David Friedberg: California’s Voting System Looks Fraudulent, But It’s Working Exactly as Designed
@friedberg believes California’s extremely loose election laws enable “appointments” not free elections.
Why? The voting data in LA makes no statistical sense.
“ Pratt's post-election mail-in ballots declined by 1/3.
So statistically, the population of people that send in their ballots late reduced for Pratt by 1/3, increased for Nithya Raman by 80%, and Karen Bass 10% less, if you just look at the mail-in ballots before and after election day as a comparison.
I don't know if there's a sociopolitical way that you can assess those statistics and assume that these are individuals casting their individual vote for who they think should be Mayor of LA.
Basically, the concentration of incremental votes that Nithya Raman got came around the Skid Row area in Los Angeles.
But when you look at the basic statistics of what happened in person, mail-in before, mail-in after Election Day, it becomes a real statistical quagmire on how did this sort of a sociopolitical shift happen in such a way that it did?
Now, there was a report published, and they highlighted the 2018 California midterm elections and the challenges that they saw arise in that midterm election because of some of the legislative changes that were made.
First, California Assembly Bill 1921 legalized the practice of unlimited ballot harvesting in the state. What that means is that any individual in the state of California has the right to go and collect ballots from any other individuals, regardless of relationship, fill them out, and send them in.
California, two years later, 18 months later, also passed a law that made it permanent that every person registered in the state of California would get a ballot, so tens of millions of ballots then get mailed out.
Then there was another series of laws that were passed that said anyone can register to vote. You don't need to prove your citizenship. You can use a gym membership card as an example.
So anyone can register to vote. There is no proof of ID when you get a ballot. There is no demonstration that the person who fills out the ballot has anything to do with the individual who's supposed to be voting that ballot, and it is legal for an individual to go out and collect hundreds or thousands of ballots, ship them in, and they will all qualify in these kind of mail-in ballot voting processes.
So there's nothing illegal or fraudulent going on. In fact, the system is operating exactly as intended.
It has been set up and structured in a way that with the right construct, you can get an individual appointed, not elected, but appointed to a particular role in government under a, quote, ‘free election’ in California.”
“What is the evidence of voter fraud in LA?”
Imagine I tell you let’s play a game. We’re going to flip a coin. If it’s tails, I’ll give you $100. If it’s heads, you owe me $100.
Then I walk into the next room. When I return, I tell you “It was heads”.
Maybe I’m telling the truth. Maybe I’m a well intentioned and honest person, and the fact that this seems incredibly shady is just a total coincidence. Or maybe I scammed you. The point is you have no way of knowing. You may claim that I just scammed you… but there’s “NO EVIDENCE” that I did!
And THAT is our election process.
For years now in our elections, we have seen irregularity after irregularity, numbers that don’t make sense, math that doesn’t add up, statistical impossibilities — all of which always seems to exclusively benefit one party.
In our legal system, REASONABLE SUSPICION is the standard in which law enforcement can investigate a possible crime. Why is that not the same standard for our elections?
Every American deserves to have faith in our electoral process. And there is just no objective way that anybody can have faith in the current system. If our elections were clean, there would be transparency, and investigations would be welcomed.
School children are told “Show your work” when it comes to math homework. That’s all most of us are saying when it comes to the corrupt bastards handling these ballots:
Show your work. 🤔
You’re out of your depth on this one. Pratt support doesn’t break along what you see as party lines. And he’s never campaigned as a Trump candidate.
This wasn’t about a republican running against a Democrat. LA is on the brink of irreversible decline and people are or were voting just to fix the city regardless of partisanship.
But then the machine spun up. And the irregularities and anomalies of the ballot dumps kicked in
Nithya Raman is about to overtake Spencer Pratt after the last dump of mail-in ballots
She’s now trailing by just 7,500 votes
What are the odds of her getting the largest percentage on every single mail-in ballot tally???
@robbystarbuck@KarenBassLA qualifies and her vote count plateaus nothing to see here boring
@spencerpratt was surging and so..
The @nithyavraman vote count suddenly spikes
.. while the Bass count remains unchanged
That’s not shady at all.
LA is fucked
🚨🇺🇸The Senate just killed the SAVE Act, 48-50.
Voter ID and proof of citizenship, supported by over 80% of Americans, dead.
Four Republicans voted no: Tillis, Murkowski, McConnell, Collins.
The uniparty showed its face today...
@sean_a_mcclure I'd wager that same person knows someone with all the prestige and credentials who absolutely doesn't deserve it and took someone else's spot
University of California professors are begging schools to reinstate the SAT https://t.co/lgbDurCdpa via @WSJ
How many years of incoming classes of under qualified students were let in?
How many DEI reject high achievers were left behind?
Disgraceful.
The Democratic Party's official X account deleted a post politicizing the deaths of American service members in Iran on Memorial Day after one of its most prominent veteran lawmakers publicly pushed back. The post was one of several made by both liberal… https://t.co/6Av2YaVqv6
@esaagar You’re savvy and informed enough to acknowledge outside influence plays a part in our politics our media etc. why argue that it doesn’t here? @esaagar
The reason why I'm voting for @spencerpratt is simple. My two children are teenagers. For their entire lives, I've driven them past homeless encampments in West LA, Skid Row in DTLA, and tent cities in the valley. They've seen homeless people poop on the shoulder of the 405 freeway and people shooting up in front of houses. Like a broken record, I repeat the same story over and over. "It wasn't like this when I was growing up in the 80s and 90s." But for my kids, this is their "normal." If it got this bad from my time to their time, then what is it going to be like when they're my age?
