Unfortunately, it will be a while before anything changes. Although grassroots groups like We the People Orange County and local California Republican Assembly clubs are having an impact in local politics such as school board races, the state GOP is run by country club types in the Willkie-Dewey-Rockefeller-Ford tradition, and we continue to put out weak candidates for statewide offices. Last year, for example, the GOP standard bearer for the US Senate seat now occupied by Adam Schiff hardly campaigned at all, and he shunned the MAGA movement.
So far, no strong GOP candidates have emerged for next year's gubernatorial election. But there is one bright spot--a proposition to bring back voter ID is circulating, has strong support, and may be on the ballot next year.
Voter ID, of course, should be required. However, ballot harvesting is the real culprit and the Dems now have that machine well oiled.
Nigh impossible to beat.
