The urgent case for fixing California’s broken elections

Wednesday, June 10, 2026

When late arriving ballots in the race for Los Angeles mayor turned dramatically against conservative Spencer Pratt last week, Donald Trump reacted with his usual subtlety. "They're cheating on the election," said the President, as it became clear Pratt would be knocked out of the runoff for the November general election. Democrats were quick to respond. California Attorney General Rob Bonta dismissed claims of vote fraud as "a figment of the imagination of Trump and others involved in that conspiracy theory." Bonta is right there's no direct evidence that fraud swayed the LA mayor's race. But California's notorious tardiness in counting votes has been almost universally ridiculed and has undermined public trust in elections.

Another day, another homophobic outburst from the Republican white male closeted homosexual brigade, downplaying their own existence as a "joke."

Imagine being so ashamed of being gay, you tried to mask it by starting a family, only to see your own children turn their backs to you as adults.

Not for being gay. For being fundamentally dishonest about who you are, and trying to offload your toxic burden onto the very people you once claimed to love.

Pride Month was made for people like JeffJ and LftHndThrds.

But they'll never accept that it's okay to be gay.

Never.

Jeff's truckin', trucker, doo-dah man, truck stop, fellating fantasies have been repeated and evolved to the point that it certainly seems the boy suffers from a nervous or psychiatric disorder.

California's broken elections

This statement made by people who get all their news from influencers on social media.

All 50 states should use paper ballots like California does and take the time to count them all.

Regardless of how long it takes.

Regardless of what influencers are paid to say.

The problem with MAGA is they have the attention span of a gnat and always want instant gratification.

FYI- Making crude unsubstantiated "blowing truckers" insults does nothing positive for your political chops.

If you wanna be rude and crude politically maybe talk about your nuts. Like LBJ. Now that was good stuff! DingaLing's insults are just hateful red neck garbage.

...

On August 9, 1964, LBJ bypasses standard presidential decorum to give incredibly descriptive, graphic instructions on how he needs his slacks tailored.

During the call, he complains about how the fabric pinches his groin and famously says:"Now, another thing: the crotch, down where your nuts hang, is always a little too tight. So when you make them up, give me an inch that I can let out there, because they cut me. They're just like riding a wire fence."

It's easier than thinking.

Trumpers prove daily they have abandoned critical thought.

There's nothing wrong with counting every vote and being accurate.
