Randy, if you seriously want to know, here's the lowdown: These are the people who run California. Wealthy families involved in Southern California politics include the Gettys, Pritzkers, and Fishers. The Getty family, known for their immense wealth from the oil industry, have a complex history that includes significant political connections. Gavin Newsom, the current governor of California, has ties to the Getty family, as his father worked as an attorney for them, highlighting their influence in both business and politics The Pritzkers involved in Northern California politics include John Pritzker, who is known for his philanthropic efforts and political donations, particularly to Democratic candidates and causes. The Getty family's wealth and connections have not only provided financial support to political candidates but have also facilitated access to political power, shaping the landscape of California politics. The Pritzkers involved in Southern California politics include Penny Pritzker, who served as the United States Secretary of Commerce under President Barack Obama. The Fisher family is known for their significant contributions to the Democratic Party, particularly in California, where they have supported various political figures, including Governor Gavin Newsom. Their backing has been crucial in advancing progressive causes and candidates within the state. Interestingly, the same family that run Southern California also run Northern California, Wealthy Northern CA families who control CA are the Gettys, the Pritzkers and the Fishers. These families are known for their significant contributions to various political campaigns and causes. The Gettys are part of a network of elite San Francisco families that have historically supported Democratic candidates. This network includes other wealthy families who have also contributed to Newsom's campaigns, reinforcing his ties to the Democratic establishment. The Pritzker family, particularly in Northern California, is known for their significant influence in Democratic politics and philanthropy. They have been active donors to left-of-center causes and candidates, contributing to various civic projects and political advocacy efforts. Their philanthropic activities often focus on supporting democratic principles and social justice initiatives. The Fisher family, known for their involvement in various business ventures, has also been active in political contributions, particularly supporting Democratic candidates in Northern California. They have faced scrutiny and criticism regarding their investments and environmental practices, particularly in timberland management.

It’s time to understand what crime families, gangs, and fraudsters are in charge of the fake mail-ins because this is organized crime.

People need to stop with the election fraud stuff. If your candidate isn’t winning, it doesn’t mean there is some grand scheme to keep them out. Does it take way too long to count ballots here? Yes. Does that mean there are shady actors? No. Enough.

A recall against whichever democrat wins would be the best way to show what a fraud this election has been! Here's how that's done...A notice of intention to recall must be filed and published in a newspaper of general circulation within CA. This notice must include the name and title of the official being recalled and a statement of reasons for the recall. After the notice is published, it must be submitted to the relevant election office. The office will review it to ensure it meets the necessary requirements. Once the election office deems the notice sufficient, signature collection can begin immediately. The number of valid signatures required for a recall petition is 12% of the voters in the last election for the office, and the petition must include signatures from voters in at least five counties. Let's get it going as soon after Nov. 3rd as possible!

I try not to get political. But LA is where I live, and I am here to tell you: There is 0.0 percent chance these results are legit. Nithya Raman has no base. No one knew who she was until Spencer Pratt torched her on debate stage. She gave a concession speech on Tuesday. I really hope the federal government and @USAttyEssayli are investigating (Again, apologize for getting political. Feel free to unfollow if this bothers you. But a light needs to be shined on what's happening)
Matt Finn@MattFinnFNC

Breaking in LA Mayor's Race: 4:50 pm PT LA County update •1st place Karen Bass picks up 20k votes •2nd place -- Pratt gets 10k - but drops 1% to 27% •3rd place Raman gets most at 24k votes - picks up more than 1% to 26.1% Yesterday v today:

Who are you in reality? According to your bio, this is you: The National Council of Statewide Interoperability Coordinators (NCSWIC) is a group established by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to support state and territory interoperability coordinators in promoting effective emergency communications. NCSWIC helps develop resources and best practices for public safety agencies to ensure reliable communication during emergencies. What is your real reason for the animosity toward Chad Bianco? 🤔

I live in California and can tell you not a single person I talk to even knows who Raman is. They know Karen Bass let Los Angeles burn while partying in Ghana and they know Spencer Pratt is the wrecking ball to disrupt the machine. No one knows who Raman is. Why, four days later, is she getting the lion share of counted votes?

My GGGGrandparents didn't do everything in their power to come to and live in California for me to abandon her now, and I'll honor their blood, sweat and tears by saying this...California was called the Golden state for this reason: California's gold was crucial for the Union victory in the Civil War, as it provided significant financial support for the war effort. The gold helped back the nation's currency and was vital for funding military operations. CA did not turn its back on our country in time of turmoil and I'm not turning my back on her now! Fleeing is for those with no stake in the game, not for those who own the game...

Democrats in California are gonna count until they get the results they want. Then they’ll stop counting. They’ve been cheating like this for years. Best thing for any honest person still in California to do - leave the state and take your money and businesses with you, and never look back.

"We have election laws, and those laws are easily violated and often impossible to detect. Even when detected, it’s too late." Spoken like a true loser. And you say you're a Republican? Rather wishy-washy* for someone who should be incensed by what's going on!! It's never too late to stand up to corruption! *Wishy-washy refers to someone that is lacking in character, determination or clarity...

