California’s slow ballot count a symptom: The state can’t do anything
New York Post ^ | June 5, 2026

California’s slow ballot count isn’t just a political disgrace. It’s also a symbol of how California does everything: late, if at all.

The high-speed rail was approved in 2008, to connect San Francisco to Los Angeles by 2020. Not one inch of track has been laid. The Sites reservoir was originally proposed in the 1950s. It was only approved this year, and nothing has been built.

The Delta tunnels were proposed decades ago. Now the project is down to just one tunnel, and it may never be dug.

Democrats need corruption, post election ballet counting to survive.

“The state can’t do anything “

Wrong. They can steal elections.

And Hilton.

They both will come in third.

It’s literally in our face corruption.

AND NO ONE WILL DO ANYTHING. Period.

The first pic in the article pretty much explains it. Not exactly Mission Control from the moon landing.

The state can’t do anything without cheating.

The author misses something very important about the Sites Reservoir. Its finding was approved by the voters in 2014. Several years ago Newsom signed a directive supposedly putting it under expedited procedures to exempt it from red tape. Still the lawsuits have flowed. It actually looks like construction may indeed begin next year, a mere 13 years after approval. It would hold 1.5 million acre feet, nominally enough water for 6 million people

Anything that helps the California Democrat/Communist Party maintain its tight-fisted control over the state infrastructure and its Liberty-crushing tyranny over the 39.5 million subjects (formerly called "citizens") who live here is doing everything it is designed to do. Clearly no one dare try to stop it lest they be crushed by this truly savage political machine of which the New-Scum is a mere figurehead ... a potent, though completely unprincipled, caricature of a "leader".

By the time the money gets what it’s supposed to pay for, there is often nothing left.

t goes like this: If you ask a Democrat to fix the pool, the Democrat responds: “We need consultants, historians, DEI aquatic equity advisors, a 9-month environmental impact meditation, and an interpretive plaque about water as contested space.”

Trump responds: “Is the pool [messed] up? Call pool guys.”

there is a proverb that upright citizens make for a prosperous city.

instead of complaining, BE an upright citizen and teach others.

Right, the NYP is doing their best to deflect from the obvious. Dismissing this as incompetence is a ruse to obscure what the truth is. We are watching brazen and shameless election theft in real time.

“California’s slow ballot count isn’t just a political disgrace.”

Yes it is. It is a continual effort to change the outcome of an election by “finding ballots” or “changing” results. It has been going on for generations. Washington state does the same thing. Florida had it’s ballots counted up to 99% a few hours after the close of the polls. Calironia had 60% done at the same time frame and were not counting all night as the counting areas were, almost” empty with just a few people getting access to the votes. That in itself is suspicious.

the reason we have this problem is we didn’t teach citizenship.

We taught them to look to government to solve problem. or to just sit and bitch like you.
