On election night in Los Angeles County, I pulled every statewide race directly from the California Secretary of State’s official results page. Same ballots. Same voters. Same night.
The governor’s race the most important, most advertised race on the entire ballot received roughly 100,000 fewer total votes than the controller and secretary of state races. On the same physical ballot.
The exact numbers from the official SOS website:
•Governor total votes: 796,467
•Controller total votes: 901,756
•Secretary of State total votes: 889,586
That means 105,289 more people voted for state controller than voted for governor. And 93,119 more people voted for secretary of state than voted for governor.
Do you know what the state controller does? Most people don’t. It is one of the most obscure offices on the ballot. Yet it got more votes than the race that determines who runs the largest state in America for the next four years.
All Republican governor candidates combined on election night: 222,712 votes
Republican controller candidate (Herb Morgan): 302,552 votes
Republican secretary of state candidate (Don Wagner): 291,650 votes
That means roughly 70,000 to 80,000 people voted Republican in the controller and secretary of state races but did not cast a Republican vote for governor on the same ballot.
These are not different ballots. These are not different voters. This is one piece of paper. Governor is at the TOP. Controller and secretary of state are further DOWN.
People don’t undervote on the top ballot. They undervote on the bottom ballot.
How does this make any sense?
What am I missing people who are smarter than me?
1. Give your house to indigenous people
2. Sterilize your depressed gay kid
3. Demonize Israel
4. Replace police with neighborhood vigilantes
I really can’t understand why this stuff isn’t more popular
One of the most prolific criminals in all of San Francisco tells @adam22 that “crime in San Francisco is over with” because of Flock cameras + drones. He complains that he can’t even do drivebys anymore.
It’s simple: when the risk of getting caught is too high, crime plummets.
Do not go to a police interview without legal representation.
Ensure that your legal representative has full disclosure of what you're accused of.
Don't engage with anything other than "no comment".
Prepare a statement to be read out.
NEVER EVER agree to plead guilty or accept a caution.
These foot soldiers want easy wins, do not give it to them.
Do you want to know something interesting about the decision to remove Winston Churchill, Alan Turing and Jane Austen from bank notes?
Savanta, a market research company, was chosen to run a focus group.
The result of that focus group is that Churchill was “divisive”, Turing “an imperialist” and Austen “contentious and not representative”.
Yet that focus group had only 119 people in it.
And only one person called Turing “imperialist”. Someone who probably did not even know that he was not only instrumental in the Allies winning WW2 but was a gay man who was chemically castrated to “cure him”.
Turing was left fat, flabby and so unhappy that he carefully injected cyanide into an apple and ate it. He was found with half the apple by his side.
The Bank of England claims that the focus group was only part of its decision and it ran a broader public inquiry that favoured animals and flowers. Who did they ask? Primary school kids?
@BradOnMessage@60Minutes@GovKathyHochul Of course trump’s 15% tariffs did not cause a us built ship to cost 5 times what a foreign ship costs. Like nyc subways, it’s mainly unions, but they’re aligned with the Democratic Party so of course 60 minutes wouldn’t mention that factor.
Lesley Stahl on @60Minutes just feigned shock we can't transport LNG to New England from PA. She didn't note @GovKathyHochul blocks the pipeline to get the gas there, or that Democrats have propped up Jones Act forever. She blamed Trump for steel tariffs hurting shipyards, but didn't note Biden kept the tariffs all 4 years. Great example of why this show has to be reformed.
I am truly perplexed that so many people are against mosques being built...
I think it should be the goal of every Western Society to be tolerant regardless of their religious beliefs. Thus mosques should be allowed, in an effort to promote tolerance.
That is why I also propose that two nightclubs be opened next door to the mosque, thereby promoting tolerance from within the mosque. We could call one of the clubs, which would be gay, "The Turban Cowboy ", and the other a topless bar called "You Mecca Me Hot."
Next door should be a butcher shop that specializes in pork, and adjacent to that an open-pit barbecue pork restaurant, called "Iraq o' Ribs."
Across the street there could be a lingerie store called "Victoria Keeps Nothing Secret ", with sexy mannequins in the window modeling the goods.
Next door to the lingerie shop there would be room for an adult sex toy shop, "Koranal Knowledge ", its name in flashing neon lights, and on the other side an off-licence called "Morehammered."
All of this would encourage Muslims to demonstrate the tolerance they demand of us, so their mosque issue would not be a problem for others.
🚨 BREAKING: Multiple NHS services have been told to not detain psychotic African and Caribbean people to lower their "over representation."
Valdo Calocane was one of these psychotic Africans who staff refused to detain because of his race. He went on to murder Barnaby Webber, Grace O'Malley-Kumar and Ian Coates in Nottingham.
Pakistani Muslim nonces a girl, gets two years.
21 year old British kid angry that police helped kill a British kid throws a traffic cone, it hits nobody, gets 3-5 years.
But remember, there's no two-tier policing.
Just a reminder that the ONLY Republican running for Mecklenburg County (Charlotte NC) District 1 dropped out of the race...
...BECAUSE NOT A SINGLE PERSON WAS ARRESTED FOR FIRING SHOTS AT HIS HOME WHILE HIS WIFE AND KIDS WERE INSIDE!!!!!
Local police SPECIFICALLY CONFIRMED the attack was targeted at Aaron Marin.
Bullet holes can be seen in trees, cars, mailbox, and his kid's basketball hoop. Marin's ENTIRE FAMILY was forced to leave their home and Aaron says they live in, "constant fear."
He says his kids no longer even feel safe to play outside and they are moving now.
CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN WHY ZERO MAINSTREAM MEDIA OUTLET COVERED THIS??????!!!!!!
REPUBLICANS ARE LITERALLY BEING SHOT AT AND THERE IS SILENCE FROM THE MEDIA!!!!!!
WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?!!!!!!
When a woman materializes at a politically crucial moment to voice accusations of sexual abuse from many years ago, is she a brave victim finally confronting her abuser, or a scheming liar with a political agenda?
It 100% depends upon the politics of the accuser and accused.
The Biden family is in trouble. No more favors to sell, no influence, no more big income, but huge cash burn rate bc they live like kings.
So they hired a PR shop to rebrand Hunter as some “fresh honest Everyman” to get their foot back in the money room door.
Don’t fall for it.
Never was I told at CNN or Fox or now Newsmax WHAT TO SAY …I was shocked what I discovered at MSNBC but I just ignored them and did my job fairly, honestly and fact driven to the best of my ability for the shareholders and so Lack/Griffin fired me ..and Lack is now commenting on Pelly’s firing? You can’t make this stuff up!
