Padilla created the election scam in California and used COVID to launch it.
Do you want to know what happened?
Here it is.
Alex Padilla changed California’s election system before COVID. My three-part investigation follows the money, the warning signs, and the notice trail:

Apparently Terry Schanz will now “face consequences” for asking me to show him my penis… Is “facing consequences” equivalent to “time out” for adults in the California government?
Maybe he should have to sit crisscross applesauce on August 26 when I speak at the Capitol.
🚨 **RED ALERT: WHO IS THE MAN IN THE NICK SHIRLEY VIDEO?**
More than 11 million people saw the video. Everybody knows @nickshirleyy but almost nobody knows the man confronting him.
That man is **Terry Schanz**, an unelected California Assembly chief of staff who reportedly printed and distributed the sexually explicit sign attacking Shirley.
Schanz is not some random protester.
Taxpayers pay him **$207,828 a year, $73,134 more than Assemblymember Tina McKinnor, the elected official he serves.
He also holds influence within the Sacramento County Democratic Party.
The documented history extends beyond Nick Shirley. It includes the removal of local party members who supported a Republican candidate and testimony against Jim Cooper during Cooper’s confirmation as Sacramento County sheriff.
I am a Republican. Cooper is a Democrat. I know and trust him, and I consider him a great lawman. He was serving in the Legislature and running for sheriff when the incident Schanz later raised allegedly occurred.
Cooper is Sacramento County sheriff today.
This is not about one crude sign or one bizarre confrontation. It is about the taxpayer-funded position, political influence and documented history behind the man in that video.

Meet the California State Assembly Chief of Staff… in Sacramento he printed and handed out, “Allegedly Nick Shirley has a small penis, prove me wrong”
@TerrySchanz used tax-funded public resources to try to slander a journalist.
A perfect example of California politics.
🚨 BREAKING: NEWSOM SIGNED IT.
Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed AB 2624—the so-called “Stop Nick Shirley Act”—into law.
It is intended to intimidate journalists.
It has the opposite effect on me.
Threats and violence are already illegal. Investigative journalism is not. When California creates a special shield around organizations receiving or directing public money, the answer is not less scrutiny—it is more.
Governor Newsom, if you want to intimidate journalists:
I’m your Huckleberry.

I had not planned to attend. Gavin Newsom’s signature on AB 2624 changed that.
When government uses the law to intimidate journalists and suppress scrutiny, silence becomes complicity.
Count me in. I will be at the Capitol Wednesday.

🚨 Michael Gates is right: this ruling changes the battlefield.
The D.C. Circuit just reaffirmed that government cannot impose liability for constitutionally protected investigative reporting.
That is a direct warning to Sacramento as Mia Bonta’s AB 2624 heads to Gavin Newsom.
Journalism is not harassment. Exposure is not violence. Embarrassing powerful, taxpayer-funded organizations is not a crime.
Newsom should veto the “Stop Nick Shirley Act”—or prepare to defend it in court with our tax dollars.

🚨 BREAKING: A whistleblower allegation out of Michigan may have exposed the fatal flaw in America’s Motor Voter system: government databases are transferring people onto voter rolls without independently verifying citizenship—and then relying on local election officials who may not receive the information needed to catch the error.
MICHIGAN JUST EXPOSED THE NATIONAL MOTOR-VOTER PROBLEM
A Secretary of State employee reportedly produced evidence that the driver-record system registered noncitizens when their addresses were updated.
Officials allegedly said county clerks would catch them. But the voter file reportedly does not identify citizenship status.
So exactly what are the clerks supposed to verify—and with what?
This is not merely a Michigan problem. It is the same circular system we are uncovering in California: one government database transfers information to another, and each agency assumes somebody else verified it.
The allegation is now with the DOJ. The evidence must be preserved, independently tested and publicly explained before the next election.
Verification that cannot detect ineligibility is not verification.

