An extremely corrupt system for voting…. Why we stand for it I do not know….

Corrupt because your choice didn’t win? Show proof of corruption. Or is it just a “feeling”?

Republicans never win in CA… that is not a good way to run a state… as you can see…

Laughable

Just because a republican can’t win in California someone’s cheating?

Where’s the proof? Sounds like sour grapes to me.

Really, Republicans never win in California ? We all know that’s a lie. I guarantee the people who will not win are those being endorsed by the dotard. Gnnna be a lot of MAGA tears flowing this year. Buckle up snowflakes

Ram, can you highlight what you do not like about our process, or better yet explain the fixes you’d like to see? Making, legal, voting easier and secure, should be a shared goal by all patriots. I am open for improvement.

What a scam that Los Osos parcel tax is, and the people there were taken in by it. The school district smiles. They are about to sell property they don’t own to the people who already own it. Next year the school district will want a new parcel tax to buy back the elementary school because they need it for something. Certainly not for education. They obviously don’t do that here anymore. So, each agency gets $185 per parcel in alternating years in perpetuity.

Amazing, that these very late ballots, that simply appear long after election night, seems always to favor the left.


Good thing Newsom signed bills that prohibit checking the highly suspicious reasons why….right democrats?

Become educted and stopping spreading bullshit. https://calmatters.org/politics/2026/05/california-ballot-seizure-law/

I will never be “educted”. You can’t make me!


All I have, is this:


AB-73–


• Prohibiting any person from providing unauthorized access, disruption, modification, or seizure of voter rolls, voter lists, or certified voting technology to law enforcement agents — including federal agents — absent a court order or investigation into specific violations of California election law.


• Restricting peace officers from interfering with election administration or disrupting election workers carrying out their duties, except in urgent public safety emergencies.


• Requiring the California Department of Justice to issue guidance to county election officials on how to respond to requests from law enforcement seeking access to areas where ballots are cast, processed, or handled.


• Increasing protections against illegal removal or seizure of voted ballots and establishing criminal penalties for knowingly taking ballots from election officials.


Now, why would democrats need any of this, when they say the elections are above board and above reproach? If everything is fine and dandy, why not allow an outside party to see all the clean votes, updated voter rolls, highly transparent ballot harvesting, and the absolute lack of black curtains surrounding the openly observable counting?


See what I did there? Yep, me is e.d.u.c.a.t.e.d.

Why would any party want this piece of legislation? Because when you have dolts like Bianco willing to be a part of trumps bullshit voting narrative. https://www.kqed.org/news/12080702/internal-emails-show-how-fringe-groups-fueled-sheriff-chad-biancos-ballot-seizure

Some people mailed their ballots the day of the election, not necessarily the smart thing to do, but it happens. How come no one’s jumping up and down about the post office workers doing their job better or faster, those workers don’t need anymore pressure than what they already have dealing with. the ton of mail that comes in

and goes everyday in this town.
