Republican Steve Hilton advances in California governor’s race​

Hilton takes the second spot in the general election, setting up a contest with Democrat Xavier Becerra in November.



Hilton qualified for the general election, so everything is fair and square. However, if he loses in November, it will prove that those Democrats will have cheated yet again.

It is highly unlikely a Republican can win the governorship but the thing about California is their election integrity is nil so we will never know if there was cheating or not. Stale voting rolls with 100+ year-olds voting, no chain of custody control for mail-in ballots (which make up a shocking percent of the total vote compared to all the other states). It's an absolute show. The weather, for the most part, is glorious but the negatives are just way too strong. I don't see how anyone would want to live there except if they're homeless. They do such a great job of taking care of the homeless.

Nothing to see here folks, move along. They're just a bunch of bums anyway so who's going to believe them. Maybe we can gin up Biden's DOJ to investigate.

Independent journalists in CA were filming it in real time. Of course, no one cared enough to do anything about it and I'm reasonably certain that will still be true tomorrow.

Filming what? People being paid to vote, legal ballot collecting/harvesting, or something else?

Being paid to register. Elections aren't won with votes; you know that. Elections are won with ballots.

John Wahl says I should vote for him for lieutenant governor of Alabama because of how great a job he did helping the Republican Party win in the state as party chairman.

Because it’s so hard for Republicans to win in Alabama.

I'm voting for him because anyone who can make a living butterfly farming deserves my support. Sigh.

That's why I roll my eyes at people when they talk about all the fraud in Alabama elections and how we need to put more and more restrictions on voting to stop it. If there is a ton of fraud in AL, the only party benefiting is the GOP. You know, like Wahl himself...

He used a fake ID to vote at least twice. Plus, John is not his legal name, so why does it appear on government IDs, and why does he sign John on government documents? Plus, his family has had trouble voting in the past because they believe photographs are the mark of the beast. This from a man who claims to be a firm law and order conservative who supports voter ID laws. Just not when it comes to himself.

John Wahl, rotten to the core.

Alabama GOP chairman made the photo ID he used to vote

Secretary of State says it wasn't a valid voter ID.

Wahl’s extended family has had trouble for years voting near their family farm in Limestone County in north Alabama. According to Wahl, his family has a background in Anabaptism, and like Mennonites and the Amish, some of them have religious concerns about being photographed.

In a 2015 deposition, Wahls’ brother Joshua Wahl said he and others in their family believe biometric identification — including photographs that could be used by facial recognition software — is the mark of the beast foretold in Revelation.

This has caused trouble for the Wahls at the polls.

Not that I’m a big of Wes Allen but I don’t care for Wahl’s voting shenanigans. I don’t have a problem with voter ID laws and they should apply to everyone.

I was unaware such a job existed but I can imagine the MAGA crowd mocking a Democrat who was a butterfly farmer.
