I& #39;m so glad this issue is finally getting national attention. I& #39;ve been talking about this since the 2018 midterms. Let& #39;s thread out what& #39;s happening here in California, and how Twitter et al are avoiding the real issue. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1265255835124539392">https://twitter.com/realDonal...
The links are all in there. But let& #39;s recap. CA Democrats have strung together a number of legally dubious tactics that still hold up in court:
1. Motor voter program
2. Legal ballot harvesting
3. Electioneering by public sector unions
Motor voter program: any activity with the CA DMV online automatically asks you to register to vote. The only thing you need to do is click a box affirming you& #39;re a citizen. No review by CA Secretary of State.
Legal ballot harvesting: Democrats love to talk about the one Republican who got caught doing it in a state where it was illegal. But here, it& #39;s legal and widespread. You can& #39;t take anyone to court over it.
Public sector union electioneering: they& #39;re the ones to go out and harvest votes en masse. We& #39;ve heard anecdotes of militants harvesting up to 9000 votes by one person.
These people are essentially the state, campaigning for the state. Ordinary citizens can& #39;t compete with this kind of professional army, and we get drowned out.
CA Republicans can& #39;t take any of these issues to court, because they& #39;re all defensible. The only thing we can do is raise our concern that this sullies the whole vote system, and advocate for a system of strict vetting and custody.
Our 2018 SoS candidate @MarkMeuser pointed out that our voter rolls haven& #39;t been scrubbed in over a quarter century.
Meanwhile, @JudicialWatch had to sue the county of Los Angeles to remove 1.5 invalid ballots from the rolls. A private group shouldn& #39;t have to do this.
The smoking gun that something was wrong was @YoungKimCA winning before she lost in 2018. She literally went through Freshman orientation before they announced her 14 point lead disappeared. RNC Rep Shawn Steel summed it up well. https://myemail.constantcontact.com/You-Don-t-Need--Voter-Fraud----When-a-14-point-lead-Disappears---Shawn-Steel---Washington-Times.html">https://myemail.constantcontact.com/You-Don-t...
We knew coming into 2020 that if we were going to get seats back, we needed to do the following in CA:
1. militant ballot harvesting to match Democrats
2. get harvesting national attention
3. win by enough points to make the "leftward slide" too suspect
Fortunately, @MikeGarcia2020 did all three. I& #39;m impressed how he got everything right and never let up.
Democrats and Twitter are pretending Trump& #39;s comments on ballot harvesting are fake news, because nobody got taken to court and lost. This is "lawyering" the situation and is disingenuous.
True - it doesn& #39;t explain all Republican losses, and Republicans should not blame our defeats on harvesting. But it definitely shifts results enough to merit national attention.
