Power, water, and politics. Keep your eye on the big picture.

One of the more tedious processes in counting California's vote is that every mailed-in and dropped off ballot has to go through a signature verification process.

An LA County elections worker today tells me California confirms your ballot signature by checking it against all of the signatures CA has on file including your registration signature, previous ballots or DMV.

Kinda makes you wonder why not just ask for an ID up front and potentially eliminate all the backlog from the post election signature checks.

California Ballots Mailed to Ex-Residents Nationwide as DOJ Demands Full Audit.

.@LeighWolf a 10-year VA resident and voter contacted CA twice, still receives ballots.

Main stream media continues to ignore these stories we've covered for years.

@thehill Bannon is not the person I'd trust for political forecasting. He's made plenty of predictions over the years that never materialized. I'll wait for the voters to have their say.

@ZacharyDonnini Thanks, I really appreciate you taking the time to explain that. That makes a lot more sense now.

@WendyRedFox We’ve only received about 4% of late mail so far. So what we expect in the future is more important than the tiny fraction of votes we get now if that makes sense

@KRLD Not saying it's right or wrong, but the timing is hard to ignore.

That’s the type of gain (barely) on Hilton that Steyer needs everywhere to have a shot at passing him.

@ZacharyDonnini Would you say the more important signal is that Santa Clara moved from a 13.4-point shift yesterday to 14.6 today, rather than the fact that this batch was still short of the 15.5-point benchmark?

California politicians keep blaming oil companies while ignoring the taxes, mandates, and regulations they've imposed themselves. The same oil companies operate across the country, yet California drivers pay far more at the pump. If lawmakers want answers, they should stop pretending Sacramento's policies have nothing to do with it.

A California man was charged Tuesday after authorities say he brought an explosive device and other weapons through a security checkpoint at Sacramento International Airport.

Kimani Osayande Jones attempted to bring an improvised explosive device, a knife and other bladed weapons, a torch lighter and zip ties through the checkpoint, authorities said. https://t.co/TxtMkSJWZy

You can't build a winning strategy by pretending the numbers don't exist.
