@RoKhanna@PeteButtigieg I feel like fewer would actually be better. Force them to reach more consensus on decisions. Expansion is just throwing a tantrum coz the other side got to choose more, it’s not about good government.
Why is this ratioed? 🤦🏻♂️ He’s the only person speaking sense. We have AI, robotics, and it’s all developed in California. Only someone with no imagination believes votes can’t be counted faster.
A close friend of mine is cancelling his voter registration today. He is convinced Spencer Pratt was robbed of the election. I explained to him that in California we count absentees first (which skew older and more conservative) and election day voters are younger and more Democratic. The slow count is largely because of policies to maximize participation, including postmarking a ballot on Election Day.
Regardless, we need to figure out in California how we can get the vote counted faster and results tabulated so it does not drag on. We should make the investments in operational improvements and resources in the wealthiest state in the nation. It is worth spending the resources to get the vast majority of the vote counted within 48 hours. Right now the system is eroding trust and spawning conspiracy theories.
The "ditch the witch" mobile billboards targeting Premier Jacinta Allan isn’t politics—it’s misogyny.
It is a deliberate attempt to dehumanise and objectify a female leader and tries to rationalise blatant misogyny.
To claim it isn't sexist is pure gaslighting.

@gregbettinelli@Elex_Michaelson That just explains the process. Not why it takes so long. “We have to scan and open each envelope.” Ok so hire enough people or buy the right machines that can do it fast.
