🗳️ Many have been asking me describe the potential signature verification loophole for Los Angeles mail in ballots.
It says: “If a voter is unable to sign, the voter can make a mark witnessed by one person.”
Here, the person drew a happy face & “witnessed” it with a scribble. That scribble isn’t validated as being a real person. No name, nothing.
While a happy face may draw scrutiny, a plain line would not.
This could hypothetically enable mass harvesting where the voter never fills out, signs or even sees their own ballot.
We should be told how many ballots show up without the voter’s signature.
Katie Couric infamously edited her interview with Ruth Bader Ginsberg because RBG took the anti-woke position that Colin Kaepernick's kneeling was "dumb and disrespectful," and Couric didn't want to hurt RBG's standing w/ the Left. https://t.co/bXPbvNOyBD

Before 2016 law changes: Elections resolved on election night or within days. Republicans won seats, held seats, results were stable.
2016: Democrats pass ballot harvesting and universal mail ballot laws. Signed by Democratic governor.
2018 onward: Every close race follows the same script. Republican leads on election night. Slow count begins. Lead shrinks daily. Republican loses weeks later.
Seven House seats in 2018 alone. All the same pattern. All in one direction. Never reversed.
Since 2018, there hasn’t been one single race where the slow counting of votes didn’t take away a Republican victory by the end.
Over the last 20 years…
Elections decided on Election Night:
Republicans: 52%
Democrats: 48%
Elections decided AFTER Election Night:
Republicans: 20%
Democrats: 80%
This is totally insane.
Nothing to see here…
