Progressive judges win big, even in red states

In states where judges are elected, progressives did well, mostly on the abortion issue. A lot of this was also due to "bullet voters" - people who voted for Trump but left the rest of their ballot blank.

Also, as the final votes are counted, Harris now has more votes than Trump nationwide. So much for the "mandate."

Trump won the swing states and more voters voted for him than Harris. It was a significant win, and this was evident early in vote counting on November 5th. What you describe are very small victories, victories only someone desperate would cling to. One of them, the vote recounts for North Carolina's Supreme Court, is still only a potential victory. They may as well not exist.

@emiliya Small victories they may be but small victories by the democrats make it much harder for El Guapo and his cult to have free reign on the hill.
