Former President Barack Obama and California Governor Gavin Newsom are urging Californians to vote in favor of Proposition 50, a ballot measure that would replace the state’s independent redistricting system with a legislature-approved map projected to eliminate several Republican-held congressional districts.

And flooding the whole country with 20 million illegals who get a drivers license who then become voters who then work on the fake mail in ballots was not stealing seats?
Driving licenses that read “No Name Given” to boot.
Barry a member of a party that wants to Steal EVERYTHING
Coming from IL, Obama knows a thing or two about stealing seats and rigging elections.
I still want to know WHO pushed Obama into the Presidency
This middling, choom-gang, unaccomplished hack has been a DEI candidate since he entered Columbia University.
He rose quickly up, through the deep-state ranks, achieved nothing at each level, but quickly moved on to the next higher stage.
Perhaps some day it will all come to light.
Pro pro pro pro projection!
Well, of course that is what he is going to say. He probably believes it. He was not raised on the rule of law or the constitution, our form of government, laws and orders not even the declaration
He is a third world dictator who hasn’t and will never concede power
He turned this country into a third world dictatorship and we’re struggling to get it back. Just go to Miami airport. Whoa
They’ll push this congressional districting lie which btw the democrats have thrived on cheating and stealing Congress, and the anti MAGAs will believe it
It’s FIFTY million...
F you berry, hate the colors that you claim to be and represent equally. Including mine that are completely delusional and don’t see how much hate in your heart
It was the WEF. Notice that he did not ever attend a Davos WEF meeting but his underlings did. Keeping his distance so he could have plausible deniability if news of the connection came out. He was groomed by the WEF, same as Justin Trudeau was.
We know. That’s why we want to restore it back to a Republic. You know. Like it says on our flag.
Turn them in by hand to your County Clerk’s office. Don’t mail them in. Or better yet. Vote on election day.

The Peter principle has been re-tooled as the Obambi principle.
Has anyone or anything he endorsed ever won? I remember a front runner in Maryland imploded once Lord Zero endorsed him....
