How does California boast some of the world's most stunning scenery, near-perfect weather, and (miraculously) almost no bugs... yet deliver such dismal politicians and a comically broken electoral system?
It's now Thursday, and America is still waiting for clear answers on who will advance as the top candidates for California Governor and Mayor of Los Angeles after Tuesday's primary. With millions of mail ballots still trickling in, we're left in that familiar post-election limbo once again.
I am someone who has spent a lot of time debunking and pushing back on false fraud claims, but there is just no reasonable explanation for the way and speed at which California counts ballots. https://t.co/QN0mW25PAJ

Its 3rd world banana Republic clown world that they dont count the full election on election night and insist mail-ins are delivered and received by election day, on time.

This makes a mockery of the whole election.
Florida manages to count their ballots within hours. Florida's Governor weighed in.
Absurd! https://t.co/XTHSWhNbS0

Florida processes more than 10 million votes in a matter of hours.

California takes days — or sometimes even weeks — to count the votes.
It’s pathetic — and it’s corrosive to our civic culture. https://t.co/21hoOFeY4B
California keeps dumping votes. Odds are shifting because the vote dumps always seem to go one way.

Count until you get the result you want? https://t.co/7xa3JMQHtv
Is it incompetence or is it intentional? https://t.co/sE9VNEgWOI

I get the frustration. When vote counting drags on for days (or weeks), with big batches dropping at odd hours, shifting leads, or procedural oddities, it naturally breeds suspicion—even if the final outcome is clean. Trust in elections isn't just about whether fraud happened; it's about whether the process looks and is robust enough that reasonable people don't have to wonder. Both 'incompetence' and 'hanky panky' explanations get traction because transparency often feels optional.
Voters aren't wrong to demand a system that doesn't require blind faith. Low-level incompetence is far more common than sophisticated conspiracy, but when safeguards are weak, the difference blurs.
Push for measurable improvements like timelines, audit mandates, equal rules, regardless of which party benefits in any given cycle. That's how you restore legitimacy.
So glad California's corrupt month-long ballot counting, ballot curation, ballot harvesting process has been exposed nationally. We've been writing about it since 2017, when Democrats passed the law authorizing the process. https://t.co/bbbfQuSMhq

Sounds like a plan Democrats would devise.
California desperately needs a change.

What legitimate voting system allows for ballots to come in days after the election? https://t.co/bTnahvdgS4
It doesn't even seem like Republicans will be given a chance to try and change the system.
