California Democrats rewrite the voting rules in their favor
Orange County Register ^ | December 1, 2018 | By SHAWN STEEL

Posted on 12/04/2018 12:50:57 PM PST by Jim Robinson

Election night was painful for California Republicans, but it was nothing compared to the slow torture we’ve endured ever since.

For three agonizing weeks, Republicans have watched registrars update their tallies with late absentee and provisional ballots. From Orange County to the Bay Area, it’s the same story playing out with different candidates: Democrats flipping seats with late ballots.

First, Mimi Walters. Then, Young Kim. Now, David Valadao.

It’s not unusual for late absentee and provisional ballots to break against Republicans. What is unusual is the scale of the carnage. As of this writing, Republicans lost election night leads for five members of Congress, three state Assembly races, two state Senate seats and a Board of Equalization candidate.

Even the Associated Press was caught off-guard by late ballot counting. It has called California’s 21st Congressional District for Republican incumbent David Valadao only to retract its decision three weeks later. If the independent organization “which sets the standard for calling races across the journalism industry” is getting races wrong, something’s changed in California.

Legislative Democrats have rewritten election rules in their favor to expand voter eligibility, automatically register every voter, eliminate voting integrity laws and encourage questionable campaign tactics, such as ballot harvesting.

California has entered an era of near universal suffrage with illegal immigrants, felons, inmates and minors registering to vote. San Francisco now allows “people in the country illegally and other noncitizens the right to vote in a local election,” according to the Associated Press. The city has spent at least $310,000 in tax dollars to register 49 non-citizens to vote.

The old saying goes: The way California goes, so goes the nation. The Republicans had two years to develop a voter ID requirement that could pass Supreme Court scrutiny but failed to do so because of the cesspool. It’s probably too late to do that before 2020 now.

This state needs outside help. No way anyone can vote these communists out. They can, have and will do whatever they want.

"California is already basically a one-party state. The state government is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Democrat party/leftist media cabal.

Even so Republicans never seem to make this an issue or demand or expect an investigation.

If they can't do it locally the national Republican party should be screaming bloody murder to call attention to what's going on.

===============================================

Agreed.

The state seats are one thing, but now this is election "re-engineering" with regards to federal seats. It has implications for the whole country.

And just wait until the 2020 Presidential election!

This is our national "Whaddaya gonna do about it?" moment, brought to you by the KKKalifornia KKKrat bullies.

If we don't do anything about it, the 2020 election is gone.

You might as well not even bother voting.

Could they not simply declare that it’s impossible to determine whether California’s federal elections represent the will of the federally eligible voters of the state and simply ignore them? Refuse to seat their representatives?

Correct.

Chances that the RINOs in the US CONgress will do that? Zero, like our last "prezemdint".

Paul Ryan is a cheese-eating surrender monkey.

To quote the guests/Rebecca Mansour on her and Joel Pollock’s radio show about this earlier in the week..

“So why the heck did President Trump renew cousin Romney as RNC chair after she did NOTHING at all to prevent this in California (as well as the rest of the 2018 fumble)”?

The only way to stop it for Federal election is for the Federal government to force sensible laws across the entire nation.

Who in the federal government is going to craft, pass, and implement such laws? The spineless Republicans held Congress and the White House for the last two years, and never did a thing about it.

The entire system is broken. There are no political solutions available to us. The People are being forced to push the reset button, or surrender the republic.

I am not arguing with you on that. And with democrats controlling the house then things can only get a lot worse.

You are so right. What’s happening,in this state, is not what it means to be a part of our republic. A rogue state cannot be allowed and should be dealt with sooner than later.

Imagine how bad it will be in 2020 if something isn’t done.

I understand that what you describe is the current situation. That is why I was proposing an alternate approach.

The federal government has been monitoring voting in the southern states and Texas for 50 years, to make sure federal voting laws were obeyed. Why is California not under such scrutiny? They are suppressing the vote of millions of conservatives by allowing illegal voting to kill conservative votes. In federal elections, the federal government has the right to monitor how the elections are conducted. Republicans should start suing CA IMMEDIATELY because even the laziest fool in the GOP should be able to see what will happen in 2020 following this template.

And it won’t only be in CA. Watch for the Democrat controlled legislatures in states such as PA to follow this plan to annihilate the Republican Party.

this is what I think is happening...lots of theses ballots are people voting outside there districts election night you find out the vote count then have the ballots filled out to be divided up and used to flip the districts you lost...a lot of theses ballots are from voters that left the state. were not declared dead when they died or from individuals that got signed up at the DMV with motor voter and have a history of not voting in elections.

Coming to 49 other states soon.

Ballot harvesting was a stroke of genius. They go get people to vote Dem & bring the ballots to the election authorities.

Any sane person or business owner should have left California long ago.

In some cases both candidates were democrat because “we” voted to change the primary rules. Also we can no longer vote for a write in or third party because there is no way to do that on the ballot.

California no longer has a “republican form of government” as the Constitution demands.

Some form of “petition for redress of grievances” is in order, to provide “a decent respect to the opinions of mankind”.

We of course know the reality is that the Left is cheating because their sole aim is to acquire power.

So now what?

Don’t wait for them to secede. Evict them from the Union. Recognize Mexican sovereignty over their former territory, wrongfully wrested from their control. Then build a wall around it, and boot their Senatorial and Congressional delegation out of Washington. This is a sickness, and it’s catching.
