Mike Garcia is going to pull out a win for the Republicans in deep blue CA-25. This is a huge upset, and a very bad omen for the Dems. It shows that with the right candidate the Republicans can win anywhere. We will be hearing a-lot from Mike Garcia in the years to come. This is the best time for the GOP to field young and dynamic candidates in California and elsewhere. Americans are fed up with the Democrat Party’s corruption, tyranny and radicalism.

Big Congressional win in California for Mike Garcia, taking back a seat from the Democrats. This is the first time in many years that a California Dem seat has flipped back to a Republican. Also, Tom Tiffany beat his Democrat rival BIG in Wisconsin. Two great Congressional WINS!

The DNC invested heavily in an expensive special election race in California's 25th Congressional District. A district they won by 9% in 2018.
With 76% of the Vote in the Republican, Mike Garcia is leading by 11.4%
That is a 20% swing in GOP Favor with #MailInVoting #CA25

Republican Garcia takes big lead in nationally watched 25th Congressional District race
By Ventura County Star, May 13, 2020
Republican Mike Garcia jumped to a commanding lead over Democrat Christy Smith in a nationally watched special election Tuesday to win office in a 25th Congressional District both parties see as their turf.
With 140,755 votes counted in an election conducted almost totally by mail because of COVID-19, Garcia held 56 percent of the vote. Smith gained 44 percent of the vote.
The early returns represent mostly vote-by-mail ballots. More than 420,000 ballots were mailed to voters in Los Angeles and Ventura counties and more are expected to arrive at election offices later this week. They need to be postmarked no later than Tuesday.
More results from Los Angeles County, including ballots dropped off at polls and people who voted in-person, are expected later tonight. No more Ventura County tallies are expected until Wednesday afternoon.
The winner fills a seat vacated in November when Democrat Katie Hill resigned amid allegations of inappropriate relationships with staff members. The term expires in January.
Garcia, the former Navy fighter pilot, and Assemblywoman Smith of Santa Clarita will face off again on Nov. 3 for a full two-year term. The 25th District runs from Santa Clarita to Simi Valley with about 70,000 registered voters in Ventura County and more than 350,000 in Los Angeles County.
It’s a swing district held by Republicans since 1993 until Hill claimed it for the Democrats in 2018. If Garcia wins, it would be the first California congressional seat flipped from the Democrats to Republicans in 22 years.

HEY DEMOCRATS!
THIS is just the beginning of the end for your Communist Democrat Party.
#DoNOTVoteDemocrat
I pray you are right, TomSJr, although I have little faith in the electorate, more so, the faux-Democrats. The latter are likely conjuring a plot to defile Garcia’s reputation. Take care, stay healthy.
But, California routinely counts large numbers of votes after election day. An unknown number of ballots remained uncounted and Los Angeles County, where most of them are located, was not expected to update its tally again until Friday.
I have no trust in California’s electoral officials. Hell, I have no faith in the Republic’s electoral officials. Then of course, there is the Democrats whose unscrupulousness is not merely criminal but treasonous.
If it were me I would be preparing fake ballots for the republican
Democrats have an advantage in that a much higher percentage of Democrats are criminal by nature than Republican candidates. There is nothing to low for Democrats.
Amen, movingwaters.
republicans unlike the faux-Democrats are not deemed above the law; hence, the Republicans would be indicted and crucified.
SEE MY FRIENDS IT’S ALREADY IN THE BAG FOR THE DEMS. THAT 56% TO 44% WILL VANISH ON SATURDAY AND GARCIA WILL LOSE. JUST WAIT AND SEE. I HOPE I’M WRONG BUT THE DEMONRATS HAVE GOT ELECTION THEFT PERFECTED.
True, and an excellent point to make, especially for the edification of the Red State readers who still vote in American elections that are fairly counted and not subject to the criminal corruption and fraud that California Democrat cronies consider their birthright as the sociopathically twisted self-declared most virtuous people.
They all fall in hypnotic lockstep to a vague Neo-moral Leftist intersubjectivity sickness that manifests in a reflexive hatred and categorical dismissal of anything their crony leaders have not decreed.
This looks like too large a lead to steal in a small district — even for the Thug Dem Party of California.
Well stated, CW.
GARCIA WILL WIN UNTIL THE DEMS SHOW UP NEXT WEEK WITH A BUNCH OF HARVESTED BALLOTS AND BALLOTS THAT WERE FOUND IN THE BACK STORE ROOM OF THE ELECTION OFFICE . THEN THEY’LL DECLARE THAT THE DEMOCRATS WON HANDS DOWN JUST LIKE THEY DID IN THE MID TERMS IN 2018. EVERY REPUBLICAN HAD WON THEIR REELECTION THAT NIGHT THEN A WEEK LATER ALL THOSE BALLOTS FOR DEMOCRATS MYSTERIOUSLY SHOWED UP OUT OF NOWHERE AND EVERY REUBLICAN LOST THEIR SEAT.
That is my concern.
Then Republican’s were mute
looking for money from China and muslim nations! Owned by CAIR
I remember that! It was obvious as hell they cheated. I fully expect them to cheat again. It’s the only way they can win anything. In fact the cheating here in mexifornia is so bad that I wish D.C. would appoint a vote count oversight committee with an even amount of members from both parties. They would check for double voting, dead people voting, fake votes anf all the other things dems do to cheat. I don’t know if that kind of committee is possible, but something needs to be done!
Hmmmmmm….”Melowese”. And they didn’t see this coming beforehand ???
This district is mostly suburban-rural with small towns. It’s a natural Repub. district in CA. I live in Northern Cal but have relatives who live next to this district in Ojai.
The Lady Mike against is a doll….Just saying.
We had an even bigger win percentage-wise, in Wisconsin last night!
Republican Tom Tiffany won the special election in Wisconsin’s 7th District on Tuesday to fill the vacancy left by former Rep. Sean Duffy (R).
Thank God!
What a huge win.
Now we’re going to overturn the whole rotten Leftist Zombie Drone Socialist State of California de Mexico Gobienero, from the Anglo-Stooge Gov. Gavin Newsome to the Illegal Immigrant-Patron Authoritarian Racist Thug AG Xavier Becerra, and the Federal office cronies Pelosi, Feinstein, Schiff, and the lowest common prostitute of all Kamel-Face Harris.
The Democrat Treason Party is smoldering ashes in every direction.
How could this happen? Where were the graveyard and non-citizen vote? Or have those votes been tallied yet for their Dem0rat comrade?
Expect a few boxes of “found” ballots and day.
That’s GREAT !!
where are they making the fake ballots? Nancy’s house?
The Trump effect !!! Congratulations Mr. Garcia !! I hope “they” don’t find several boxes of uncounted ballots after the fact to take your win away…..
THANKS TO THE “LATINOS” and “AFRICAN AMERICANS”.
Those know how to appreciate President Trump!
Smith conceded. Looks like the Republicans have learned the art of ballot harvesting. If you can’t beat them,then join them.
There will be a BLOOD BATH on 3 November, as people (even some liberals) realize that a MarxiCrat win will plunge the USA into communism. Congress needs to be controlled by CONSERVATIVES, not so-called “Democrats” and RINOs.
