More than a few people who were barking this morning that California Dems had rigged the election against Pratt are currently congratulating Steve Hilton on making the gubernatorial runoff without any recognition that these two things don't compute
The details about the Tate brothers in this @newyorker profile are as sick as anything you will ever read. They are rapists, pornographers, traffickers - and heroes to the "conservative" MAGA movement

The toxic myth that American elections are rife with voter fraud is one of the most destructive lies of the last decade.
To steal a modern election on a scale that shifts the outcome would require flawless collusion among thousands of regular citizens and officials.
In the real world, a conspiracy that vast could never remain a secret.
It is time to put an end to this dangerous nonsense.
For everyone debating L.A.'s voting here, I encourage you to get offline, get outside & talk to people:
-Visit MULTIPLE neighborhoods with a variety of socioeconomic & cultural perspectives.
-Request a free tour of L.A. County's vote counting center & see for yourself how the system operates.
Trump should show up here at the L.A. County ballot processing center because he’d learn within five minutes this is democracy in action, not some conspiracy.
It seems statistically impossible that a liberal candidate would pull more votes than a Republican moron in one of the most liberal cities in America.
This must be investigated.
When Democrats tried in 2020 to get Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin to count early votes early—like Florida—Republicans killed the bills so Trump could win day-of-voting tallies and try to throw out mail in ballots. It’s a scam for people Trump thinks are stupid.
I watched MTP interview with Trump, and @kwelkernbc did what few interviewers do: Plow through his lies and evasions (especially about elections and Jan. 6) and not let him filibuster w/o response. He unleashed a barrage of childish insults before he...walked away.
Kudos.
With the shooting in Toledo, Ohio - it might be a good time to point out that since Trump’s 2nd term: Republicans introduced zero gun reform bills, despite almost 600 mass shootings - while introducing over 800 restrictive voting bills, despite only 40 cases of voter fraud.
On this 82nd anniversary of D-Day, remember: The way we wonder why Germans didn’t stop Hitler is exactly how the rest of the world views Americans and Trump today.
I’ve spent 15 years reporting on California elections. I know well the problems with elections administration here.
If you see people screaming “fraud,” it’s safe to say they’re full of shit.
Documented cases of elections fraud in CA are extremely rare.

He is crazy.
I know we don’t want to shame people for their mental illness, but maybe they don’t belong in the Oval Office with the nuclear launch codes?
If he truly believes this, he is certifiable.
It takes longer because state leaders passed laws to send mail in ballots to every registered voter, allows them to be postmarked on the day of the election, allows 7 days for them to be returned and then 10 days to “cure” signature verification issues after that. That’s a policy choice. State leaders could choose to have different deadlines & the count would go faster. I’m not endorsing or opposing the policy…just explaining how it works.
NEW: A stunning new project from @lawfare's Katherine Pompilio finds that 97 Jan. 6ers who received clemency for their role in the Capitol riot then got arrested, charged, and/or convicted with subsequent crimes—a number much higher than previously reported.