🚨 BOMBSHELL OUT OF MICHIGAN
A whistleblower inside the Democrat Secretary of State’s office just claimed the election software is programmed to automatically register noncitizens, including illegal aliens, whenever their address gets updated.
Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon’s response:
“If that’s true, that is definitely out of whack with our federal election statutes, and I will certainly be looking into that.”
She added that the DOJ has already opened numerous investigations nationwide and they “will not stop.”
This is exactly why we need the SAVE America Act and real citizenship verification.
Secure elections or lose the country.
🚨 CALIFORNIA’S “VERIFICATION” PROBLEM JUST GOT BIGGER
A Social Security number contains nine digits. So does an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number. So does an Employer Identification Number.
An ITIN is especially important because it uses the same nine-digit format as an SSN. The IRS issues ITINs to certain resident and nonresident aliens who are not eligible for Social Security numbers.
But California voter registration may request only the last four digits of an applicant’s SSN when no driver’s-license number is provided.
Once only four digits are entered, the identifying format and prefix disappear. Those four digits, standing alone, cannot tell election officials whether they came from an SSN, ITIN, EIN—or were simply invented.
To be clear, the federal Help America Vote Verification system is supposed to compare the claimed SSN4 with the applicant’s name and date of birth against Social Security Administration records. It should not simply accept any four digits.
But the SSA system can return:
• No match
• A single living match
• Multiple living matches
• A deceased match
• Multiple living and deceased matches
• Invalid information
Then what happens?
That is precisely the question the United States Department of Justice asked New Hampshire: What happens to a voter-registration application when the identifying information cannot be verified?
DOJ alleged that New Hampshire failed to provide an adequate answer and filed a federal complaint under HAVA. That complaint was signed under Harmeet Dhillon’s Civil Rights Division and also names Deputy Assistant Attorney General Michael E. Gates—the same Michael Gates now running for California attorney general.
California must answer the same question.
How many California voter registrations produced no match, multiple matches, deceased matches or invalid data?
How many of those registrations were nevertheless activated?
Were ballots issued?
Were any ballots counted before the discrepancy was resolved?
What documentation was required to cure the failed match?
And where is the auditable record showing what happened in each category?
There is another enormous distinction California continues to blur: even a genuine Social Security number match does not prove United States citizenship. The Social Security Administration legally issues SSNs to qualifying noncitizens.
A Social Security match may help confirm identity. It does not independently prove citizenship. It does not prove the person currently resides at the voter-registration address. It does not establish that the person is eligible to vote from that address.
This is not an accusation that every tax identification number is being accepted as an SSN. It is a demand that California disclose the controls, results and consequences of its supposedly reliable verification process.
Verification is not merely entering four digits into a database.
Verification requires an authoritative source, a conclusive match, an established procedure when the match fails, notification to the applicant, an opportunity to cure legitimate errors—and a permanent audit trail.
California says it already verifies voters.
The evidence says: **Verify what?**

@MandyMccain77 The system was designed to register new voters, not confirm your already registered.
It is a relentless loop -
Welcome to Hotel California
You can check out, but you can never leave.
⚡ XAVIER, IT’S NOT DONALD TRUMP.
I’M YOUR HUCKLEBERRY.
Xavier Becerra and Adam Schiff are blaming Donald Trump because Californians are demanding honest voter verification.
But Donald Trump didn’t examine California’s records, document its verification failures or write this investigation.
I did.
California claims its voters are already verified. The evidence demands a simple question:
VERIFY WHAT?
Read my investigation, published by Joe Hoft:
EXCLUSIVE: California Says It Already Verifies Voters. The Evidence Says: Verify What?
[https://t.co/kcSqEEz3yN](https://t.co/kcSqEEz3yN)
If Becerra wants a public debate about California’s voter-verification system, he doesn’t need to look toward Washington.
I’m right here.

