California's election system is a joke. A state that would be the 4th largest economy on earth if it stood alone, run into the ground. Can't even count ballots in a day. Gavin Newsom spends more time virtue signaling and morphing into whatever muppet the week needs than doing anything for the state. There are elections in California today. Last time they counted, it took them a month. India counted 642 million votes in a day. California can't count 22 million. The 2024 race wasn't certified until December 13th. A country where millions don't have running water, reliable electricity or toilets outshined the broken state of Cali. The slow count is the least of this circus. The DMV signs you up to vote when you renew your license. It once botched 23,000 registrations. One landed on a Canadian who got a postcard reading: "Congratulations, you're registered to vote." He threw it out and assumed it was a scam. Watchdogs found 11 counties with more registered voters than voting-age citizens. San Diego hit 138%. It took a lawsuit to force them to clean the rolls. Anyone can collect your ballot and turn it in for you. No limit. A stranger can knock on 400 doors, walk off with 400 ballots, and drop them in a box, no questions asked. Legal since 2016. LOL. San Francisco lets noncitizens vote in school board elections. Undocumented included. They keep a separate voter roll for people who aren't citizens. Then they look you in the eye and tell you it's illegal for a poll worker to ask who you are. Every country you've been trained to pity does the basics we can't. India inks your finger purple so you can't vote twice. They've done it since 1962 and export the ink to 35 countries. Mexico hands you a biometric voter card with a thumbprint, implemented when they found their own fraud. Our federal form just asks you to pinky-swear you're a citizen while we import illegals every year. France counts paper ballots by hand and has results that night. They banned mail-in voting in 1975 after fraudsters bought ballots and voted in dead people's names. All of Europe's 47 countries require photo ID. We're still arguing about whether checking is racist. Canada, India, the UK, and Australia hand their elections to independent referees. They check IDs. They clean their voter rolls. None of this is futuristic. India does it poorer than us. Mexico is run by cartels but fights fraud better than us. So I'm supposed to believe: California's the tech capital of the world. The count is honest. The rolls are clean. Every ballot is real. And the loudest voices screaming that voter ID is racist are looking out for your vote, not the padded rolls and the bags full of ballots. Sure.
