House GOP Barely Holds the House After California Wipe-Out

Thanks to ballot harvesting, mail-in ballots, and slow vote counting for three weeks after an election, we have the slimmest majority in the House in 90 years. If Republicans lose one more seat, they will never get a bill out of the House. Democrats will not negotiate. It’s their way or nothing. Republicans either have the numbers, or they lose.

Republicans lost their final seat when Derek Tran ousted incumbent Michelle Steel after three weeks of counting and collecting suspicious ballots in Orange County. Tran was declared the winner the day before Thanksgiving. California’s ballot harvesting, thanks to Nancy Pelosi’s daughter and her friends helping out, also cost incumbent John Duarte his seat.

It’s not only ballot harvesting practices that put a question mark on the California elections. It’s the slow counting. That’s what they do in third world countries to win elections. New votes keep turning up – for three weeks in this case.

We now have the slimmest of margins in the House. They can’t lose even one vote.

CNN’s Harry Enten, a senior data analyst, said it could be the slimmest margin of victory in nearly a century.

The final count is 220 Republicans to 215 Democrats. Three important members of Congress are leaving: Elise Stefanik, Mike Walz, and Matt Gaetz, bringing the number temporarily to 217.

Before Jerry Brown signed the ballot harvesting law in 2016, Orange County was solid red. It was signed to give Democrats the edge. Now Orange County is blue.

California sends ballots to everyone, uses motor voters, allows voting anywhere in the county, and allows everyone to vote by mail.

  1. Without going into the obvious fraud in the delayed counting and ballot harvesting, Mike Johnson is partly to blame for this slim majority as was Paul Ryan for losing the majority in 2018 and Mitch McConnel losing the Senate in 2020. If they had done their job as Republican leaders and shown leadership pushing the conservative agenda instead of bootlicking Democrats and passing almost every bit of their agendas then Republicans would have strong majorities. And, yes, I blame wimpy Mike Johnson. Oh, the pansy cried, we don’t have a strong majority. That didn’t stop Nancy Pelosi with a puny majority nor even when Democrats were in the minority. So Mike, either be a leader or follower but get the hell out of President Trump and MAGA movement’s way.
