The media is declaring Democrats have won the Nevada senate race with Catherine Cortez Masto defeating Republican Adam Laxalt. This gives the Senate to the Democrats with 50 seats, Republicans with 49 and the Georgia runoff still outstanding. [Media Report]
Something is very weird about this Nevada outcome, when you compare the Governor race on the same ballot.
With Laxalt previously ahead, and with his previous vote percentage in alignment with Republican Governor Candidate Joe Lombardo, it appeared Laxalt was positioned for victory. However, apparently the Democrats gained post-election ballots where the Democrat on the Senate race was supported, but the Democrat in the Governor race was not.
Democrat Cortez Masto (Sen) surged late in the ballot counting and carried 15,000 more affirming ballots than Democrat Sisolak (Gov). This seems odd and suspicious; however apparently, we are not allowed to notice these things, lest we be considered conspiracy theorists.
It is very rare for a split ballots to surface in a high-profile race where a Republican governor would win, and the Democrat Senator would win. However, the outcome in Arizona and Georgia is of a similar construct amid the ballot trend. Split races in the Governor and Senate outcomes. All very weird.
It wasn’t “democracy on the ballot,” it was something else entirely.
Democracy per se’, was in the voting, not the ballot collecting.
