If you have witnessed potential election fraud, we want to hear from you.

People have been contacting our office wanting to provide information. We have established a dedicated email address for this purpose.

Email tips to: [email protected]

Please do not send rumors, theories, or second-hand information. We require direct evidence. Examples of what to report:

• A ballot arrived at your home for someone who has never lived there.

• You were told someone already voted in your name.

• You witnessed someone filling out ballots for others without their knowledge.

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?

If CA leaders wanted to prioritize a faster vote count, these are some of the policies they could implement:

-Ballots must be RECEIVED by Election Day. If you’re voting last minute, you have to vote in person or take your ballot to a county drop off spot. Then you wouldn’t need to wait 7 days to know how many ballots are needed to count

-Only mail ballots to voters who request them…not every registered voter. This would cut down on ballots being sent to bad addresses or the chances for ballot harvesting

-Send all registered voters free ID cards & require those cards for in person voting. Do not allow same day registration. This would likely cut down on provisional ballots that take longer to examine and process.

-Cut down the number of days to “cure” your ballot if there’s an issue from 10 to 5. This would allow for a faster certification date.

This would all speed up the count.

Could all of this lead to fewer people voting? Possibly.

Is the trade off worth it? That’s up to policy makers to determine.

A reminder: the current candidates for Gov. and Secretary of State have very different views on these issues.

Imagine paying $20/month for Claude when you can just ask questions to the Chipotle customer support bot and get Opus 4.8 for free

@rohitdotmittal SF be like - lets vote for the worst of the worst. We wanna die

[Angry Phoenix @angryphoenix]

@Basti @ritwikpavan Very insightful comment. Ironically from a cofounder.

[Angry Phoenix @angryphoenix]

@mweinbach any speculation on the pricing?

@FarzaTV Do you plan to support Windows

[Mayor Matt Mahan @MattMahanSJ]

I love LA. I love San Francisco. I love San Jose.

But here’s a secret — some of my favorite stops on the campaign trail haven’t been the cities with the biggest name ID.

Three great stops? Fresno, Imperial Beach, and Monterey Park

California is more than a brand name. It’s real people in real communities dealing with real issues. And just like the little farming town I grew up in, they deserve real solutions. We all do. Vote for results by June 2nd. https://t.co/DPqmhd98ul

[Mayor Matt Mahan @MattMahanSJ]

Californians are paying more, but getting less. As governor, I'll fix what’s broken, fund what works, and deliver results you can actually feel.

[Rick J. Caruso @RickCarusoLA]

California needs an experienced leader who is competent and has common sense. As Mayor of San Jose, Matt runs the safest large city in the United States. Imagine what a track record of success like that can do for our state. Vote @MattMahanSJ for Governor on June 2nd.
