Very few people took notice when far left Governor Jerry Brown signed the changes in AB1921 into law two years ago.
As a result, California lost 7 of its 14 Republican House seats this election cycle.
Ballot harvesting is illegal in most states. In Texas, New York and Pennsylvania they arrest people for ballot harvesting.
Orange County, traditionally a conservative enclave in Southern California turned all blue after Democrats found hundreds of thousands of votes post election day.
Republicans such as Mimi Walters, Dana Rohrabacher and Young Kim were all ahead election night only to lose their races after late ballots were counted.
The amount of mail-in ballots counted in Orange County were unprecedented – a whopping 250,000 ballots were produced in OC as a result of the new “ballot harvesting” law.

There are a lot of Democrat voters (not all I would think) who are fully on board with lawbreaking in the electoral process...
I agree with you...sometimes you want to grab them by the shoulders, shake them and say “THOSE PEOPLE ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS! CAN’T YOU SEE IT?”
It was inevitable when Speaker Gingrich in 1996 wouldn’t fight the theft of the Bob Dornan seat in Orange County. And Majority Leader Trent Lott refused to assist the election challenge in LA against Democrat Mary Landrieu.
All true, but the American people refused to listen to the truth on Nov. 6. They are doomed.
Some county clerks should be prosecuted and sent to jail to set an example nationwide.
it is a shame that we do not have a real FBI or DOJ to investigate matters such as this. Instead they are doing things like entrapment and other political game playing.The FBI will go after the Bundy gang for silly illegal cattle grazing, but voter fraud goes on unchecked.
the FBI is a clown show
This sounds to my foreign ears like something you might encounter in a third world country or back in the Soviet Union. I don’t think our voting procedures in Canada are by any means perfect, but this is an order of magnitude worse than anything I’ve heard about here.
We get our ballots stuffed by a more roundabout system, it’s called public (mis)education. People actually cast the votes that get us our socialist governments. So I guess the left doesn’t feel that challenged to game the system.
Still, what you’re describing in California sounds like an illegal conspiracy operating in plain sight. A severe legal challenge seems in order. Stay away from that ninth circuit though, they short-circuit conservative laws.
And probably all the supposedly close races
I have not heard one word, from a candidate or party official, in OC or the state.
Sooo...just exactly how is it now that illegal immigrants have hijacked the California state Government from its taxpayers..and where are the Feds?
Why any California citizens bother to pay Fed.gov taxes?
“no more America”.....I think thats the general plan
The taxpayers, through their elected representatives, have said this behavior is completely legal.
That's exactly it. Democrats have guaranteed that their party name will win every election, but they haven't guaranteed what kind of candidates are going to win their primaries. If conservatives start winning as Democrats, they are going to have to frantically undo all the mischief they have made and the brainwashing of illegals they have engaged in. Concepts more nuanced than "Vote (D)" are going to be much harder to communicate. :)
“their” elected representatives? The “taxpayers” that have continued to vote for weeks after the election?!!! The one’s required to show ID before ballot cast?
Show me some!!!
The absolutely maddening aspect is that American voters are too incredibly obtuse to know what was happening. Democrats keep voting for the enemy. Republicans often vote for liberal RINOs.
And the objective of all of them is to erase the USA.
(hat tip cotton 1706)
.....keep in mind, vote harvesting schemes have affected (and can affect) only ONE body of the Federal government: the House of Representatives........
- No matter how much vote harvesting they do, it will not affect the Senate (there are already two democrats from California).
-No matter how much vote harvesting they do, it will not affect the Presidency (California’s number of electors is fixed until the next census, and the number of VOTES does not affect electoral allocation).
-No matter how much vote harvesting they do, it will not affect the Courts (California has a say in the population of the courts only through its senators, which are already chosen, and both are already democrats).
- California will likely LOSE representatives after the 2020 census, with illegal immigration being thwarted and a citizenship question likely being on the 2020 census (currently being litigated in court).
POINTS TO PONDER Our system anticipates the craven desire to consolidate power, and intentionally prevents it.
The Left does not like limits to its power, but those limits exist nonetheless! And there’s NOTHING they can do about it!
All the conservatives should either leave CA, or engage in a statewide tax revolt - something along the lines of ‘no taxation w/o representation’
Sound familiar? My reasoning is this: if the vote harvesting is allowed, you can not be assured that you are actually getting represented, so on that grounds alone, it is JUSTIFIED! Also, if all the politicians continually favor and cowtow to the illegals, then they are getting ‘representation (of the illegals) w/o taxation’. That is also grounds for a statewide action.
If the CA voters are not given justice, because it is now a ‘just-us’ branch, they will seek their own justice. That is a difficult genie to put back in the bottle once released. All the pent up RAGE of the patient and respectful (of the system) conservatives will explode on all they those they see as attempting to force an unjust, non-representative tyranny over them.
CA, you need to reverse this course ASAP. Fed Govt, you may have to step in, too. This could be bad. CA libs, do you expect the conservatives/independents/repubs to just allow themselves to be rolled by you while you still confiscate their tax $$ and kiss up to all the illegals you want to get on your voter rolls and have non-dems keep paying for their welfare??
