Judicial Watch: Sues California to Stop Counting of Ballots Received after Election Day – Lawsuit Filed on Behalf of Congressman Darrell Issa
Judicial Watch ^ | 3/13/25 | press release

Posted on 03/14/2025 3:26:33 PM PDT by CFW

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that it filed a federal lawsuit against California on behalf of U.S. Rep. Darrell Issa to prevent state election officials from extending Election Day for seven days beyond the date established by federal law (Darrell Issa v. Shirley N. Weber, in her official capacity). California counts ballots received up to seven days after Election Day.

Judicial Watch argues that California’s election law violates federal law, which defines Election Day as “the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November of every even-numbered year.”

This lawsuit against California builds on an October 25, 2024, Judicial Watch landmark victory against Mississippi, in which the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit found counting ballots received after Election Day contrary to federal law.

The California lawsuit states:

Despite Congress’ unambiguous and longstanding statement regarding a single and uniform national Election Day, California modified and extended Election Day by allowing seven additional days after Election Day for receipt of vote-by-mail ballots.

The lawsuit alleges that ballots arriving after Election Day “change electoral outcomes in California:”

I'm glad Judicial Watch is taking on this challenge. If they could stop at least a portion of the corruption in CA elections, the GOP could at least end up with more representatives in the House.

What could possibly go wrong?

Other than just the right amount of votes showing up to give the Democrat the win?

Yeah, and in these tough times, they’re gonna have to pay overtime to produce the number of ballots they need to overcome any possible Republican lead.

Do you feel their pain?

They’ll just delay counting in red areas and early hit themselves in.

Many of us here at FR watched as the democrats in California slowly stole one House seat after another for the 4 or 5 weeks after the November 5th election.

The GOP was way ahead in at least 8 to 10 seats and those were stolen right before our eyes. Once the Dem candidate had enough votes to pull ahead, they were magically done with counting. For instance, A GOP candidate would be ahead with 95% of the vote counted and then the next day, the percentage would be reset to 87%; just enough votes remaining for the Dem candidate to pull ahead and win.

Years ago, California Democrats perfected the “steal” in California. They then took their act nationwide and have applied the same tactics in other states. Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Michigan come to mind.

The KEY DATE isn't received date but the POSTED DATE by
the Federal Post Office. If the law isn't written in the
correct method then it needs to be changed by the Legal
Authority. JMO

JW does the work that DOJ won’t. Sleepy Bondi is following in the footsteps of sleepy Sessions and bagpipe Barr.

I could be wrong about this but when I think of Judicial Watch I think of internet hits and splashy headlines.

Id be happy to be proven wrong.

Between:

-—> shutting off USAID & NGO funds
-—> prosecuting wholesale cheaters
-—> cleanup of the Social Security Death Index
-—> cleaning state/local voter rolls
-—> auditing state/local compliance in Federal elections
-—> Voter Photo ID
-—> control of the Postal Service
-—> eliminating Federal deadwood staff mischief
-—> BAR CODES on the BALLOTS so they can only be COUNTED ONCE
-—> and why not PURPLE DYE on a finger like when we helped Iraq have free honest elections,

— we have a fighting chance to see this all happen.

For the bad guys, it should indeed feel like an all out assault.

MEANWHILE—we need reform to stop election officials who deceptively write misleading titles to pass bad laws, bonds and referendums and initiatives.

“ MEANWHILE—we need reform to stop election officials who deceptively write misleading titles to pass bad laws, bonds and referendums and initiatives.”

“The inflation reduction act” has got to be one of the biggest lies of all times.

The Constitution delegates each state to determine how to prosecute election DAY. But notice.... the Constitution frames that authorization as ELECTION DAY (for obvious reasoning).

Early voting was to lessen voter bottlenecks at the polls. The states need to establish polls to be open from 1200 AM to 1200 AM election day. How the states manage that is up to them. A day means the whole 24-hour date. Not just during daylight hours when govt. rolls out of bed.
