Harry Reid might be kicked out of Senate in 2016, particularly if Governor Brian Sandoval decides to run for US Senate

In 2016 the fight for senate control will be reversed. In 2014 Dems had to defend twice more seats than GOP, so statistically GOP had a better chance of picking seats. In 2016 Dems will defend only 10 seats, while GOP will defend 24 seats. This is a much more perilous situation for GOP, however most of the GOP senators for reelection come from red states and their seats are rather secure. There are only 3 senators who come from traditionally blue states: Mark Kirk from IL, Ron Johnson from WI and Pat Toomey from PA. Even though these 3 states are traditionally liberal, there was a swing to the right in at least 2 of them, WI and IL. So, I believe that, absent anything major happening, GOP will be able to defend all of their seats .
The question is, can GOP pick up seats in 2016. I looked at 10 seats that Dems are defending and I believe that in 2 states GOP has a realistic chance to flip the seats: CO and NV. CO is swinging to the right, which is evidenced by the election of Senator Cori Gardner. In NV the junior senator is a Republican and the last reelection of Reid was tough. In 2010 Sharon Angle led Reid in all the polls till the day of the election. In all polls she was 4% ahead. On the day of the election, around 5pm, they announced a massive power outage in the biggest Clark county and announced the results after the outage. The results showed that the vote was flipped and Reid won with 5% margin. I do not believe that all the polls were wrong and that there was a 10% swing in 1 day. I suspect that there was a vote rigging in NV as Obama needed Reid to pull Obamacare. I believe that Dems will not be successful in rigging the votes in 2016, particularly if Governor Brian Sandoval runs for Senate. Sandoval is a Hispanic, he will pull Hispanic votes, which pretty much guarantees an election in a toss up purple state.
Based on my analysis, there is a very strong chance to unseat both Michael Bennett in CO and Harry Reid in NV

Nov 02, 2010 Nevada Vote Place Power Glitch May Delay Results
Nevada’s top election official says a power outage at a Las Vegas-area polling place could delay the reporting of statewide voting results.
Secretary of State Ross Miller released a statement Tuesday saying there could be a delay in reporting early returns in all statewide Nevada elections.
Miller says there’s no estimate how long any delay might be.
He says no results of any statewide race can be reported in any county until all polls across the state are closed.
Clark County Registrar of Voters spokesman Dan Kulin says voting machines have battery power, and no votes were lost due to the outage.
He says it happened about 5:45 p.m. and lasted about 45 minutes at Schofield Middle School in southeast Las Vegas.

Apr. 16, 2012 Fact Checker: Did power outage get Reid a win?
—————
The background is that a vehicle accident caused a transformer failure that knocked out power to Schofield Middle School, where voters from five different Southern Nevada precincts were voting in the 2010 election. The power was out for about 45 minutes.
Fact Checker asked Larry Lomax, registrar of voters in Clark County, about Angle being ahead in the vote tally before the outage and behind when the power came back on.
He laughed. This is because no votes are counted until after the polls close — not votes made on the machines and not early votes.
“Nobody knew how many votes anybody had at the time,” Lomax said.
——————-
Fact Checker asked David Gallagher, who took over as executive director of the Nevada Republican Party in August, if claims of Reid stealing the election were on his radar.
“We’re concentrating on the 2012 election, voter identification and turning out people to the polls in the fall,” he said.
But is this an issue that the Nevada GOP is pursuing?
“No,” Gallagher said, “no one’s said anything to me about it, and as far as I know, my predecessors weren’t pursuing it either.”
But let’s assume for argument’s sake that Reid’s people orchestrated a car accident to take out power at this polling station to swing the election.
Fewer than 1,000 total votes were cast at Schofield school on Election Day 2010. But let’s say every voter from the affected five precincts backed Angle — there were only 3,679 registered voters there.
This would not have made Angle win. According to the state’s official results, Reid won Nevada by 41,424 votes.

Catherine Lu of the Secretary of State’s office said that, so far, no one has challenged the results or made a complaint about voting problems related to the power outage.

David Lory VanDerBeek lost his bid to oust the crook Sandoval this year. He has since focused on challenging Reid for Senate in 2016. Here is VANDERBEEK’s webpage. We all need to get behind him. https://nevadagovernor2014.com/issues/

As an escapee from Illinois, I would cheer if Dick “The D-Bag” Durbin was run out of the US Senate.

It was well-known that Reid stole the last election (plus how many others, as well?) and his son is supposed to be “in-charge” of the elections process in Nv.!
So I’m wondering why the Gov. and/or the SOS haven’t done their jobs by eliminating these voting machines, yet?
If one thinks about it, the true test of who voting for who might be already here? (If everyone would vote agsentee ballot, the machines wouldn’t be needed!!!!).