Donald Trump and his MAGA co-conspirators are trying to rig California’s elections. They gutted the Voting Rights Act and now they are coming for us with Prop 39.
@AdamSchiff and I will continue fighting to protect the right to vote.
Vote NO on Prop 39 to protect the votes of all California voters who want their voices heard.
Mandy is in New Jersey, but apparently she has checked into the Hotel California model of Motor Voter:
“You can check out, but you can never leave.”
She said no. The system asked again. She was already registered, yet there was no simple “I’m already registered—leave my voter record alone” option.
That is the point. Motor Voter was not designed primarily to confirm that existing voter files are accurate. It was designed with an insatiable objective: register more voters.
In 2015, Alex Padilla sponsored California’s New Motor Voter Act, promoting it as a program that could add “millions of new registered voters.” Padilla explained his philosophy:
“We do not have to opt-in to other rights, such as free speech or due process. The right to vote should be no different.”
That philosophy became the system: Treat every DMV customer as another registration opportunity—even someone already registered who has repeatedly said no.
A government that respects your decision asks once. A registration machine keeps asking until you surrender.

Earlier this week I had to go into my DMV to renew my license they said I needed a new picture. The application asked me if I wanted to register to vote. Since I'm already registered I said no. It then asked me if I was sure. I said yes. I know there was one more question it asked me but I can't recall what it asked exactly but it felt like I was being pressured to register and in all questions there was no way to say I was already registered allowing me to cut out two following questions as I would have thought. It felt like harassment by the last question. Note that the are you a citizen question came after the voter questions. I believe it went who am I where do I live what's my license number and the very next question was voter registration. I hadn't really read up on the news coming from New Jersey until last night. They are going through the DMV to get registration in mass quantities. By the third question I can see someone giving in regardless of current desires to vote or not vote just to get through that application. I honestly felt like it thought I was stupid and I needed to be asked repeatedly. Or like I said I felt harassed by the time I was through that part of the application. I can remember saying out loud to my phone " I said no" I was upset that I was given the opportunity to say I was already registered. This is matching what I read about New Jersey and their "glitch". I would not be surprised if I was re-registered or something to that affect just to make sure there was a registered voter attached to my address. This may be what is happening nationwide. Oh and Schiff and Padilla are both entirely showing their hands in this Shasta county war. They are stopping at nothing to prevent voter id. Guilty people freak out like this. Innocent people would not care if id was asked for. They have answered it all by flipping out and I am disgusted to my core that they represent our state. They should both be in a cell under a prison. Or sent back to hell where they came from. If you are missing the evilness that drips out of their eyes trust me it's happening. Vile evil liars
🚨 WHO VERIFIED THE VERIFIERS?
Padilla certified VoteCal. Weber runs it. Bonta defends it. Becerra knew the risks. Schiff demands “maximum oversight.”
California cannot demand maximum trust while providing minimum transparency.

🚨 EMERGENCY UPDATE — CALIFORNIA ELECTION INTEGRITY
This morning, Joe Hoft published my investigation into Alex Padilla, Xavier Becerra, VoteCal, Motor Voter, Riverside, and California's missing election-security record.
But the story moved again before the article was even published.
Yesterday, Senators Alex Padilla and Adam Schiff sent Secretary of State Shirley Weber a letter demanding “maximum oversight” in Shasta County after Registrar of Voters Clint Curtis said he wanted FBI and DHS assistance testing ballots for authenticity.
https://t.co/WN0w95dhnv
And look at the cast of characters now:
Alex Padilla — former California Secretary of State who certified VoteCal and is now demanding state oversight of access to Shasta election materials.
Adam Schiff — joined Padilla in demanding that oversight.
Shirley Weber — California Secretary of State being asked to intervene.
Clint Curtis — Shasta County Registrar of Voters seeking authentication of ballots he says warrant examination.
Riverside County — specifically cited by Padilla and Schiff, where Sheriff Chad Bianco's seizure of election materials has already produced a major legal fight.
Xavier Becerra — former California Attorney General whose signed 2018 election-security warning is at the center of my investigation—and who is now asking Californians to elect him governor in November.
And then there is something readers didn't know when this morning's article went live:
I was brought into discussions involving Clint Curtis beginning June 9, just seven days after the California primary. I still have the contemporaneous messages.
I am now going back through those records.
This investigation is no longer only about what California officials knew years ago.
It is about who can examine California's election evidence today, who controls access to it, and why those questions are exploding months before Californians choose their next governor.
The article published this morning. The story is already moving.
More coming.
