Thousands of California Democrats cast ballots for Eric Swalwell even though the disgraced ex-congressman’s zombie campaign for governor was suspended after allegations of rape and sexual assault.
With 76% of precincts partially reporting Tuesday night, Swalwell had drawn 16,865 votes, or 0.4%, in the crowded race to succeed Gov. Gavin Newsom, according to the California Secretary of State’s Office.
It’s unclear why so many Californians decided to light their ballots on fire, as the votes amounted to wasted trees in California’s top-two primary, especially after Swalwell suspended his campaign and resigned from Congress after a series of women — including former staffers — accused him of sexual misconduct.
Swalwell, an East Bay Democrat and once-prominent critic of President Trump, suspended his campaign after two bombshell reports by the San Francisco Chronicle and CNN detailed disturbing allegations. Swalwell denied any wrongdoing while admitting to extramartial affairs, calling the incidents “mistakes in judgment.”
The revelations came too late for Swalwell’s name to be removed from the ballot, leaving voters with the option of no fewer than 60 other candidates. And still, almost 17,000 people seemed to have been unaware or unconcerned.
Swalwell did not respond to a request for comment.
After his career imploded, Swalwell installed himself as treasurer for his defunct campaign for governor, giving him full control of a $4 million money pot. Much of that money has since gone to paying his lawyers.

Hey, if the Dems will vote for Graham Platner, voting for creepy scumbag Swalwell is easy.
Thieving and corrupt far-left Californian politicians are quite popular with ignorant Californians.
why not? the dems believe that DJT is a rapist, yet we voted for him...
their delusional tendencies are frightening. truly their are.
Trump Derangement Syndrome on display.
Shows how stupid the voters of California are.
Bad News:
Bass is still winning the primary in Los Angeles for mayor.
Good News:
Hilton is apparently ahead in the primary now for governor.
"California governor’s race: Steve Hilton leads Xavier Becerra in tight race"
And: "A proposed countywide half-cent sales tax increase to fund healthcare services is struggling in early election returns Tuesday night, with voters so far rejecting the measure."
That could change after all the "votes" are counted in 30 days.
It is California. 16,000 ballots could be from the same voter.
This is undeniable proof that way too many of Kalifornia Democrat voters are stuuuuuuuupid.
Most states have a minimum number of petition signatures to get on the ballot, precisely to prevent ballots with dozens of candidates.
#6 The democrats are holding back the count to see how many fake votes they need to cheat to win the election. Countries around the world can count the ballots in one day but not california as run by the democrats.
And the DEMONRATS ALSO VOTED IN AN ISLAMIST in New Jersey!!
I recommend you investigate the massive voter fraud in California. How else do you think Greasy NewSCUM beat two (2) RECALLS that were called while people were still voting and the results were being published? Same voter fraud used in 2020 for FU Biden.

Crank candidates ought to run for lieutenant governor. Nobody cares about who’s lieutenant governor. With all his scandals, Swalwell might have won. Name recognition. No publicity is bad publicity.
Re: Hilton in tight race: This is bad news because the recounts begin until he is down by one vote.

Doesn’t matter, they will count the mail in fraud vote for three weeks. The Hispanic will win, if not in three weeks, then in November in the run off in a landside (see Steve Garvey). It is a done deal. Pasty faced Tom Styer’s 200 million would seemed to have gone down the drain other than the media outlets taking his money and running his BS. Commie has been Jane Fonda’s narrated ads did him no good.
Yes, I well remember Rick Caruso being in the lead in the mayoral race in Los Angeles at the end of election day - as the days went by (OF COURSE) Karen Bass passed him to win after enough fraudulent votes were found.
