Saving LA - Phase III

🚨LEAKED AUDIO: @RobSandIA says his proposed changes to state government will only happen AFTER his term because Republicans need to, “take their medicine.” Sand preaches “better and truer,” but behind closed doors promises retribution. #iagov

BREAKING: In the latest ballot count, City Councilwoman @nithyavraman has passed @spencerpratt for second place in the Los Angeles mayoral race. If the count ended today, Raman would advance to the November runoff against Mayor @MayorOfLA. On election night, Pratt led Raman by about 40,000 votes—roughly a 10-point advantage. As of tonight, Raman now leads Pratt by about 3,100 votes, a net swing of more than 43,000 votes since Tuesday.

California Is Blocking a Federal Audit of Its Voter Rolls California allows first-time voters to register using forms of ID that most Americans would find surprising, including: -Gym membership card -Employer ID card -Credit or debit card -Prescription drug label -Insurance card (California provides free health coverage to undocumented immigrants) Full list: sos.ca.gov/elections/hava-id… This is permitted when a voter fails to provide a Social Security number or driver’s license at registration. Our office believes this policy deserves a closer look. We also have serious concerns about how California maintains its voter rolls. There are open questions about whether the state is promptly removing deceased voters, people who have moved, and individuals convicted of disqualifying felonies. On top of that, California allows third parties to collect and turn in ballots on voters’ behalf (a practice known as ballot harvesting) with few restrictions. This makes it difficult to track who actually received, completed, and submitted each ballot. For over a year, the Department of Justice has been trying to audit California’s voter rolls. Federal law gives the Attorney General the authority to review state voter files and confirm that only eligible U.S. citizens are voting in federal elections. @AAGDhillon sent California a letter explaining our legal authority. California refused to comply, claiming state privacy laws block the review, an argument that does not hold up because those laws don’t apply to the federal government in this context. We’ve sued California in federal court, and the case is before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. If California genuinely wants voters to trust its elections, it should open its records, not fight to keep them closed. What are they afraid of?

Sound Up- Rob Sand will put illegal immigrants over Iowans.

People ask why the CA vote-counting process takes so long. @Elex_Michaelson of @CNN explains it clearly here. But the short answer is the state values participation plus thorough scrutiny of ballots over speed.

These Spencer Pratt videos by @dsonoiki are better than 99.9% of political consultant ads. He does it again.
