Update. Have spoken to three potential interviewers.
All declined for safety reasons. Not from the homeless on skid row, but what happens to them if they do find fraud.
People are asking me if I’ve turned into an election denier in the last 24 hours.
I still believe the Too Big to Rig strategy and crushing the will of spoilers works.
But, we are well beyond that in LA.
We are up against a well-funded operation that has been perfected over multiple cycles, in a City with no political will or manpower to build a competing system.
But that’s not even the main problem, even if we had the will, money, and people to do it (which we would have had Spencer made the runoff).
The main problem is they don’t play by the rules. Or if they do, they’ve bent the rules so far that the “rules” are just an illusion.
They can register anyone, to anywhere, and vote for them with or without their consent, without a process with any guardrails to prevent it, and without a paper trail to prove it.
That’s the issue.
I see it now.
Genuinely baffled that anyone can look at the state of Los Angeles and say, “yuppp, we want more years of fraud, homelessness, needles on the ground and a literal communist driving all the business out of our city.”
A lot of people don't want to confront the implications of what they just saw happen in LA, even those who are appalled by it. They want an out, just so they can go on, not be terrified, feel a tiny tiny bit in control still. It will be interesting to see what they come up with.
According to this, it is legal in California to accept ballots without a postmark if the voter handwrites the date on the envelope.
This means all someone has to do is backdate ballots and send them in after Election Day.
There’s still two more days of accepting new ballots. They’re not even done yet.
This post is over the target
Secure elections should be bipartisan
Even if the actual fraud is minimal, a flagrantly insecure system erodes trust in Democracy
And fuels the inferno of left and right tearing each other apart
Remember everyone…we are still in the lead, and we’ve got allllllll the way til July 6th to keep counting. They’re not the only ones who know where to find votes 😉
It is impossible to explain how insecure the California election system is
No ID required
A broken signature verification process
Enormous #s of mail in ballots
A giant homeless population, where it is proven they have been paid to register to vote
We need change
Karen Bass needs this lie to persist so you won’t look at everything she did wrong to condemn us to burn. You’re next, Sunland, Tujunga, Bel Air, Brentwood…don’t say I didn’t warn you.
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?
I try not to get political. But LA is where I live, and I am here to tell you: There is 0.0 percent chance these results are legit.
Nithya Raman has no base. No one knew who she was until Spencer Pratt torched her on debate stage. She gave a concession speech on Tuesday.
I really hope the federal government and @USAttyEssayli are investigating
(Again, apologize for getting political. Feel free to unfollow if this bothers you.
But a light needs to be shined on what's happening)
Well put.
This IS the process the Calif Legis -- with veto-proof super-majorities that let it do what it wants -- put in place.
They DO NOT CARE about the criticism from outside the state.
The entire system is designed to MAXIMIZE ballot accumulation, with the barest minimums of safeguards against vote fraud.
Those minimums only pay lip service to the threat of vote fraud.
The elongated period for the receipt of ballots introduces TIME that creates opportunity for mischief that would not be present if all votes had to be in on election day.
The resort to mailing millions of unrequested ballots to unverified addresses puts the means for vote fraud into the public domain.
But it all begins at the Calif DMV where merely checking a box registers the person named to vote with no ID or proof of citizenship required. That person can then get a ballot mailed to them and cast that vote without any interference from state or county election officials.
It is entirely on the "Honor System."
