Matt Van Epps wins a special election by 9% on a random Tuesday in December.
Multiple reports of many Tennesseans not even knowing there WAS an election.

Minnesota fraud scandal poses danger for Democrats in Senate race
The massive statewide fraud scandal in Minnesota is threatening to become a liability for Democrats in the state’s closely watched Senate race this year.
In particular, some Democrats think the widespread money laundering scheme, which is estimated to have stolen as much as roughly $9 billion, could be a problem for Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, the second-in-command to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D). Flanagan is running against Rep. Angie Craig (D-Minn.) for the party’s nomination to replace Sen. Tina Smith (D-Minn.).
Others in the party worry the issue could be a challenge for the party as a whole in the North Star State, as President Trump, House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) and other Republicans seek to make it a major issue, especially in the wake of a viral video from conservative YouTuber Nick Shirley alleging fraud by federally funded daycare centers in the state.

I gotta say this...how do we know anything the media tells us is true? Are we sure about anything at all?
Does anyone really think that the AI we see is as good as what the government has? Do you think the government hasn't perfected, over all these years, how to best propagandize the American people let alone the entire world? Is operation mockingbird real? If so, we are in deep doodoo.

Except that Minnesota vote fraud is bigger than the Somali fraud. No voter ID and one voter can "vouch" for 8 others.

The best of the realistic outcomes is that Ossoff gets turned out of Georgia, sadly that means also that Collins wins. It's unlikely Collins, if she is unseated in a primary, is replaced by a MAGA Republican who actually wins regardless of the many Left winger Maniacs in that state. However, Cornyn can and looks like will, be beat by Paxton in the Primary, so that's a MAGA pickup from GOPe.
But that's only a one-seat pickup from Dems. Two if a Michigan Miracle happens, but with a Dem Gov and big corruption, unlikely. Things can change but 12 of the 13 Dem Seats are in fairly Blue States. We will see.
Trump has a $1.4B warchest as of right now. This will go up.
Because this is a "Defensive" election in the Senate, a lot of Republican Senators are going to have to tow the line.
