BTW, I don't believe him when he says he won't accept the term. He could have just resigned.

I would just about guarantee that the majority of people voting for him have no idea who he even is. Maybe the republicans are right and fewer people should be voting. Maybe put state and local elections on the first Tuesday of October or something.

He's pretty poplar in that district, tbf he's always been very good about being visible SW Wichita. His ambition leads him to be dirty as eff but he also runs good campaigns.

I'll grant you that he's a scumbag and perfectly capable of that but what's the rule for replacing him if he resigns? Was he just trying to hold the seat for another Republican?

That's the theory, yes. He felt as if he resigned the republicans would have lost the election, but he still would have remained on the ballot.

Aside from being incredibly disappointed in his district for reelecting him, it's complete bullshit that the party can just pick whoever they want as replacement now that he stayed on and won.

Will he ask for a recount?

MakeItRain · « **Reply #33 on:** November 07, 2020, 09:39:04 AM »

Absolutely

Rage Against the McKee · « **Reply #34 on:** November 07, 2020, 09:40:07 AM »

I mean, yeah. Who wouldn't want to recount the vote over a seat they aren't even going to accept?

He really "wants republicans to keep the seat," the same republicans who forced him out. His only job has been a politician, he's in his 30's with no job prospects.

It should be very difficult for him to and any kind of gig after this in Wichita but sadly it probably won't.

I went into a small wikihole and found out that Chanel Rion's (OAN white house correspondant) mother is some ta-town psychic.

Splash Magazine, lol. Honestly surprised Koch didn't hire him. Abdul Arif hiring him at Mayflower is surprising because that seems like a job where ol' Mikey can steal and embezzle. Maybe since Arif is an attorney he thinks Mikey Lipstick won't steal from him.

Man, the mayor had that idiot looking like a clown until he lost his cool with the papers, still funny as crap though. I love the pub looking into the camera after the mayor dropped the paper and said "this is an ethics thing, right?"
