Dana Rohrabacher, a Republican known for his unapologetic pro-Russia stance, is projected to lose against Democrat Harley Rouda in California's 48th congressional district race.

As a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Rohrabacher has advocated for a better relationship with Russian President Vladimir. He has voted with President Trump nearly 84 percent of the time, according to nonpartisan analysis from FiveThirtyEight. He also has been known to back Trump's stance on immigration.

Rouda, a businessman and lawyer promising to protect health care coverage and reduce gun violence, appeared to take the win Wednesday morning after midnight data showed a near tie between the two candidates. Rouda held over 91,000 votes and Rohrabacher had 89,068.

Scumbags!

3. He was CA-49

and checking, the (D) is still leading. For some reason they are still counting in there (NYT is only show 66% counted).

15. Our mail in ballot in SF was 8 pages long. Not sure about CA49, but

Chances are it's pretty long, and each has to be counted and checked by both parties and certified before final count is validated. Could be a while.

17. Just checked and they called it for Levin!!

I know that seat was vulnerable anyway, even if Issa had run again, but it is good to put an exclamation point on his departure and winning his seat!!

18. Excellent!

9. Russiabacker had better run to Moscow quickly, before Mueller issues the next batch

of indictments.

5. I really do hate traitors..................and I really do hope that in the house they investigate

not only him but others that may have taken money from that foreign state, and really ask questions about Citizens United and put the Roberts Court on the defensive.

And also take a very strong look at the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act....................while holding the republicans accountable and the main head cheese traitor


November 3, 2020 cannot get here fast enough.....................lets keep it up and vote
