Lackluster numbers which will quietly be revised even lower at a later date

 

Just in time to give the Fed justification to lower rates in September and the Administration can claim that they beat inflation.

  The question is will they overcome the cheat machine.  Will they do anything about it such as 1.2 million votes cast in a district that only has 1.0 million voters.  Remember that 2020 was about supposedly getting people off of the sofa and barstool to vote so it's not like there are hundreds of thousands more to be found in these same districts who miraculously all vote one way.
