California Is Blocking a Federal Audit of Its Voter Rolls

California allows first-time voters to register using forms of ID that most Americans would find surprising, including:

-Gym membership card
-Employer ID card
-Credit or debit card
-Prescription drug label
-Insurance card (California provides free health coverage to undocumented immigrants)

Full list: https://t.co/BvfviJsYG8

This is permitted when a voter fails to provide a Social Security number or driver’s license at registration. Our office believes this policy deserves a closer look.

We also have serious concerns about how California maintains its voter rolls. There are open questions about whether the state is promptly removing deceased voters, people who have moved, and individuals convicted of disqualifying felonies.

On top of that, California allows third parties to collect and turn in ballots on voters’ behalf (a practice known as ballot harvesting) with few restrictions. This makes it difficult to track who actually received, completed, and submitted each ballot.

For over a year, the Department of Justice has been trying to audit California’s voter rolls. Federal law gives the Attorney General the authority to review state voter files and confirm that only eligible U.S. citizens are voting in federal elections.

@AAGDhillon sent California a letter explaining our legal authority. California refused to comply, claiming state privacy laws block the review, an argument that does not hold up because those laws don’t apply to the federal government in this context. We’ve sued California in federal court, and the case is before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

If California genuinely wants voters to trust its elections, it should open its records, not fight to keep them closed.

What are they afraid of?

As a gay man, I say: you did this - you, the far-Left LGBTIAQ+ activists with your grotesque parades, your absurd 'pronouns', your men in women's spaces and your drag queen storytimes.

You did this. You pushed and pushed the boundaries of power to see what you could get away with, using the 'cause' as a testudo: criticise us and you're a 'homophobe', 'transphobe', etc.

You used us, the 'normie' gays as a cause, to radicalise and militarise, whilst weaponising speech, with what others can and cannot say - and now you're surprised that there's kick-back?

Oh, sure, you'll now use that as: "See? See? Look at all the homophobia and transphobia! We told you!" but it was you that caused the homophobia and transphobia with your ridiculous power moves for 5% of the population.

We asked for equality. We got that. We asked for Same-Sex Marriage. We got that. But you wouldn't stop there. Emboldened by the generosity of those who, in many countries, voted for or supported the latter, you wanted to see how much further you could go.

You poked the bear. The bear didn't react. But you kept poking and finally the bear reacted. And now we're in a position where the bear recognises you every time and will swipe back.

You did this.

🚨 New York Democrats just voted to erase "Mother" and "Father”.

Governor Kathy Hochul will be replacing "mother" with "gestating parent" and "father" with "non-gestating parent."

This isn't inclusion, it's insanity.

While New Yorkers battle sky-high taxes, crime, and failing schools, The state is obsessed with rewriting biology and the English language. Real parents don't need woke bureaucrats redefining them.

Reject this nonsense.

Two decades after the release of Al Gore’s film documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, it has become fun to point out how few of his hysterical claims have materialised. Sea levels have not risen six metres. The snows of Kilimanjaro have not vanished. Polar bear numbers have risen, and no major cities lie underwater

Gore’s impact on the climate change debate has been infamous, and increasingly amusing. But blame for the steady brainwashing of swaths of the population, including schoolchildren, who surveys show are the most fearful, must rest with the wider mainstream media

Far from “following the science”, it turns out 10 of the most important news outlets in Britain and the US have catastrophised the lengthy Assessment Reports produced every few years by hundreds of scientists under the auspices of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

Rigorous new research, published last month by the National Bureau of Economic Research, trawled through more than 116,000 newspaper articles from 10 influential outlets, both right- and left-leaning, and found systematic fearmongering in their reporting of the six major Assessment Reports from 1990 to 2023

“Public summaries of IPCC climate assessments lean toward the more severe end of the technical evidence,” the authors find in their new paper, Divergence in Climate Change Communication

