@Brick_Suit California rules favored urban voters in 2025. Weird

[Aaron Torres @Aaron_Torres]

I try not to get political. But LA is where I live, and I am here to tell you: There is 0.0 percent chance these results are legit.

Nithya Raman has no base. No one knew who she was until Spencer Pratt torched her on debate stage. She gave a concession speech on Tuesday.

I really hope the federal government and @USAttyEssayli are investigating

(Again, apologize for getting political. Feel free to unfollow if this bothers you.

But a light needs to be shined on what's happening)

This is correct

California casually disenfranchising rural voters in 2025

[Deb @Deb8822]

@kausmickey I dropped off three ballots (legally) on election day at a polling station and only two have been counted, the third is still just accepted.

[Mickey Kaus @kausmickey]

UPDATE: Now it says my ballot "will be counted." So it hasn't been counted yet? It wasn't a mail-in.

[Seth Keshel @RealSKeshel]

I’ll bite. Why do 34 of 47 European counties completely forbid the practice of mail in voting? They’re way to the political left of the US.

Why Russia, Japan, Israel, Mexico?

People like this are the ones proving to me that humanity is moving backward despite endless access to REAL information.

Mail in voting without controls is a crime against the people of a nation.

ChatGPT can’t find a single example of a 3rd place candidate surging, days AFTER Election Day, to overtake 2nd place.

It couldn’t find 1 example in all of American history.

That’s what’s happening with Nithya Raman & Spencer Pratt.

Los Angeles has 3rd world country elections.

.@seanmdav on California's ridiculous election process:

"There's only one reason to design an election this way and it's to control the outcome... Nobody would create a system like this if they wanted people to have faith in results."

[Cernovich @Cernovich]

Insufferable.

[Brick Suit @Brick_Suit]

"A COUNTRY CAN NEVER BE GREAT WITH A DISHONEST PRESS!"

President Trump shuts down a whining Kristin Welker and walks out on her.

Scorched earth.

[Peter H. Diamandis, MD @PeterDiamandis]

The same country that put humans on the Moon in 1969 now takes an average of 4.5 years to approve major infrastructure permits.. longer than it took to build the Panama Canal. 

Transmission lines average 10 years from permitting to completion. The bottleneck to abundance is not technology, but BUREAUCRACY!

Credentialism is one of the strangest religions ever invented. A piece of paper signed by the right stranger is treated as evidence of wisdom, while actual results are treated as anecdotal.

It’s what mediocre people build when reality keeps asking for proof of competence.

[DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican]

@infantrydort Yup. The below was my low-level algorithmic fixes. Been around, invented enough algorithms, submitted enough papers, done that enough to know that I will be rejected at the peer review stage every time because of no PhD.

[InfantryDort @infantrydort]

You know the system is cracked in half when DataRepublican gets gatekept because she has no “credentials”.

No patents of nobility.

Can she literally move the earth by clicking “post”? Sure.

Can she single handedly change national policy? Yes.

None of that matters apparently.

When you were young, I called you my encyclopedia, because everything you read you remembered. That’s a talent you cannot learn. Proud mom.

Wildest takeaways from my time at the Ballot Processing Center today.

✍🏻 Signatures only need to be 40% accurate (!) this is the setting the machines are set at for LA County (called the ASV)

🗳️ The last two drops disproportionately supported Raman. Are those coming from specific neighborhoods since they’re such an anomaly? Or are the neighborhoods pretty spread out that you count from on a given day? “We’re not sure.”

💌 If you’re unable to sign, you can make a “mark” like a dot or slash instead of signing. A witness then signs below.

I asked them how they verify these signatures. Turns out, they simply don’t.

Well, you must check the witness signatures, right? “No, we don’t.”

So what if I stole a ballot, made a dash by the person’s name, and signed my name? “You shouldn’t do that, but in theory it would be counted,” they said.

How many of these “marked” ballots get in per election? “We don’t know,” they said.

Ripe for fraud, no?

Three years ago today I started turning things around after a medical scare driving on the interstate.

Starting with cigarettes, quit drinking a few months after and got serious, lost 100 pounds, kept it off, fixed my sleep schedule, cardio, then the gym. I’ve never felt better.
