The SLOC Clerk-Recorder is REEEEEtarded.


Cheating is hard work.


WE’RE WATCHING ALL OF THIS!


How do nearly 10,000 ballots, suddenly appear two days AFTER election day?


Who wants to bet, an astonishing number of them will be for the leftist candidates?


Setting my calendar for February 2033 for a final vote total. This is a joke.


It’s not that hard……The door is wide open at the elections office, get off your keyboard for a few hours and bring evidence of cheating you lazy…….. And when you find none, come back and tell everyone what a……….you are.

Put up or shut up basically.


Down votes here from our very own election-deniers. Who would have thought?


They don’t harvest ballots or stuff ballot boxes at the elections office. They do that at the nursing homes, the homeless centers and housing, the drop off boxes, etc – duh!…


And the validation process is entirely subjective, and skewed to NOT reject ballots with dubious bonafides. Voter ID and in-person voting is much more transparent and tamper resistant, but they, and apparently YOU, don’t want transparency and tamper resistance.


Oh, and the gerrymandering and jungle primaries designed solely to disenfranchise the opposition and ensure election victory rather than election integrity.


Commiefornia cheating! SICK and tired of IT


400 plus vote swing with the mail in ballots. The D machine just looks at the tally and discovers the needed ballots after election day. California is a mess and the now the partisan County Clerk is in on the fix.


Now? She’s been their ringer.


Bullshit.


Why aren’t you done counting yet?… cheating is wrong and you will not get away with it this time… people know what’s going on….


What’s going on?

Do you not realize that a lot of people either voted or dropped their mail ballots off on Tuesday. So that takes a little time to get it all pulled together, don’t you think?

If you think you can do faster maybe you should run for the job?


Because they still are counting votes that came in late. Simple as that.

Who wins will deterring who will whine about cheating.

Adults and most people are tired about the tantrums. People need to remember what mom and dad told them. Pull up your big boy pants and move on.


They are not done counting because a ballot dropped into the mailbox on election day takes time to get picked up, sorted by the post office, delivered to the downtown SLO clerks office,, counted, and reported. A lot of people voted that way on election day.


We could change this system, require mailed ballots to be dropped off by the previous week, but that has the tradeoff of making voting harder for rural citizens and it would force many people to make decisions before the campaign ends.


Maybe I don’t know what’s “going on”. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Accusing your opponent of cheating or bribing the refs every single time you lose, without evidence, is sour grapes at best.


Bill Essayli and Harmeet Dhillion are here in So Cal calculating fraud charges. Stay tuned…


“Dhillon


I have no clue who these two goofballs are. But I can guess they are a couple of stooges similar to Sidney Powell and Mike Lindell. Let the Clown Show Begin!


Toothless mojado is more like it.


What’s going on?

A lot of people drop off their ballot last minute on the day of the election and some got mailed so it takes a while to get all that together.

If they’re cheating prove it.


“Somehow,” in California, the left-wing candidates always float to the top.
