The blatantly illegal theft of ballot records, and attempt to deprive voters of their rights under color of law should be prosecuted.
In particular, the judge that signed the warrant should face questions. What kind of "evidence" of misconduct was presented and was it sufficient to grant such an outlandish remedy?
Is there not an election integrity system that is responsible for investigating and actioning on election fraud? Why is a normal law enforcement empowered to action on this?
The sheriffs have a lot of leeway due to being what amounts to a leftover from the 1800s, some are relatively chill others are openly corrupt. Pretty sure half their power is written in the state constitution which just makes stripping them of it all the more annoying.
It's these absolute fucking brainlets: https://www.newcaliforniastate.com/
Lol that shit looks like someone's kid made it for them
It broke on my phone. I don't think they put their resolution parameters in right.
They're an insult to the NCR!
Holy fuck. That's like... Straight rebellion. They think they can supercede the existing California government. He is calling himself governor pro tempere.
Fucking weird.
warrants around elections should require sign off from the local election running agency (usually boards where I am at) and the state level highest one and if one or the other won't sign then the state congress should have to authorize it along with one of the agencies or the state congress with a 2/3rds vote.
Yea. This doesn't seem like it should be under the jurisdiction of just any sheriff. But I'm not sure who I think it should fall under.
Class action suit?
Class warfare
The Democratic side of the primary ballot is a clusterfuck. California is a top-two state, so we will have to choose between this douche canoe and the equally douchey but more polite Steve Hilton.
As long as they are following proper chain of custody and using impartial entities to perform their review? Who cares? Let them count as much as they want. They won’t find anything significant. Usually if fraud found it’s from a republican.
This is political theater to whip up votes.
Except, that's not how it will play out.
They need x number of ballots to overturn the will of the people. They will then look through all of the ballots and find "anamolies" that they will point to as fraudulent like a circle not fully filled in (see "hanging chads") and use that as the basis to throw that ballot out.
Rinse and repeat until x number of ballots have been tossed out, and oh would you look at that, they won! Pretty fucking convenient!
And just like Florida in 2000, when the ballots in question are being relooked at by a neutral party, some douchbags in collared shirts and khakis start rioting outside the facility and "oh no, for safety of the people inside the count has to stop" by court order passed down from a judge; the same judge that signed this warrant in the first place.
And on up to the Supreme Court it goes, which guess what happens there. Check out the Brooks Brothers riot, and look at some of the familiar faces in there.
Fuck that, challenge this in courts before it gets to that point. Then vote this sheriff and judge out as soon as possible.
