"Republicans perpetrated mid-decade Gerrymandering in hope of Republican electoral advantage.

5 electoral districts redrawn by Republicans?
& Republicans lost 4 of 5 ?" s #87

Clarification:
According to PBS NewsHour Republican's goal was to gain 15 congressional seats by their mid-term Gerrymandering.
Instead, Democrats gained 5, Republicans gained 1.

Also worth noting, the Alaska vote is difficult / slow to tally, so
it may be a week or two before the dust settles on the mid-term elections.

☑️ BUT !
There's reason for doubt Miller can retain the COS slot until the next election.
Trump may not excel at much, but Trump seems top tier in turnover of staff, and wives.

Her opponent only has a razor thin margin but it's still large enough that a recount isn't going to be automatic. That said, it's a given that there are votes yet to be counted .....

You know this S2, but for clarity:
"Best" and "good" are not synonyms.
McConnell may not be a superlative humanitarian,
but at least McConnell has adhered to the old-school standards of personal integrity.
"I think it's time for him [Donald Trump ("R"-NY) Republican 2016 presidential candidate] to look like a serious candidate for president." Majority Leader McConnell (R-KY)

It doesn't unstink the red pooh-pile these Republican air-holes have extruded,
from the white house East wing, to the Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School in Iran.

Topic title: Election 2026

Last Tuesdays cruciphyxiation of the lame elephant has reportedly produced the largest freshman class of house Democrats in a century.
The smoldering crater where the Republican elephant loitered a week ago might seem to end the 2026 mid-terms. BUT !
That's not the end of electoral politics in the U.S.

The 2028 political contest is underway.
The Republicans have their problems.
President Trump insinuated himself into Republican misleadership position, and is not eligible to run for a 4th term.

The former Grand Old Party (GOP) lacks grandeur, has substituted age, too bleak to be considered a party.
The Republican political brand is severely damaged. Damaged beyond repair?

Easier to replace it than repair it?

President Trump is the most domestically malignant U.S. president in history.

The Democrats are relatively feeble, only appearing to be adequate in context of their Republican opposition.

Where do we go from here?

Election Recounts (Who Pays)

In politics, election laws dictate who pays for a recount based on the margin of victory: [1]
  • When the government pays: If the margin between candidates is less than a specific statutory threshold (e.g., 0.5% in some jurisdictions, or an absolute tie), it usually triggers an automatic recount funded entirely by taxpayers. [1, 2]
  • When the government won't pay: If the victory margin is greater than the automatic threshold but still within a requestable limit (like under 10% in Texas), the losing candidate can still demand a recount, but they must pay for it out of pocket. [1]
