@justicenow_alan @elonmusk Nice straw man. Election workers are prohibited by law from checking ID, so they don’t need to be in on any fraud. Stealing votes in California is like taking candy from a baby.

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?

Do you trust the results (still not final…) of the California governor and LA mayor races?

[Shaun Maguire @shaunmmaguire]

It takes a conspiracy theorist

To believe California’s election is secure

@smmarotta @jadler1969 I don’t believe this about the population as a whole, why would you assume this about poll
workers?

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

The reason ID is banned in California (and New York) elections is to enable large-scale fraud.

When you combine no ID and mail-in voting, fraud is de facto legalized.

[JD @jamesmdowns]

@jaketapper Fuck right off Jake. You "journalists" are the most incurious boobs who ever existed. Please tell us about the deep investigation into the California's voting scheme that CNN conducted to reach this "zero evidence" conclusion.

Investigative journalism my ass.

@Astoria1958 @MVZaGoGo NY the greatest city? Is this satire?

[JD @jamesmdowns]

@JeremyDBoreing @JGalt09 Yes, this attack on Boomers is Marxist, except it’s generational instead of class warfare.

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

Rodney King, OJ, Michael Brown, George Floyd, Karmelo Anthony. My entire life I have watched black activists rally around the most dysfunctional, degenerate, morally repugnant parasites imaginable. Celebrating and defending the absolute worst of the worst. People who contribute nothing to society. When’s the last time an actual virtuous and heroic black man won popular support in his own community? It seems that kind of black man is more likely to be shunned than celebrated.

[C3 @C_3C_3]

It could be worse.

He could have introduced the President.

[JD @jamesmdowns]

@CNN How does the notoriously incurious CNN know it’s “baseless” before the investigation has even started? Is that kind of pre-judgement taught in J-school?

[Ron DeSantis @RonDeSantis]

This is absurd. Once a ballot is received in Florida it is immediately logged as received. Once the election ends at 7pm on election night, we know how many ballots have been cast. Once you know the total number of ballots it closes off avenues for cheating.

[Viva Frei @thevivafrei]

Would you look at that, Nithya Raman is inching closer with every additional day they count.

Fraud.

[JD @jamesmdowns]

@jenco88 @NateSilver538 Because if they are cheating (they are), that’s a violation of equal protection laws and that means the federal government has a say.

[Nate Silver @NateSilver538]

It's hard to overstate how much of an outlier California is for its slow vote-counting relative to literally any other state or almost any other industrialized democracy.

3. The majority of college faculty under 35 say they are in favor of shutting down speakers with whom they disagree. What terrifies the censors and cancellers is not necessarily that a dangerous idea might be thought, or even expressed, but that it might become common knowledge.
