There was a special election in Iowa last Tuesday for a state senate seat in a district that Trump won by double digits. With the Democrats in shambles, obviously the Republican won the seat, maintaining their super majority in the state senate. Bummer.

Oh, wait.

A Democrat got 55% (that was a 22% shift from 2024) AND broke the Republican super majority in the Iowa state senate.

Never mind.

I wonder if that sentiment among red state voters has anything to do with the Republicans trying to rig the election with super extreme gerrymandering?

I expect so. Indiana Republicans just got their goose stepping orders to gerrymander the 2 seats that Democrats have. Like all abusers they are blaming their victims.

Governor Beshear has won TWICE in Deep Red Kentucky.

During his re-election he INCREASED his win in some of the reddest counties.

But, this is *only* of interest to people who actually want to defeat Maga or Trump - not to people who just want recs or wnat to get in a tizzy over the latest controversy.
