I worked at one of the polling centers for three days in California last week. There are many controls in place to guard against election fraud. Mail-in ballots take longer to count because the signatures have to be verified. That's why we were asking voters to use the "scan and go" voting machine which counts their ballot in a matter of seconds before they leave the polling center. The "voter fraud" is an absolute lie. Liars create the illusion of truth by repeating lies over and over. That is exactly what the Republicans are trying to accomplish.

As a Californian, I have entire confidence in the election integrity. Maybe the GOP should stop running incompetent candidates!

Mary, Reading your observations is always like a shot of fresh air. I am glad you gave over your

professional life to getting and spreading the goods on the political sphere.

Your clear background on the details of the issues before us is so helpful to those of us sinking in the cesspool of wtf. Thank you girl. You rock.

Anyone who has seen the California elections processing knows it is extremely accurate and transparent. They check signature and registration before counting ballots. They process up to 20 million votes accurately and efficiently. People who wish to observe the process are allowed in to watch.

Trump and his maga friends are weak, unethical people who can’t face up to losing. Despite their low intelligence we should never underestimate their desire to win by ruthless lying and cheating, and claiming they have evidence which never stands up to scrutiny. I know I”m just stating the obvious.

If Donald is breathing, he is lying. The proof and evidence is that there is no election fraud unless Republicans commit it. Remember Nixon? Ford let him off. Reagan cheated. Shrub Bush cheated. Donald cheated in 2016, 2020, and 2024. Donald, Musk, and others scrubbed Democrat votes to give Donald the win. Called it before voting had ended. Silenced any investigation into the irregular results.

It is the American people who are suffering from the cheaters. Now they are threatening to take Social Security and Medicare, things that I paid into for the 46 years that I worked at jobs prior to 2013. Millions of Americans will mobilize against them and we will string up Mike Johnson first.

BTW - When was the last time we have seen the TRUMP-EPSTEIN FILES in the headlines?

Surely we have not forgotten?

Strategy of saturation of FILTH to distract the public from true FILTH?

What a set up. Can’t wait to see these rats desert their sinking ship 🚢. Pure evil which needs challenging.

I am certain that the elections in which Mike Johnson, Ron Johnson and JD Vance won their offices were entirely rigged. I just know that all kinds of cheating and irregularities occurred. I demand that the GOP investigate NOW!!!

Unless I missed something I don't believe Vance has a degree in any kind of math so him opining on probability is not exactly like having Ronald Fisher giving an opinion.

He seems to have forgotten that the Constitution gives the states the authority to run elections as they seem appropriate for their situation.

I think there's be complete chaos if all 22-23 million California voters tried to cast their vote in person and then to tally them before midnight. That would open lots of possible irregularities.

Very simple. If the Nazis' choice doesn't win, the election is rigged. That's all we need to know.

I wonder how long it will be, when (if?) they finish the planned Penn Station redo, before the giant picture of the vulgarian's face, is....well....defaced.

I've watched the booing over and over, inside the venue and outside. Also the booing of the parade of Black Cars taking him away.

::waving, glad to see ya!:: Thanks for recapping some of the TV coverage ... I never get to watch the tube anymore and missed video clips online that cover what you saw, so I'm very glad to read your recap of the action!

Sen. Ron Johnson said this . . . "People that do things cover it up. I am getting very tired of this. There is no evidence. There is no proof. There are tons of evidence. There are tons of irregularities. We need to take them seriously because what is absolutely true is Americans on both sides do not have confidence in our elections. That is unsustainable." What the hell is he talking about when he says: "There is no evidence. There is no proof. There are tons of evidence."

I know, right and Dozing Diaper Donald calls the Dems "Dumocrats" as if there are rocket scientists like RFK in his party!

Debi's avatar

which isn't saying much, eh?

Bob De Thomas's avatar

Yep-not saying much.

Debi's avatar

Managed to totally contradict himself in just a few sentences. Not exactly all glued together is he? Are they? (Vance, Rubio, Musk, Miller, Mike Johnson, etc.)

Velovixen's avatar

I took one course in logic when Jimmy Carter was President. My skills might be a little rusty. Is that the reason Ron Johnson’s claim makes absolutely no sense to me?

Mark C. Abbott's avatar

I'm thinking that Sen. Johnson was quoting Dems who've been charging there's no evidence/proof -- and A.I.-based/automated transcription apps simply cannot handle such informal speech structures and thus fails to insert quote marks around material denoted originally just by a shift in the speaker's tone (from straightforward to sneering, in this case). Just guessing, as I have NOT seen the original footage of the interview and don't know for certain exactly what the shift in tone was like, but I'm betting it was there.

Thank you, Mary❣️

I CANNOT STAND the lies, the hypocrisy, the double standards employed by the rethuglicans. Are they a bunch of automatons, strictly subject to the will of a psychotic puppeteer? Perhaps the answer may be found in the testimony of one of his drivers who passed on the information that, when one of his repug lackeys steps out of line, he orders him or her to take a ride out into the country, then orders them out in some remote area to find their way back to DC. This may be anecdotal, but it is perfectly believable. He is that kind of mob boss and I imagine if he thought he could get away with a garrote, he would have one of his goons do it.

They are all projecting.

Donald is a con artist/swindler extraordinaire. Why this isn't being publicized more than his incessant lying, which everyone knows about and many don't seem to care, is beyond my comprehension.

Just face the fact, retrumplicans, that Los Angeles & California do not like you, & you are not going to have a retrumplican mayor of LA of a Governor of California because of the simple fact you are horrible human beings
