@DDGriff1776@TimHannan Thank you for being specific about which bill!! 🙌 Which part takes it from the counties? https://t.co/J060OBeYoL
We dropped our ballots off in a dropbox here in L.A. and I just got the notification that it was received at the processing center this morning!
@Anynymity@myaccount_goals@TimHannan Most Raman voters will go to Bass (I know our votes would) to prevent Pratt from winning, even though she’s not our first choice. The city is historically blue, and most Angeleños know that it’s actually the City Council that has any real power. We have a “weak mayor” system.
@Anynymity@myaccount_goals@TimHannan How do you mean? Sorry, I’m not sure. I’m always down for good faith discussion, so thanks for beginning that way. :)
@alexanderhq@LACountyRRCC@grok You think I started with AOL? Oh my sweet summer child. I started with actual green text at 300 baud. Go play somewhere else.
@myaccount_goals@TimHannan I don’t think it’s impossible with a small batch, especially in L.A. where neighborhoods tend to vote similarly. If it continued to occur, then I’d think it’s sketchy.
I voted Raman but I know people who chose Bass because they thought she had a better chance of beating Pratt.
AOC: When people see a ballroom and, at the same time, see their health insurance getting cut off, they know that they are paying for that ballroom with no health care, higher grocery prices, and increasingly unaffordable housing.
And so I think people are pissed off about it, and they should be. It’s wrong. This is a complete theft of our money. This is what I want people to understand: this is our money. When you pay your taxes, that money is being stolen to pay for a vanity project like a ballroom, or to renovate the Kennedy Center, or whatever it is that this guy wants to do, instead of what it should be used for—paying for things that actually benefit you: better roads, health care, and more affordable groceries.
@DDGriff1776@TimHannan Also, just to clear this up - states don’t count votes, only individual counties do, and they report those numbers to the state. If there’s a delay in a count it will be because of the county, not the state.
@DDGriff1776@TimHannan My family (left NPP) dropped all 4 of our ballots off on election night and I got a text that it was received at L.A. County’s only processing center today. Some ballots may still be in transit - they’ve even been moving them by LASD helicopters. L.A. County is HUGE.
