November 10, 20241 yr Northern California, which does not experience droughts, was releasing water from its reservoirs to a delta specifically to try and preserve an endangered species. This has been happening for over 20 years, long predating Newsom. Furthermore under Newsom it's being eliminated this year as studies have indicated it is not having the hypothesized effect. So Newsom actually is rolling back a policy that was shown to be ineffective by science. https://mavensnotebook.com/2024/10/01/press-release-state-water-contractors-applaud-californias-use-of-adaptive-management-in-the-bay-delta-for-2024/ California has similar voting requirements as Pennsylvania. To register you must provide identification. So voter ID already is part of the voting process. As far as California regulations go on vehicles, California has long been the state that pushes vehicles to be more efficient and environmentally sound. If voters don't like it they can come in Republicans.

November 10, 20241 yr To be clear I'm in no way alleging any sort of fraud. I'm sharing this because what it means may be of interest: In both Michigan and Wisconsin more people voted for president than senator by margins larger than Trump's win. So did we have tens of thousands of Republican voters check the box for Trump but abstain from the Senate votes? That's really weird.

Exactly, part of the reason they call the 1980 election the Reagan Revolution is because when Reagan won 44 states It also led to lots of Republicans winning state races and flipping lots of seats from blue to red. That’s what normally happens.

November 10, 20241 yr FWIW, if discrepancies like this happened in Harris's favor you'd have an apoplectic MAGA world descending on the State Capitols and dozens of court cases filed (and ultimately tossed for lack of evidence). The only explanation is tens of thousands of voters showing up, voting Trump, and walking out on any other elections.
November 10, 20241 yr 27 minutes ago, Dave Moss said: Casey in PA, Brown in OH, and Tester in MT all lost though I dunno about Brown the the Casey/McCormick race was much tighter. And similar effect there. Over 120k more people voted for president than for Senate in PA. In this case both Senate candidates got fewer than the President, but the gap was much wider for Trump/McCormick. Trump got 141k more votes than McCormick. Harris got almost 35k more than Casey. The 3rd party ticket for Senate in PA got almost 55k more votes than the 3rd party for President (Stein) which is how it ends up around 120k more for president than Senate. (141+35-55=121k)

This is what you get when it has little to do with policy and far more to do with a cult of personality. It's not sustainable long term for the party, but I've given up hoping the GOP will ever get their ish together enough to become the adults in the room again. The dems will get my vote for the foreseeable future until the GOP candidate runs as an anti-MAGA challenger. Harris: 2.74M Trump: 2.80M vs Slotkin: 2.71M Rogers: 2.69M

And they broke the Republican supermajority in the state legislature.
