Matt Gaetz makes a case that the Texas midterm elections were stolen: https://www.joemygod.com/2026/11/matt-gaetz-claims-democrats-stole-texas-election/ 

A question is: how did Democrats steal the election from Republicans in a state that has a Republican governor, a Republican majority in the state senate of 19-12, and a Republican majority in the state house of 88-62?  As a friend observed: "On day red Texas is there. The next day it is gone."

Were the Republicans asleep?

Or did the Democrats control enough large Texas cities that they could inflate the vote like they did in the swing states in the 2020 presidential election?

It is not clear that Democrats needed to steal the 2026 midterm elections. The Republicans did not hold Trump to the agenda set out in his campaign, the success of which put the federal government in Republican hands, except, of course, for the federal civil service, a Democrat stronghold.  By making a lot of money while in office and  covering up the Epstein files, Trump was perceived as corrupt.  The Republicans aligned with Israel and war. The Democrats were not held accountable for Russiagate and wrongful prosecutions. The offshored jobs were not brought home. War in the Persian Gulf and data centers at home drove up energy costs and therefore all prices for Americans. Just prior to the midterm elections Trump announced more war as soon as the election was over. This showed too much regard for Israel and too little for Americans.

An alternative explanation to election theft is the lop-sided votes were accounted for by Republicans and independents voting Democrat to show their disappointment in Trump and Republicans.

A capable person should do an honest study.  If our government is being stolen from us, we should know it.

Reuters news service reports large shifts in voting among Hispanics, blacks, and those under 30 that explain the election results, shifts that Reuters found in 2,100 counties analyzed by the news service.  The Democrats did not have to steal an election that the Republicans handed them on a silver platter.  It is likely that by putting Israel ahead of America, Trump has shattered the Republican Party.
