State Assemblywoman Christy Smith conceded the election to Republican Mike Garcia in a Wednesday afternoon statement. (snip) In the 2018 midterm elections, former Rep. Katie Hill flipped the district from Republican to Democratic with an eight-point victory over the then-incumbent GOP Rep. Steve Knight.

Mike, hire all new staff. Do NOT retain any holdovers either in DC or your home district.
(If I lived near DC, I would volunteer to work for you until you found more qualified staff.)

I got carried away. Here is some history fta:
Garcia's win marks the first time since 1998 that the GOP flipped a California district from Democratic to Republican. He will also be the only House Republican to represent a district that Hillary Clinton won with over 50% of the vote in 2016, as the Cook Political Report's Dave Wasserman pointed out on Tuesday night.

Perhaps the worm has turned. Not likely Trump could win Kalifornia but every little bit helps

I wonder what the real margin of victory was?

Wow. I'd have bet one of my livers they were going to steal it.
Proof to Reflublicans: make it a large enough margin and they can't fraud you.

I guess they're waiting for November to harvest the ballots.

Is she going to concede and then claim for the next 6mo that she actually won (like the woman in GA)?

She lost by 17,000 votes and conceded to Garcia. Abrams lost by 50,000 and wouldn’t concede. How dumb is that?

Don't celebrate too soon. The Democrats can still "find a lost" box of ballots in a trunk somewhere!!

Disturbing headlines saying things like "Mike Garcia goes after Katie Hill's seat". Bad imagery, especially trying to un-see what we've already seen of Katie with her underlings.
Let's keep it going, Cali. More where that came from!

One wonders how much those impeachment votes played in the outcome?

Hopeful sign. May 13 is the date of the first apparition of Our Lady of Fatima in 1917. A lot of what's going on in our world now corresponds to the Message of Fatima. Hopefully, the Pope and the bishops will consecrate Russia to Our Lady's Immaculate Heart as she requested. The people of Russia would be so receptive now because the country is so full of faith.

That district corrected their massive mistake of voting for the previous female nymphomaniac.
