The entire country is waiting for Nevada and Arizona to finish counting votes to see who will control the U.S. Senate. At the momment Republicans have 49 Senate seats and Democrats have 48. The 3 states left are Nevada, Arizona, and Georgia. Georgia will have a runofff vote 1 month from now because neither candidate gained over 50% of the vote, the difference in the runoff is that only 2 candidates will be on the ticket instead of 3.
There is no good reason why Arizona and Nevada should be taking this long to count votes. They claim to be counting "mail in votes" while this hasn't been a problem for the other 48 states.
As shown below, Nevada has counted 83% of the votes and 88% of votes from Clark County. Over 75% of the Nevada population live in Clark Country, and like most cites it usually leans Democrat. When 100% of the Clark County votes are in we will likely know who the winner of Nevada will be.
The current margin is Clark County is closer than it was in 2020.
Arizona has a similar situation taking place. Maricopa County consists of more than 60% of the Ariona population, but it is often very close.
This is an image of the Maricopa County results rom the 2020 election. Biden only recieved 50% of the vote compared to Kelly's 53%.
Biden still "won" Arizona by a small margin, so the point I''m trying to highlight is that the winner of Maricopa county is often the winner of the election. Which is why it is very concerning that Maricopa was having ballot counting issues on election day and that of all people Bill Gates came out and said not to worry, that they resolved the issue. According to the Fox article I read, Bill Gates is on the board of the county. Which seems very random until you realize how important this county is for electing political leaders.
It is very clear that we need a better way to count votes. My opinion is that Blockchain technology will be the best way to do this in the future.
I truly wondered throughout the year whether or nor Republicans were trying to lose the Midterms on purpose because of how badly they were handling the perfect situation they were given. People were outraged about inflation, crime, the stock market, Ukraine, and education.
All the Republicans needed to do was talk about how they were going to work to improve those situations, and be the anti extremism party. But instead they went totally extreme in their own direction. Its absurd that they thought the abortion thing was going to help them gain votes.
They should have done nothing except talk about inflation and how they would fix it. But instead, they went after abortion rights, anti student loan forgiveness, and dipshit Clarrance Thomas started talking about looking into reforming gay marriage rights.
Peolple don't want this bible thumping bullshit, they want moderate leadership that will leave them alone while improving their lives.
With the growth of major cities, I'm projecting that aside from Ron Desantis the Republican Party is dead. If you're scared of what the Democrats are doing, your best hope is to support this cause to create an equal oppurtunity for 3rd party candidates to compete.
