Young Kim Wins and Then Loses California Congressional Election

Well so much for Young Kim being the first Korean-American woman elected to Congress:

Republican candidate Young Kim, who was expected to become the first Korean-American woman elected to Congress, has been defeated by Democratic rival Gil Cisneros in California’s 39th district, a report said Saturday.

The South Korea-born politician took the lead in initial vote counting in the Nov. 6 election. But she lost to Cisneros by 1.6 percentage point as of 8:00 p.m. after mail-in ballots were counted, according to the Associated Press.

They competed to succeed Republican Ed Royce, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, in the district, which includes parts of Los Angeles, Orange and San Bernardino counties and is two-thirds Asian and Latino.

Despite being home to former Republican President Richard Nixon and traditionally Republican, the district was won by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, a Democrat, in the 2016 presidential race.  [Yonhap]

It is amazing how long the vote counting has been going on for these races.

Thank God. We can only hope that the Party of Reagan takes the hint and begins moving back to the center.

Even in Iraq they made voters dip their fingers in indelible ink. Yes Flying, the US election system is a joke.

Also, insert quote from Stalin about voters not mattering as much as those who count the votes.

The reason Florida and Georgia (media scrutiny) went one way while Arizona and California (hidden processes) went the other.
