I am convinced they lost fairly here. We have a good SoS who, along with several other Republicans, swept the remainder of the statewide races. The reason I pointed it out is that I believe there were shennanigans in 2020 but I also believe it likely that Trump still loses without them. I also believe that will be quite possible in 2024. As I have said before, I live in what has become a red state. Outside of people whose posts I read on the BBS, while I know plenty of Republicans, I know very few hardcore Trump supporters. While I know some who will ultimately vote for him if it comes down to him vs. Biden, I also know many, many people who will never vote for him (or won't again) even if it means voting for Biden or not at all. They are tired of the drama and frenzy that surround him. I personally believe the Republicans are more likely to win with a candidate that is less of a lightning-rod of their own making. * SLMR 2.1a * DALETECH - for all your home security needs! --- SBBSecho 3.14-Linux * Origin: capitolcityonline.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/HTTP (1:2320/105) .
