Previously we have talked about the ballot count in California’s primary. Late arriving ballots always inflate Democratic totals at the expense of Republican candidates. Counting will continue until key Republicans no longer sit in the first two finishing spots. Then counting will end.
Some will claim that Republicans are more likely to vote in person than Democrats. While that may be true, it would seem that this would not have much impact in a state where 90% of the people are mailing in their ballots. Is the argument now that Democrats are holding onto their ballots until the last minute and then sending them in?
Does this holding of ballots affect all Democratic voters or just those within a specific ideology of the Democratic Party? I ask this question since there has been a very obvious shifting of where votes were going after Election Day in the LA mayoral race.
Note that this is a graph of what happened to vote totals after Election Day.
Jeff Childers notes:
Yesterday, the New York Times, with barely restrained glee, reported, “Democrat Secures Second L.A. Mayor Spot and Ends Spencer Pratt’s Run.” Social media wildfires are burning over the totally believable once-in-a-lifetime statistical miracle in mail-in balloting —another one!— that has launched far-left socialist candidate Nithya “Noodle” Raman from so far in last place she’d already given her concession speech to second place overall. Happily for Democrats, this last-minute magical-ballot turnaround has vaporized scrappy Spencer Pratt, the only Republican in the race.
Of course, the race is not over as ballots continue to arrive. What? The election was a week ago. How can ballots still be arriving?
According to the NYTimes, Spencer Pratt was “undone by the voters who were holding their ballots, waiting for the last shoe to drop.” This is perfectly normal. It happens all the time. In fact, most voters hold their ballots and wait.
Really? So, which group of voters were holding their ballots until the end? The statistically impossible rise of Nithya Raman is just that…impossible. Looking at the chart above, it would appear that Raman voters were the ones waiting until the end to cast their ballots. That is a pretty select group of voters.
Let’s be reminded that Raman entered the race at the last minute, had an abysmal performance in a single debate, has no yard signs or bumper stickers, no rallies, and did virtually no campaigning. Yet we are told to believe that some magical rite created a ground swell of support at the last possible moment. If so, what was it? Why did late-arriving mail favor Raman so much? If these were voters who had given up on Bass, why didn’t her numbers suffer?
Then there are the statistical anomalies in the late arriving ballot drops. In one such drop almost 50,000 ballots were counted. Bass and Raman got the lion’s share of those votes with lesser amounts going to second tier candidates. Not one vote was for Spencer Pratt. How is that possible? The statistical probability of that happening in a batch of votes so large is about as close to zero as one can get.
Then there is this gem from Steve Hilton who is running for governor. Steve Hilton laid out the stunning details of the state’s mail-in voting system during an appearance on Hot Mics with Billy Bush. Hilton broke it down: “It’s NOT just the postmark. YOU CAN HAND-WRITE THE DATE!”
The rule means ballots can be completed and dated by hand after Election Day, then dropped off or collected later, with the handwritten date serving as proof of timeliness when postmarks are missing or illegible. This opens the process to extended harvesting and counting that drags on for days or weeks while the handwritten dates keep the ballots in play.
This is voting fraud on steroids. There are millions of ballots floating around the state. Collect them whatever way you can and submit the ones that help you stay in power. Do not worry about dates since these can be modified to suit your needs.
Ballot harvesting needs to be made illegal throughout the country. All ballots need to be cast no later than Election Day. Ballots received after Election Day need to be discarded. Election month needs to end. Let all ballots be cast on Election Day. If someone has a legitimate reason for an absentee ballot, those ballots need to be obtained by the person who needs it and submitted by the same person no later than Election Day.
