Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
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.

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.

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."

Read the linked article. If you are incapable of seeing how taking weeks to tabulate votes creates suspicion in the process, I don't know what to tell you.

Even left wing media outlets are calling out the chronic absurdity of taking weeks to tally votes. Throw in legalized ballot harvesting, the absurdity of their "signature match" system, lax maintenance of voter rolls coupled with mailing every single ballot to eligible voters and yeah, it inspires distrust and rightfully so. And it's by design.

The Democrats have a sure fire way to fix elections to favor Democrats in deep-blue Los Angeles and in deep-blue California. The same formula doesn't work in presidential elections? You're a better troll than this, BallDinger. Sad! Step it up!

The simplest reason California takes longer than many other states to count votes is also the most obvious: It is enormous.

California takes longer than many states to count votes for a mix of logistical and legal reasons, from the sheer size of its electorate to the state's rules for mail-in ballots, signature verification and voter protections that give people time to fix certain ballot issues.

And, ironically, they also help catch any illegitimate ballots that shouldn't be counted " exactly what Trump and his allies attack the state for not doing enough on.

The ongoing attacks by Trump and his supporters like Dingaling are an effort to continue to erode confidence in the nation's elections, especially among Republicans, continuing their threats to undermine and destroy American democracy.

And they are not done yet..

Citing debunked claims of a stolen 2020 presidential election and widespread fraud, PROJECT 2025 proposed that the Justice Department use a century-old civil rights law to investigate and prosecute those who help others exercise their right to vote " namely, election officials and voter registration groups.
