@houmanhemmati @LACountyRRCC @spencerpratt @nithyavraman @SteveHiltonx I went through poll worker training in CA.

"You can ask for signatures, but it's not required."

What about the box that they have to sign if they're being delivered by someone else?

"You can ask but it's not required."

It gets even better. There are no requirements that the witness be a registered voter, a family member, a notary, or have any specific relationship to the voter (though family or friends are commonly used).

No identification, address, or further verification of the witness is typically required on the envelope itself. The main check remains comparing the overall envelope (voter's mark + witness) to the voter's registration record, with cure processes available for issues.

🗳️ 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.

The math here defies reasonable logic. I see no reasonable way the 3rd place candidate suddenly starts beating #1 and #2 4 days after the election. This is third world country stuff we’re watching.

[Joel Pollak @joelpollak]

Consider the implications of a voting system that REGULARLY creates the impression of one result and then delivers another.

Now ADD the fact that if Raman moves ahead of Pratt, there will be NO opposition voice in the general election to challenge a mayor who let the town burn.

[Sun Optimist @CristusVictor]

Liberals don’t actually care that Trump fixed the reflecting pool on schedule and with a relatively low budget. They just hate Trump.

They could just be honest and admit that they are hysterical and will hate anything Trump does. But instead they pretend to have these logical reasons for opposing him. They are miserable, inauthentic, moronic cattle.

[James @JamespWeigel]

The democrats still have that bubble. That is how, for example, they end up nominating a candidate for senate with a Nazi tattoo against a moderate R in a moderate state because they are so sure that such baggage is no issue. This after years of warning about the rise of fascism from tge GOP

[Possum Reviews @ReviewsPossum]

Last night, I read the entirety of C.S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters. It's a novel told in the form of letters written by a demon to another demon instructing him on ways to manipulate his "patient" to do evil.

This one quote sounded familiar.

[Clandestine @WarClandestine]

Trump’s beautification efforts for DC are more important than people realize.

Past administrations treated this nation like conquerors treat conquered land.

They intentionally removed the statues, the culture, the history, etc., so they could remove the national identity.

Psychological demoralization of the conquered peoples. That’s what the Democrats were doing to our nation, because they are represented by foreign interests attempting to conquer and overthrow this nation from within.

All of the attacks on everything America, is not an accident. It’s part of the Globalist Left’s broader plot to subvert this nation and eradicate the American People.

[Mark Starrett 🇺🇸 @MTStarrett]

@GovPressOffice Yep. Looking good. Almost done. How’s your train coming along?

[Rapid Response 47 @RapidResponse47]

One might wonder why Newscum's team would post something so idiotic, but it makes sense considering they've never actually seen a project completed. It's a foreign concept to them.

Gavin thought this wouldn’t age poorly because he couldn’t fathom completing a public works project.

[Andy Ngo @MrAndyNgo]

“You’ve been stabbed? I don’t think you have, mate,” the officer responded.

The @HantsPolice body camera footage of the arrest of a dying Henry Nowak has been released.

The university student tried desperate to tell police he had been stabbed and that he couldn’t breathe. They turn him around on the ground and handcuff him until he goes limp.

Nowak was killed by an Indian man who lied and said he was the victim of a racist attack, a tactic often used and encouraged by leftists to get an upper hand against others.

[James @JamespWeigel]

CA's problems are entirely its own making by design.

They used the pandemic as an opportunity to finalize their legalization of turning elections into a ballot generation operation instead of a mandate from engaged voters.

The verification of ballots adds so much time because the system they set up has myraid holes and loose ends that destroy the security and chain of custody of ballots

In all seriousness, here's what's going on in California and Los Angeles and why Tom Steyer and Nithya Raman might incredibly surpass Steve Hilton and Spencer Pratt even though they're both trailing them by 6-7 points a full three nights after Election Day.

Since September 2020, California's been mailing out full ballots to every single registered voter. Registering is trivially "easy" in California. Can do it with any DMV interaction. So 10s of millions of ballots are sent out each state election, primaries or general.

Ballot harvesting is completely legal in California. Any one can go around and collect ballots. Just need the voter to sign over the ballot to them, as well as sign their own name and address on the sealed envelope.

Ballots must be postmarked by 8 p.m. Election Day or returned in person by that same time. Must also be signed once; or, if harvested, it must be signed and also signed over to the harvester (as I said above). ALL ballots are supposed to be received by June 9th, one calendar week after election day.

Most voters just turn in their own ballots. But many have their ballots harvested, "legally," by harvesters. They target younger voters, lower-income voters, and minority voters. These are voters who tend to sit out during midterm elections. It's the case everywhere.

It's obviously easier to harvest ballots when it's very close to election day. It's easier because by then, the lower-propensity voters who haven't voted yet consider their ballots to be effectively meaningless. So who cares if they hand it over (completed and sealed, of course) to a ballot harvester. *This is big reason why so many ballots get returned on Election Day or just 1-2 days prior to E-day. They get mailed via USPS, or dropped off in person. This is why so few ballots are in the possession of election officials by Election day or even the day after.*

Again, the ballots must be signed; and, if harvested, signed over to the harvester; and postmarked by Election Day. Important caveat here is that if a ballot fails these tests, they're not simply discarded. Rather, they are "cured" and "rehabilitated." Seriously. So yes, a ballot must be postmarked by Election Day by law, but the law doesn't discard these ballots if they fail that test.

Harvested ballots often do not have a signature or the handover signature. Or they have signatures that do not match the name. To you, this means that they should be discarded, no? But to the State, it means they need to be cured and rehabilitated. They have 30 days to do this.

And yes, ballots are all supposed to be received a week after election day. But that's not "received by the counting machine." It's received by whatever local election office is supposed to receive the ballots. Again, how this is enforced, or if it even is, is a mystery.

Activist organizations know all of this so they harvest heavily in the final days before an election, including on election day. In some cases, they can look at polling and prior VBM/early voting trends and then invest more in their ballot harvesting efforts to push their candidate over the edge. The current 3rd place gubernatorial candidate has billions to spend, but he still has to allocate that money as well as save some of it for the general election. If he sees that he's trailing by 3-4 points in the polls and that Ds are underperforming turnout rates in VBM/Early voting, he would be wise to invest in ballot harvesting in the final week.

All of this is why (1) so very many ballots are not even received a full three days and three nights after Election day began, (2) why so many of them apparently lean for the Democrats, (3) why it takes literal weeks to count all the ballots, (4) why so few ballots are counted in the 2nd and 3rd day after E-day, and (5) why you are right to be suspicious.

[memetic_sisyphus @memeticsisyphus]

In the 2024 election nearly every state in the union had 75% of their votes counted in 3 hours, all but one (California) had 75% counted in 2 days. For some reason it took California 38 days to finish the count, despite newsoms bill to have the vote counted within 15. Caesar’s wife needs to be beyond suspicion but California has been seen limping out of the gladiator barracks.

[Disgraced Propagandist @DisgracedProp]

Here’s how the mail in ballots elected far left candidate Katie Wilson in Seattle

Can someone show me an example of this happening the other direction? A Republican state would do.

[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.

[James @JamespWeigel]

@HearBothSydes @ZaidJilani Hahaha. I guess he should just keep it for life since its not disqualifying in democrat circles anyway.
