Did anyone really expect any less than this ? I didn't. In fact Im actually kind of happy about it in a way. Let L.A/ Cali get what it fully deserves. Let it slowly degenerate into Gary Indiana and Flint Michigan. The answer isn't to actually stop the fraud,.....that's n ot going to happen there, it just isn't,....the answer is to simply sit back and let them hang themselves. Allow them to destroy they're own city and state. In the end justice ALWAYS comes,...and it will there too. They wont like what it looks like,....at all. Tough shit.

What's funny is that the harder the Democrats try to deny there's questionable, squirrelly, stuff going on with the voting in California the more people believe there is questionable, squirrelly, stuff going on with the voting in California. At this point I think Maduro was holding more honest elections in Venezuela than the Democrats are holding in California.
There are 2 Dems and 2 Repugs at every stage of the counting. There is no time when a person could cheat. Tell us how the cheating could happen.
Poll watchers are supposed to enhance transparency and deterrence but they do not create an airtight guarantee against fraud.
Not every site, shift, or step (e.g., chain of custody for ballots in transit, central counting facilities, or off-site processing) has full simultaneous observation. Watchers can be rotated out, fatigued, or excluded if facilities reach capacity or rules are applied unevenly. Late shifts or sudden changes can reduce effective oversight.
Watchers detect visible issues but depend on honest poll workers, chain-of-custody logs, signatures, audits, and post-election canvassing. Collusion, procedural violations, errors, or hidden actions (e.g., duplicate scanning, improper ballots) can evade notice if not caught in real time.
In large urban centers with high mail/absentee volume, central counting, and extended hours, full real-time monitoring of every ballot is logistically impossible.
Ballots recorded after in-person Election Day votes often shift tallies in Democrat-leaning areas. This pattern occurred in 2020 in places like Atlanta (Fulton County/State Farm Arena), Detroit (TCF Center), Milwaukee, and Philadelphia.
Ballots arriving late (USPS drops), stored, transported, or processed in batches create windows for insertion, duplication, or manipulation before or during counting. Watchers might miss issues in high-volume central counts and kept in unsecured storage.
In the ongoing 2026 Los Angeles Mayoral primary (June 2 primary, with counting continuing as of June 8), poll watchers and observers do not eliminate fraud risks, particularly around late mail ballot processing that has massively shifted results.
California law now allows ballots postmarked by Election Day to arrive up to 7 days later. LA County processes and reports them in batches over days/weeks.
LA County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk allows election observers (including partisan ones) at Vote Centers on Election Day and at the central Ballot Processing Center in City of Industry. The tally room has a glass enclosure.
Limitations persist:
- Numbers and access: Limited slots; observers watch but cannot interfere, handle ballots directly, or be everywhere at once. Central high-volume processing of thousands of mail ballots involves signature verification, extraction, tabulation, and batching—full real-time scrutiny of every envelope/ballot is impractical.
- Chain of custody and late arrivals: Ballots arrive via USPS/drop boxes over days, get stored/queued, then processed. Windows exist for issues (e.g., signature mismatches, provisional ballots, chain breaks) even with observers. Late drops favor one side due to voter behavior, not necessarily fraud.
- Scale: LA County is massive. Mail ballots dominate; incremental reporting creates optics of "dumps." Watchers can flag irregularities (e.g., access disputes, unusual patterns), but detection relies on logs, audits, and officials' integrity. Procedural lapses (as in past cycles) can slip through easily.
California's current universal mail ballots expand access but increase attack surfaces (harvesting, forgery, backdating) compared to stricter ID/Election Day rules.
Stronger measures (real-time observer access, same-day processing where feasible, risk-limiting audits, voter ID for mail) could bolster confidence without partisan bias. Public trust hinges on verifiable transparency regardless of who benefits from late counts.
