California is known for its earthquakes. The possibility of the proverbial “Big One” is talked about frequently. And at some time in the future, the likelihood exists that the Big One will hit somewhere in California.
An earthquake happened on Tuesday. However, it was not the earth moving. It was a political earthquake. In a special election in House district CA25, a Republican appears to have defeated a Democrat. This is a district that went by 9 points to the Democrat in 2018 and was won by Hillary Clinton in 2016. At this point the Republican is winning by 12 points (roughly 17,000 votes). Of course, we have to wait until the voter fraud activities (aka ballot harvesting) by the Democrats are over. Apparently they have until Friday to get ballots in to be counted. That is just crazy.
Such a significant lead should be hard to overcome even with illegals riding up and down the streets trying to find “missing” ballots. Assuming the lead stands, former Navy fighter pilot Mike Garcia, a Republican endorsed by PDJT, will have the biggest upset win in California politics in a long time.
There’s reason to think the tyrannies of state and county officials over the coronavirus pandemic, supposedly temporary, but in reality extending, had something to do with this. Apparently voters in CA25 did not want the dysfunction of California state politics to be sent to Washington.
As Monica Showalter noted,
If the ballot-harvesters don’t manage to reverse this result, though, it’s not a small deal; it’s a big one, proof that California may not be as blue as the pundits claim it is and, with the factors cited, likely to see some repeats in some of these other historically red districts that have fallen to ballot-harvesting in the past. Nothingburger? Rest assured that they will continue to downplay this. But let’s see how small a deal this really is.
Is this a harbinger of what could happen in November?
