Democrats steal another election: LA.

The LA mayor’s race was a three way race, with the top two qualifying for the runoff election. Incumbent Mayor Karen Bass and City Council member Nithya Raman are projected to advance to the November 2026 runoff election for Los Angeles mayor, defeating reality TV star Spencer Pratt in the primary.

 

Mail-ins arriving before Election Day:
🔵 Bass: 38.1%
🔴 Pratt: 27.9%
🔵 Raman: 20%

Mail-ins arriving after Election Day:
🔵 Raman: 37% (+17% surge)
🔵 Bass: 34.9% (-3% drop)
🔴 Pratt: 19% (-9% drop)

 

3rd place jumps to 1st in *every* ballot drop *after* Election Day

ChatGPT can’t find a single example of a 3rd place candidate surging, days AFTER Election Day, to overtake 2nd place.

Florida counts 90% of ballots in 1 hour. California is at 72% after 5 DAYS.

“Late votes are disproportionately for Democrats” struck me as believable. “Late votes are disproportionately for whichever Democrat needs to come in 2nd to keep a Republican out of a two-man runoff” is not.

Trump responded to the impossible results coming in after election day, writing, “No way this could have happened. Rigged Election!”

How fringe is Raman? She campaigned with the Jew hating, Al-Qaida-loving, leftist podcaster Hasan Piker, who said the U.S. deserved 9/11.

34 of 47 European counties completely forbid the practice of mail in voting … They’re way to the political left of the US.

So yeah, there probably was a lot of fraud. Any time you mail out 23 million ballots, you can expect a considerable number of them to be filled out and returned by someone other than an intended registered voter. I understand that the U.S. Attorney’s office in Los Angeles is trying to look into the situation, but the same shoddy practices that make fraud easy also make it hard to prove.

California’s voting system is designed for cheating. By Bill Essayli, First Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California:

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) …

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. …

California is blocking a federal audit of its voter rolls. …

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 [Federal AG] 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?

How long has this been going on? Well:

NOVEMBER 30, 2010: Four weeks after losing the election as AG of CA, Kamala Harris wins due to mail-in surge from LA. Harris won by less than 1%.

Election stealing by the spooks, by BDW:

Fmr CIA officer here. Let me share how elections get stolen — and the role of intel agencies.

We all know that the CIA and NSA create and execute clandestine operations that are designed to go undetected. That ranges from recruiting human spies, tapping phone systems, and altering devices of all kinds. Yes, that necessarily includes voting machines.

The CIA and NSA have teams to execute all of these operations and missions at the direction of a President, even those ops that are deemed impossible… like machines locked in rooms that are inside secure facilities, unhooked from the internet or whatever device that could tether them to the outside world.

Those tough intel operations require extensive planning, exquisite trade craft, supporting operations (HUMINT, SIGINT, MASINT), and a degree of luck.

For many years, everything that I’m saying was understood by both Democrats and Republicans on Capitol Hill.

Historic footage from Congressional hearings show both Ds and Rs saying that they were alarmed about voting systems with so-called “unhackable machines.” They knew then — correctly — that such a suggestion or claim was ridiculous. They were briefed by NSA and CIA teams on how they “hack the unhackable” every month without leaving a trace.

This is why Taiwan and others are resolute on conducting elections the old fashioned way: same day voting only, in person, IDs, paper ballots, a counting process that is open to the public to watch and monitor, and results announced that same night.

If Taiwan can do it with ~24M people, any US state can do it. Refusal to do so is an intentional choice to open your electoral systems to vulnerabilities.

That’s what we’re now seeing across the United States, and primarily in Democrat-dominated locales. Including Los Angeles. Those politicians choose broken systems.

California’s ~30 day process to tally votes is obviously and intentionally vulnerable that a reasonable person understands that it allows for manipulation and assured electoral outcome by a dominant power (Democrats, in this case).

And like any good intel op, you do it such that there are no fingerprints left behind — whether that be with machines, mail-in ballots, harvested ballots, etc. If you own the ops environment, anything is possible.

Still, mistakes happen in any op. In the event of disclosure, you do what we often see Democrats and the media do: deny, smear, and make counter-accusations to preserve intentionally broken systems.

Folks, this is not about Spencer Pratt. This is about the future of what’s left of our Republic.

Evil, seditious forces have broken our electoral systems and gained great power using them. Mayor Bass is but one, using the machine that her Democrat Party has built to sustain her and Leftist power. It’s the modern, Golden State version of old Chicago, NJ, or Huey Long corruption.

They will deny it, obviously. Because admission means loss of power, money, and likely prison time. There’s no incentive for them to clean up what’s broken.

Bottom line: Mr. Pratt’s earnest desire to run a righteous race to fix his city faces long odds. He didn’t just run against Karen Bass. He ran against a corrupt machine.

But if nothing else, he has shown his fellow Angelinos and the nation that, once again, we have an existential problem in our electoral system with intentional vulnerabilities and electoral fraud that naturally flows from the brokenness.

Now it’s up to the rest of us to fix it.

There are solutions, none easy or polite. But we must do so — and by whatever means necessary — or the Republic falls to Communists and Cuba-trained agitators like Karen Bass.

UPDATE: Wall Street Journal editorial:

President Trump’s charge that Democrats “rigged” California’s jungle primary has naturally elicited eye-rolls given his habit of crying fraud whenever he loses an election. But he has a point that the state’s Democrats have designed a leaky election system to juice their votes. …

California sends mail-in ballots to all registered voters who have until Election Day to send them back. … The state also lets third parties including unions, campaigns and political parties collect and return an unlimited number of ballots on voters’ behalf—a practice known as ballot harvesting. This can result in large dumps of mail-in ballots that support a particular candidate. …

Democrats legislated election rules to make it exceptionally easy to register and vote with the intent of boosting turnout among young and low-propensity voters who lean left. But these rules also create openings for fraud and improper voting….

Federal prosecutors last month indicted a California woman for paying homeless people on Skid Row to register using her former address, meaning ballots would be sent there. She agreed to plead guilty. …

A woman from Orange County, Calif., was charged last fall with illegally registering her dog to vote and submitting ballots on the canine’s behalf. One ballot was counted, the other was tossed. The fraud was caught because the woman reported herself. …

There’s no evidence so far that fraud has affected the results of the L.A. mayoral race, but the delayed results are a disservice to democracy. The state’s loose voting rules and dilatory counting fuel distrust in elections, and play into the hands of Mr. Trump. You’d think Gov. Gavin Newsom would care about this, but as long as progressives are winning, maybe not.
