California was a ‘lost cause’ even before this election....but you need to admire the landscape. After the election....thousands of court actions will occur, with law suits accusing the system of being rigged, and asking for damages. You can figure that over the next four years, more than 100 billion dollars will be dished out to settle the cases and legal costs. So in effect, they are bankrupting the state prior to the 2024 election.
We still have house seats that were STOLEN in 2018 due to ballot harvesting!! They are trying to steal the special election in the 26th district the pubbie Mike Garcia is way ahead this is the seat that the gal was into 3 ways and posted on FB!!
Why can’t it be challenged before the election? Federal election law mandates the date of the election. Perhaps the courts have ruled on this since many states have “rolling elections”. But the election is the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November.
Of course, after the fact, all kinds of lawsuits will fly. CA courts have a lot of precedent for open records. Would be interesting to cross check all the mail in ballots with the at the polls ballots - and see how many new felons the state is willing to create for double voting.
Ballot harvesting is a whole other issue. If you cannot campaign near a polling place, why are you allowed to go into someone’s house and help them “fill out their ballot”?