Their conclusion is striking, though not surprising. First, the official Summaries for Policy Makers SPMsz are themselves biased. These summaries tend to cherrypick the more extreme forecasts and outcomes contained in the much larger IPCC Assessment Reports

All 195 IPCC member governments – whose bureaucrats have typically swallowed the alarmist narrative – must approve SPMs line by line before they are released to the media. “This makes the public-facing document a politically negotiated artefact rather than a neutral summary of the underlying science (and) because a single delegation (can) block consensus, the wording converges on what the most risk-averse delegation will accept,” the report says, adding the SPM “reweights severity upward” in every one of the six reports

From then on, it’s institutional Chinese whispers on a grand scale as the media sensationalises the findings further still, filtering the SPMs’ claims by dwelling on the scariest projections, and sometimes dumping important hedges and qualifiers that were essential to the original IPCC report

Remarkably, left- and right-leaning outlets show similar patterns, except for The Wall Street Journal, which was the only outlet that consistently understated SPM (The Guardian and The Independent were the most sensationalist in the catastrophist direction)

Who can forget The Guardian’s 2004 classic report from “experts” that by 2020 “European cities will be sunk beneath rising seas as Britain is plunged into a ‘Siberian’ climate by 2020. Nuclear conflict, mega-droughts, famine and widespread rioting will erupt across the world”

The report’s authors do not argue that anybody is fabricating evidence. Nor do they claim the science itself is wrong. Rather, scientists and journalists, being human and as such beholden to their own preconceived political and scientific ideas, select the higher-impact estimates and more dramatic interpretations that already exist

For years, sceptics have been accused of distorting climate science. Yet clearly the major and far more insidious distortion has been in the opposite direction given the trillions spent on unreliable and extremely expensive wind and solar power. They have contributed to a global climate cult

Why does this tendency toward amplification run so consistently in one direction? Look no further than the institutions that produce and interpret scientific knowledge: universities

The same month the NBER paper appeared, another remarkable study examined the ideological character of academic social science itself. It turns out roughly 90 per cent of politically relevant social science articles leaned left between 1960 and 2024, and all disciplines drifted left from 1990 onwards, according to a new study from Oxford University

Sociologist author James Manzi – who probably deserves a bravery award – used AI to analyse almost 600,000 English-language social science journal abstracts published between 1960 and 2024. He also found that the academic disciplines with more leftward orientation displayed the most ideological conformity. Perhaps the only positive finding was that sociocultural content “was more consistently left-leaning than economic content”, a gap that had been widening. Economists still have to argue in logic, numbers and statistics, which makes it harder, though not impossible, to publish biased nonsense

“When evaluated under a stable 2025 ideological reference frame, anglophone social science abstracts have been persistently classified to the left of centre for decades, and this asymmetry has intensified over the past 30 years, most sharply on sociocultural dimensions,” Manzi concluded, singling out “climate change, racial justice, and gender/sexuality research” as among the top growth areas in social science research.
The very institutions that relentlessly advocate for diversity in the workplace clearly don’t prefer it for themselves. The popular veneration for “peer-reviewed” publications in such an environment is similarly ridiculous

Whether the issue is climate change, energy, inequality, public health or immigration, interested citizens are often told they are receiving “the science”. Yet they are being fed a chain of politicised interpretations layered on top of the science that is often contestable, as the footnotes of the IPCC reports make clear – if ever we were lucky enough to hear about them

How are Democrats cheating in L.A.?

Let me show you…

There are 26 registered voters at this toilet in Los Angeles.

I’m not kidding. I have the voter records. See for yourself. The only thing here is a stinky port-a john inside an empty parking lot.

No homes. No mailboxes. No businesses. Yet TWENTY SIX ‘people’ are casting ballots here.

Straight-up voter fraud out in the open. This just a glimpse of what’s happening under Gavin Newsom.

This is why California desperately needs Voter ID — and we must pass the Save Act NOW.
