Boy, that Biden sure had negative coattails:
E-mail from National Conference of State Legislatures to Seth Barrett Tillman:
That number is always the last to pin down [and not yet final] and the one with the most ‘noise.’ Our current estimate is that Republicans netted at least 160 seats in the [2020] election. It is rare, but far from unprecedented, for the party winning the White House to lose seats in states. This is the 6th time that it has happened since 1960, and the most losses by the winning president’s party since then. In 1960, Democrats lost around 300 legislative seats even though John Kennedy won the White House.
The reader can reflect on that comparison—to the election of 1960.
Go here to comment at The New Reform Club blog. No doubt in a place slightly warmer than Texas LBJ is cackling.
If it’s happened 6x in 16 presidential elections, it’s not all that unusual. I think only about a dozen states elect governors co-incident with Presidential elections, so the legislative contests would be in those states (none of them large) and in those states which have biennial elections.
About 1/4 of the time, a victorious presidential candidate’s party will lose ground in the House of Representatives. This year’s is one of the larger losses, but not unprecedented either. (The Democrats lost 9 seats in 1992 and 18 in 1960).
What is anomalous are all the Biden-only ballots, particularly on posted ballots which were filled out at the voter’s leisure at home. By way of example, in Michigan in 2016, the number of ballots cast in Congressional races was equal to 96.6% of those cast in the Presidential race. To just cast a ballot for a Presidential candidate and leave the rest of the ballot blank is quite unusual.
Given the amount of firestorm rage directed at the GOP for being “Trump’s enabler,” I find it really, really difficult to imagine Dem voters ticking the box for Biden–and then stopping.
“Sus,” as my children like to say.
Dale Price is spot on.
There’s also the DAMP anomaly.

To sum up, Biden UNDERPERFORMED Hilary in EVERY major metro area in the country…
Except 4 cities.
Detroit
Atlanta
Milwaukee
Philadelphia
Isn’t that… convenient…
I suspect that there have been other fraudulent elections. The Democrats have been regularly pushing toward shaping the electoral environment to increase its advantage through fraud.
Perhaps the fix didn’t work for Hillary because she believed false polls and thought she had the election in the bag and became to complacent or didn’t want to risk exposure by unnecessarily fixing an election.
Expecting a fix may explain Biden neglecting to seriously campaign. What blew this up was the size of the Trump red wave that forced the Democrats to go to have to press hard to overcome his lead and may have exposed the entire conspiracy.
What the may have succeeded in was to awaken the sleeping giant, but this giant’s anger and resolve is yet to be seen.
Stalin quote makes another good bumper sticker as does “”Release the Kraken!” . Of course the only bumper sticker I ever had, a take off on Save the Whales, was “Save the Baby Humans”. That was ripped off my mom van in North End Boston 1991.
The so-called experts had 27 US House seats as “up for grabs.” Republicans won all of them.
The Dems did not win one state legislature.
How did Biden win?
Thirty or 40 evil people feverishly filling in thousands of fraudulent votes in eight or ten so-called battleground states didn’t have time/energy to fill in the blank for any candidate but Biden/Harris.
Being a pathetic, 70 year-old retired slug, I watched the hour-and-forty-minutes Giuliani press conference. It made my blood boil.
So what happens to all the sworn affidavits? Not considered evidence?
