  1. Republicans kicking ass everywhere, I love it! Yet more evidence the November election was stolen.

  2. I just added to the post, showing the percentages for each of these 4 seats last time they were up. In all four races, the Republican percentage was lower on May 18, 2021, than when that same seat had last been filled. But in the two State Senate races, the Republican decline was very slight.
