Democrat lost election by just 21 votes [View all]

A recount confirms that Republicans held the state House seat in last week's special election... by 21 votes.

(This is a district Trump carried by 7.5% that Democrats hoped to flip.)

If someone ever tells you that voting doesn't matter please send them this and then urge them to vote in every single election.

Also imagine if just a few more people chose to volunteer for Sonja Satani and chose to phonebank and canvas. Maybe she could have won.

With that said though she had a great showing considering how much Trump won that district so I'm very proud of everyone who did volunteer and who voted for her.

Remember: always vote and volunteer.
