Been ranting about this for years!

SCRAP all e-voting machines and go back to all hand marked and hand counted paper ballots and poll books. Cannot be hacked and never crashes.

Thats what I was thinking. Tgey are cutting deals with Michelle Steel. Gunderson was ahead and still is at OC Votes the OC registrars website. Baugh lost by 10k votes, but Steve Garvey won in the OC, and Trump lost? I dont think so. That kind of split ticket doesnt make sense.

Just saw that Michelle Steel conceded. Unbelievable!

just a stray thought here... maybe government is like a really bad employee, it's more work to get it to do its job than it's worth. You would do better to do it yourself!

On top of that, half the time it is just stealing your stuff... you need to watch it every minute!

On the other hand, if you can find a good employee they're worth their weight in gold!

Trashing government is understandable, but when that just results in privatizing services you find you are even worse off.

Hats off to those hardy communities that can survive on their own, without government participation.

In 2012 I did some poll watching volunteer work in a SoCal UC area. In the morning I was asigned to a poll in the UC area and afternoon about 12 miles away with no UC student life. The morning, way to early for the average student to drag arses out of bed still had about a dozen showing up requesting provisional ballots. My morning watch ended at 11 am and not sure of the number of provisional ballot requests were after. Since only a couple until about 9:30 am and the rest closer to 11 my guess would be a tidy sum.

The afternoon poll location not in the UC area only had a couple of provisional ballot requests with one requestor even offering proof of her recent move.

In CA where there is such a high number of higher ed provisional ballots distribution needs to be reformed since temp living students can have a large effect on voting especially for local voting issues and cabdidates.

Paper ballots only, counted at the poll site with observation and voter ID would go along way as well as eliminating drop boxes that seemed prepped and ready to go for the 2020 lockdown shenanigans granted to the states via CARES act funds.

Totally ridiculous and another reason I have lost all faith and trust in anything to do with the government...any of them.

Amen sister! I am over here in Amador where we also had a high voting rate. They are still counting votes also. They claimed that two ballots came from other counties, one being Humbolt?? This state is a joke at this point, and the problem is, the jokes on us.

There is a group coming into this area (Eastern Sierra) called "Sierra Jobs First", which I read up on today. They are trying to strangle our counties with DEI/climate mandates and such. Have you heard of them? If not, look them up and read their "Regional Summary Report" it's very telling. They are making a move on Sutter Creek right now.

Good work as always. Check out

Unite4freedom.com . I’ve been involved with election integrity groups for 4 years. Great effort has been made to make our elections reliable. This group caught my attention because of the way they have approached accountability. I’ve attended their weekly study sessions and am involved with presenting their resolution to our local officials. I believe they are worth your attention. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

Bragging rights. I used to be able to put my lips together and blow smoke rings out each side of my mouth. Not a marketable talent for sure, but still. (Dragon lady)

I no longer smoke but your picture jogged a memory. LOL

Agree. No electronic voting. Definitely Voter ID. I have to show my idea even if I withdraw $20.00 or any cash from a bank. Make voting day a national holiday.

I remember as a little kid knowing who won the presidential election by the time I got up the following day. They only had paper ballots. We shouldn’t have to wait a month to get results in any state now.

Reinette you made me laugh re your comment about the counters doing up dobbies while countiong votes. . Perhaps if they did, they would be able to become part of the new paradigm now unfolding . Can only pray these "normies" wil see the light.

We all know our communist--inspired California governance needs to be overhauled and with our due dilegence we will make it occur. We cannot be defeated as Higher Forces ride with us.
