Even in California they’re playing these games:
Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, who is a leading Republican candidate for governor, has seized more than 650,000 ballots from last November’s election and is investigating whether they were fraudulently counted.
“This investigation is simple: Physically count the ballots and compare that result with the total votes recorded,” Bianco said at a news conference Friday.
The unusual probe drew a sharp rebuke from California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta, who said in a statement Friday that it is “unprecedented in both scope and scale” and appears “not to be based on facts or evidence.”
“There is no indication, anywhere in the United States, of widespread voter fraud,” Bonta said. “Counts, recounts, hand counts, audits, and court cases all support this.”
According to Bonta’s office, Bianco’s department on Feb. 26 seized about 1,000 boxes of ballot materials in Riverside County related to the November election for Proposition 50, which temporarily redrew the state’s congressional districts to favor Democrats in response to partisan redistricting in Republican states, including Texas.
The sheriff said his investigators are looking into allegations by a local citizens group that “did their own audit” and found that the county’s tally was falsely inflated by more than 45,000 votes — a claim that local election officials have refuted.
You’d think that the fact he’s the leading GOP candidate for Governor should give any judge pause but I guess we’ll have to see how this plays out. But they’re just doing this and I would guess it’s going to happen all over the country after the midterms if Democrats win.
I honestly think the most likely election shenanigans will be to turn the post-election into 2020 style post-election chaos with the hope they can paralyze the Congress in whatever way they can. The lower courts are not likely to support their ridiculous claims but they could find some allies as it goes up the line.
The whole point of the endless drumbeat of “voter fraud” is to persuade at least 40% of the country that any election they lose is illegitimate. And since these are generally dumb, self serving people they are more than willing to buy into this fatuous notion.