I am not an “election denier.” My argument to our voters is that we almost always have the numbers to make it Too Big to Rig. But I understand why our voters are suspicious. I am, too. We have election laws, and those laws are easily violated and often impossible to detect. Even when detected, it’s too late. We know illegal voting exists, because people are convicted of it every election, but we don’t know the actual scale of it because some ways of committing it is undetectable. In some ways it doesn’t even matter if the scale is small because some local elections are decided by 5, 10, or 20 votes. For example, it is very easy to sidestep the signature verification process altogether, and CA passed a new law preventing observers from even challenging signature verification. Voter ID would close this loophole. Delay and late acceptance exacerbates this perception, as well, putting pressure on an already not well-managed system, keeping the process opaque and confusing to an already distrustful public. Indeed, the 14 states including California that count ballots received after Election Day are unconstitutionally extending the date of Election Day by one, two, or three weeks - and SCOTUS will hopefully put an end to that in the next 60 days. When we point these things out, our colleagues across the aisle call us crazy conspiracy theorists, voter suppressionists, or even worse, racists. They do that obviously because this system is to their benefit. We simply recognize reality that in order to have a functioning Republic (or Democracy whatever word you want to use), the public must have confidence in our elections and our current laws and system does not provide that. Rather than call us names, address the issues.
Houman David Hemmati, MD, PhD@houmanhemmati

🗳️ Many have been asking me describe the potential signature verification loophole for Los Angeles mail in ballots. It says: “If a voter is unable to sign, the voter can make a mark witnessed by one person.” Here, the person drew a happy face & “witnessed” it with a scribble. That scribble isn’t validated as being a real person. No name, nothing. While a happy face may draw scrutiny, a plain line would not. This could hypothetically enable mass harvesting where the voter never fills out, signs or even sees their own ballot. We should be told how many ballots show up without the voter’s signature.

I'd worry about Chicago if I were you-you've got enough to worry about there! Chicago's political landscape is dominated by Democrats, with Mayor Brandon Johnson leading the city since 2023 and progressive policies like the recent state adding on a digital ad tax. Illinois' U.S. senators, Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth, have called for Chicago's U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros to resign amid controversy over the "Broadview Six" case,

CA Democrats were so pissed when we the people of California recalled Dem Gov. Grey Davis, that they declared war on every Republican and Independent voter in CA and vowed never again!!! The recall of Gray Davis in 2003 had significant repercussions for California's political landscape. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican, replaced Davis, marking a notable shift in political control of the state. This event was pivotal as it was the first time a governor was recalled in California, setting a precedent for future political actions.

THE BEST CASE FOR WHY CALIFORNIA HAS THE VOTING SYSTEM IT DOES. "There is only one reason to design an election this way and it's to control the outcome. Nobody would create a system like this is they wanted people to have faith in results. They created a system like this is be able to control the results."

PLEASE! Bonta is part of the cluster **** that is politics in CA!! Read his history and you'll see what the deal is...From 2003 through 2012 Bonta was a Deputy City Attorney of San Francisco under City Attorney Dennis Herrera. n 2012, Bonta was elected to represent the 18th Assembly District in the California State Assembly, covering Alameda, Oakland, and San Leandro — becoming the first Filipino American elected to the California State Legislature. He was re-elected three times. On March 24, 2021, Governor Gavin Newsom announced his appointment of Bonta to succeed Xavier Becerra as Attorney General of California.

We all know positively that these election results are fraudulent! And I'm pushing for a grassroots recall movement to recall each and every dem that wins their seat! I still say you can't prove a negative, BUT...It is possible to prove a negative in certain contexts, such as by providing evidence that something does not exist. So, it appears we'd have to prove that the entire Democrat slate in the election didn't exist. 🤪I wish that was true!

In California, recall signature gathering can begin immediately after a notice of intention is filed and published. A notice of intention to recall must be filed and published in a newspaper of general circulation. This notice must include the name and title of the official being recalled and a statement of reasons for the recall. After the notice is published, it must be submitted to the relevant election office. The office will review it to ensure it meets the necessary requirements. That would be Sacramento. Once the election office deems the notice sufficient, signature collection can begin immediately. The number of valid signatures required for a recall petition is 12% of the voters in the last election for the office, and the petition must include signatures from voters in at least five counties.

A recall election is our right as citizens of a state that's totally corrupt to start to clear out the crooks. If we start now, we can gain a foothold in organizing this for recalling Becerra on fraud charges! On Nov. 3rd, we immediately start collecting the signatures! The recall process begins with filing a "notice of intention" that includes the official's name, title, and a statement of reasons not exceeding 200 words, followed by collecting signatures equal to 12% of the last election's voters for that office, including voters in at least five counties. We need to do this in order to stop the stranglehold the Dems have on CA!. It's been done before to remove a corrupt Democrat Gov! The recall was initiated by a grassroots movement, with significant funding from political activists. The campaign against Davis capitalized on public frustration over his handling of the state's finances. Sound familiar?
