NEW: The Registrar in Shasta County, CA disputes LA County's Claim that it can not temporarily segregate mail-in ballots to determine citizenship.   Clinton Curtis, the Shasta County Registar, also a licensed attorney in New York, writes under penalty of perjury: "Electronic information management systems that are used for voting in California can flag the ballots of likely noncitizens identified by the United States, and the sorting machines can segregate those electronically flagged ballots while determining citizenship under state and federal law. Manual procedures also exist to segregate ballots cast by individuals believed to be noncitizens."

There are at least 20,000 non-citizens on the California voter rolls. Congressman Duarte lost by 187 votes. Congresswoman Michelle Steel lost by 653 votes. This is a constitutional crisis.
The thing they said doesn't happen is happening again. There is a minimum of 20,000 noncitizens on California voter rolls. Pass the SAVE AMERICA ACT and secure our elections.

Pan wants to go to Congress to lecture people rather than vote NO on Prop 40 right now.
Dr. Richard Pan is the Democrat running against Rep. Kevin Kiley for California's Congressional District 6. I asked repeatedly, but he would not say if he's a yes or no on Prop 40, the CA billionaire tax:

I was reliably told this never happens in California. It's an anomaly. Plus, can these ballots be in a more secure space than Skid Row? Hardly. Nevertheless, I'm sure that the Secretary of State and LA Registrar are all over it. (Just don't tell Sheriff Bianco...we don't want to give him any more ammo, know what I'm sayin?)

Also note that LAUSD is spending more on employees, but these additional dollars are increasingly spent outside the classroom. Between 2013 and 2023, inflation-adjusted expenditure on employee compensation grew by about $1.7 billion or 27% (despite losing 35% of their students). Total dollars going to teachers rose by $85.4 million, as their share of employee compensation fell from 52% to 42%. The problem isn't just that LAUSD is spending more than they take in, its priorities are also out of whack. reason.org/commentary/losing…
Math is hard for the LAUSD. "Enrollment declined from 440,365 to 369,830 students, a decrease of about 16%. Over the same period, the total of 'full-time-equivalent' jobs increased from 60,344 to 64,148, or about 6.3%" latimes.com/california/story…

Apropos timing for this, and an interesting (as a former Legislative staffer, accurate) read.
Since it's voting time, I thought that I would re-up this piece on what people actually vote for: Misconceptions About California’s Legislature theepochtimes.com/opinion/mi… via @epochtimes

I've uncovered why LADWP water rates are skyrocketing. LADWP's supplier said water conservation was too successful, leading water use/revenue to collapse— justifying a 40% rate hike. They asked us to save water, so we did. But we saved too much, so they're spiking our rates.
An independent, non-city-affiliated audit of Los Angeles Department of Water and Power rates has been ordered by Mayor Karen Bass, her office says. ktla.com/news/local-news/ind…

A friend of mine who is a high level professional and long time volunteer fire fighter tells me he believes that the fire unions are trying to squeeze out volunteers by continually increasing training requirements to make it too onerous for volunteers to stay in.

Far from frivolous -- the problem is practical and lack of jurisdiction because didn't give Dist. Ct. time to act. Part of that is on the Dist Ct for taking 4 days to settle assignment issue. Bennett focused on State expert saying "This can't be done as envisioned by Feds". SCOTUS would say "We have less than perfect election processes all over the country every year. Problems identified in Calif are up to political branches to fix." BUT -- Calif has now admitted there is NO MECHANISM to challenge a mail-in ballot. The challenge mechanism involving sequestration and cancellation of a vote is at the precinct for in-person voting. There is no provision in California law for challenging mail-in votes. So the Calif system is rigged by requiring attestation only, and then having no process where that attestation can be challenged such that an illegal vote won't be counted. Once the ballots are mailed, the illegal votes are baked in. DOJ has other option now -- prosecute all who return ballots. Issue GJ subs to the State of California for voting records of every person they suspect. Don't need PC for a GJ subpoena. This is how California wants to play it,.

100% odds 9th Cir. DENIES Trump's sequestration of ballots request and, as @shipwreckedcrew notes, SCOTUS won't touch it. Another frivolous, sanctionable, attempt by Trump to sow distrust in fair elections. Dude is desperate. But he will definitely get more desperate.

The thing I can't stand about content like this is that it's so unlike the model the apostle Paul gave to Christians. Assume you believe Mormonism is a cult. Fine, but notice how Paul never mocked the Greco-Roman cultus. He took it seriously. So, why don't you? youtu.be/Ab245Kw1uG0

Covered CA also automatically sends out voter registration cards. CA Franchise Tax Board pays NGOs $10 million per year to hunt down illegals and register them for a state issued ID # + welfare benefits, and hence voter cards: gwsandiego.net/blog/?p=3771
