You can’t say the 2022 midterms weren’t a success. We removed Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House.
It wasn’t the Red Tsunami we expected, but Republicans got five million more votes than the Democrats, which was a 12 million vote swing from 2020. That’s an amazing number. This American Spectator piece by Scott McKay is a must-read.
The Democrats get out the vote effort was far superior to ours. The GOP has to learn how to harvest ballots. That’s what makes the difference now in close elections.
We need to pay far more attention to how Democrats are rigging election through rule changes, like ranked-choice voting in Alaska which handed the Democrats a House seat and stole a senate seat from Kelly Tshibaka.
Republicans are set up for success in 2024 no matter who the presidential nominee turns out to be, but it won’t happen unless we get much more sophisticated in how we turn out and collect votes.
And we have to stop the spread of rigged elections like we had in Alaska.
