If the reports of not letting republicans vote due to poll workers using the new district lines are true that could make the difference in this race

“It's astounding that Lamb has competed this well in a district that Trump won by 20 and traveled here as well campaigning for Saccone“

What’s really astounding is how little you know about this district and PA politics in general. If this is surprising, you know nothing about the area.

When you pretend to support Trump's policies, it's really not astounding.

People are easy to fool.

Lamb has been reported to win this for weeks. Trump may be able to save it for Succomb, but that’s the only way he wins, which will be close, if it happens. Repubs have another terrible candidate...

It hasn't had a Democratic representative for 15 years. Romney carried it by 17 points. Why don't tell me more? I realize it's been traditionally blue historically and there are more registered Dems (even though they've voted GOP for years). What am I missing??

Tap the brakes. That doesn't mean what you apparently think it means.

Change PA to GA and you've got last year's CD-6 race.

It's almost as if there is a uniparty that intentionally runs good or bad candidates depending on whose turn it is to hold power....

Lamb isn't a far left nut bag like the platform the Dems seem to embrace. If he wins this, it should be a wake up call for the Dem party.

You are missing the fact that the way an area votes for president IS NOT THE SAME as how it votes locally.

You think a generic national dem would have carried this district? LOL.

Why are you comparing presidential margins to congressional margins?

Without Trump going out this weekend, this would have been won by Lamb by a large margin

But Lamb will vote party line, just like Jones has done here in Alabama. We will fix his arse soon enough.

Everything that Lamb has said (that I have heard) goes against what the progressive left is trying for. Even if he is "faking" it, it means voters liked him being pro gun, pro life etc. It doesn't mean they hate Trump.

It's still an R +11 district, so essentially +22 over the Ds. So it's arguably even more R leaning than the 2016 Presidential election.

Seems that this comes down to Washington County, Alleghany Cnty and absentee ballots. Westmoreland is essentially done.
