election day will help him out too). This is why the polls and betting markets give Talarico the lead right now. Paxton can win, but he must overcome a historical early-voting deficit that neither Trump in 2020 nor Cruz in 2018 faced, and win swing voters by a margin that at least approaches Greg Abbott's performance in 2022.
would still love to see it

Senators serve a longer term in office than anyone in the Federal government aside from a judge or a bureaucrat. When you elect one, you give them a 6-year mandate to do whatever they want, with no realistic way to remove them from office. The Senatorial class being elected this year will serve through the 2028 Presidential election, and they'll also be in office through the 2032 election. Anyone even remotely on the Right in Texas who has been contemplating sitting this one out needs to think very carefully about whether they want someone like James Talarico to be casting votes in the Senate for 6 years. Whatever macro factors are propelling his campaign today will be gone in a year or two at most. He will be free to continue casting votes however he wants. Even if he thinks he'll lose in 2032, it won't matter because he could use the Senate seat to launch his own Presidential bid rather than run for re-election. Inaction today could be the thing that allows Talarico to become President of the United States tomorrow.

If you listen carefully it’s a misplaced anger at his own parents for not making him feel worthy that turned into raging jealousy of other children who had parents that lifted them up and poured into them. He’s projected all of that onto white people. He needs to mend his heart before thinking about running for any office. White ppl haven’t hurt him. He knows exactly who did. Notice how he doesn’t get the satisfaction he was craving when the interviewer simply anchors himself & doesn’t validate that experience. We should all do more of this. Don’t validate anyone’s experience for the sake of temporary bonding.

This was a fraud perpetrated against the people of Alaska. Under no circumstances should Mary Peltola be seated if she wins an election in a fraudulent manner.
EXCLUSIVE: Daniel J. Sullivan left his Alaska hometown days before reports about his ties to Peltola's campaign, sources say. cbsn.ws/4itY4x4

Little man syndrome; Abdul has no idea what he's talking about. Proud to say, as Pete's dad, he was an absolute star on the court in HS. Captain, all-conference, all-state player...earned! We parents cheered him on, yes. That's what families do-support each other. #Envy makes him bitter.

One known unknown about this election is that anecdotally there is a sense that the electorate may be reverting to the pre-covid pattern with regard to early voting. I’m noticing more mixed-propensity voters (2/4s and 3/4s) who say they are definitely planning to vote but are waiting until Election Day to do it.

This is interesting because Youngkin was still Governor in 2025 and had a statewide organization, as did AG Jason Miyares. So either his and Miyares’ operations had no impact whatsoever on 2025 turnout, or Virginia Republicans are now organically turning out as strongly as they previously did when millions were being spent to encourage them to.
Friday was not a good day for EV for VA Democrats. The EV is still just 0.7% bluer than 2025. VA-1's EV is now 0.1% redder than 2025. Today is now or never for them. Satellite Saturday is one of the biggest days of EV. projects.statenavigate.com/i…

Excited to vote in California because we’ve been punishing the republicans for so long here for being insufficiently based that the democrats have permanently fortified the elections to the point where not a single conservative measure has the slightest chance of passing ever again.

This is why the generic ballot suggests a generational wipeout on Tuesday. The US has never truly recovered from the 2021/2022 inflation wave. Rate hikes brought it down to 3-4%, but we never got close to the 2% Fed target, and inflation has only gotten worse over the last year. The general public is deeply pessimistic about the state of the real economy, even as the S&P 500 and NASDAQ continue to hold up quite well. People are hurting, and they're turning to the Democrats in 2026 for the same reason they turned towards the GOP in 2024. The problem, of course, is that Democrats have absolutely zero intention of making anyone's lives better aside from criminals, mentally ill degenerates, third world immigrants, and USAID grifters living in Northern Virginia who have been out of a job since DOGE. A lot of normies are either staying home or voting Democrat in the naive belief that doing so will somehow help their personal situation, when in reality it's just laying the groundwork for Woke 2.
Americans have never been this pessimistic about their finances: A record 41% of US consumers expect their financial situation to be worse over the next 12 months. This figure has more than tripled since Q2 2024. By comparison, during the 2008 Financial Crisis, this metric peaked at 23%. This proportion is also significantly higher than in the 1970s and the 1980s, when CPI inflation was above 10%. Furthermore, 31% of US consumers believe their personal financial situation will be worse in 5 years, double the proportion seen in the 1980s. Americans feel as though we are in a recession.
