Back to our original line of thought, WaPoo is tearing it's metaphorical hair out at the thought that The GOP midterm wave is set — and Democrats can’t do anything about it. Probably not true, with a little help they might make things worse. From the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 06.02.22 (Afternoon Edition) Don Surber finds Lefties Agree The House Will Flip Red. Even AllahPundit at Haut Hair worries Is a Republican wave in November already "baked in"?

From Madeleine Hubbard at JTN New election integrity fears: Georgia county ballot machines off by thousands when hand counted, "The first place candidate dropped to third place after the hand.  count" Oops!

The secretary of state's office admitted late last month to making several programing mistakes in the ballot equipment that affected the final tally.

There was an attempted re-scan of the ballots in District 2, but ultimately a hand count was conducted, concluding around midnight on Memorial Day.

On Wednesday evening, the results of the hand count were released, showing former last-place candidate Spears now in first place and headed to a June 21 runoff against Alexander. Former first place candidate Orson was pushed to third place.
