@RepSaraJacobs So there is fraud, but just not widespread? Does that make it ok to have a system that permits ballot harvesting, accepts back dated ballots after election day, and counts votes with nothing more than an X for voter signature?

[Michael Pear @TheRealMRPear]

@JDlone42 @dom_lucre Noticed? Anyone running this should have had multiple safety checks by multiple people in their process. Also, the person holding the camera could clearly see the safety rope laying on the ground. What a failure of common sense.

@GavinNewsom Do you think you would have had the political career you've had if you weren't tied to the Getty family and their wealth?

@mattvanswol @lroy479 @BernieSanders Pay a little more, and you can get early boarding. Cheaper than private jets, and better for the climate you claim is in crisis.

@DefiantLs Now she's a psychologist? Or did she pick this analysis ability as a bartender?

[Michael Pear @TheRealMRPear]

@RoKhanna Stop with the wealth tax on unrealized gains. You are just looking for a way to get this going with the wealthy then you'll subject us all to a wealth tax.

[Michael Pear @TheRealMRPear]

@okay_youreright Subsidies? Or contracts to pay for launch services?

[Michael Pear @TheRealMRPear]

@RoKhanna Democrats have proven to poor stewards of our tax dollars. The exposed fraud in government programs for healthcare, education, snap, homeless, and more show us how little you care.

[Michael Pear @TheRealMRPear]

Unless I missed something, this was for services rendered. What other way do astronauts and supplies get to the space station? How many defense satellites have been launched by SpaceX? You can argue with whether the government should have spent the money on those things, but not that SpaceX was "subsidized" by tax dollars.

@Liz_Wheeler Sounds like these voters need to "cure" their ballots, which is supposedly why CA has such a long window of vote counting. Hope they do.

@bobbithetabby @JonathanTurley Got it...you can admire some attributes of an evil organization while ignoring its most heinous crimes.

[Michael Pear @TheRealMRPear]

@RachelBitecofer What made Pratt MAGA? Common sense? A desire to fix problems rather than perpetuate them? Please, enlighten us.

[Michael Pear @TheRealMRPear]

@GovPressOffice Not as bad a case as those of us that live in CA and have come to expect corruption and incompetence from the CA gavernment, with you contributing with forced mail in ballots, ever increasing taxes, and turning a blind eye to massive fraud.

[Michael Pear @TheRealMRPear]

@harryjsisson Pratt represented a force for change in LA against incompetent entrenched politicians. This isnt a loss for MAGA or Trump. It is a loss for LA. In the end, let's see who is laughing.

[Michael Pear @TheRealMRPear]

@jenlynncallahan Looks like LA politics returning to normal. LA residents will get more of the same incompetence, but they voted for it.

@jaketapper Here is a post regarding CA's signature verification process. You tell me why we shouldn't believe cheating is happening.

Wildest takeaways from my time at the Ballot Processing Center today.

✍🏻 Signatures only need to be 40% accurate (!) this is the setting the machines are set at for LA County (called the ASV)

🗳️ The last two drops disproportionately supported Raman. Are those coming from specific neighborhoods since they’re such an anomaly? Or are the neighborhoods pretty spread out that you count from on a given day? “We’re not sure.”

💌 If you’re unable to sign, you can make a “mark” like a dot or slash instead of signing. A witness then signs below.

I asked them how they verify these signatures. Turns out, they simply don’t.

Well, you must check the witness signatures, right? “No, we don’t.”

So what if I stole a ballot, made a dash by the person’s name, and signed my name? “You shouldn’t do that, but in theory it would be counted,” they said.

How many of these “marked” ballots get in per election? “We don’t know,” they said.

Ripe for fraud, no?

Those of us living in CA having to put up with this crap know what you say is BS. Mandatory mail in ballots were pushed on us during the pandemic. And rules for returning ballots were relaxed. Excuses for the slow counting of ballots like signature verification arose due to the increase in mail in ballots. This wouldn't be an issue if we had optional mail in voting and voter ID at polling stations. CA created a system that is slow and easily abused.

@BuzzPatterson @lroy479 @ChadBianco 50% only applies to LA Mayoral race. Governor primary is top 2, and fortunately Steyer was below expectations from polls. Hopefully, Bianco voters wont skip November and will vote for Hilton.

[Michael Pear @TheRealMRPear]

@Newsforce @MacyGunnell Democrats only follow Machivelllian principles, so this is expected. Call Trump a Nazi, but then throw your support behind a real one.
