#Johnson Says California #Election Fraud Is So Bad It Can’t Be Proven

In the #MAGA universe lots of imaginary things are "real". They need to take off the 3D glasses, put down the right-wing fake reports and take a look at the real world where real things have evidence.

Johnson Says California Election Fraud Is So Bad It Can’t Be Proven

Apparently it’s more of a vibes-based thing for Mike Johnson.

The New Republic

Los Angeles won't let a Republican win unless he/she is extraordinary. Need proof?
56% of L.A. voters are registered Democrat, 16% are registered Republican. There's about 30% "other" voters.

If your news source tells you to get upset about voting fraud in the Los Angeles mayoral race, they're setting you up to believe their coming claims of fraud in the coming midterms. 🇺🇲

#Kalshi, a #predictionmarket, asked paid influencers to remove posts promoting doubts about the integrity of the Los Angeles mayoral election.

Exclusive: Kalshi asks paid influencers to delete posts sowing doubts over LA mayoral election

Kalshi and Polymarket have enlisted hundreds of paid influencers to spur interest in everything from sporting events to political races.

This seems like the sort of curiosity that seems worth crossposting.

(Also spring onions fuck yeah, would take that every day over chocolate, don't understand why continentals and Anglos are obsessed with it.)

Green onions are currently banned from all Korean polling locations, and the story why is wild. Going into election season, everyone's mad at President Yoon over the shocking inflation. So last month, when a single grocery store had a sale on leeks, he showed up and held a massive press conference.

"The Mill, a Manchester-based publication, had investigated claims that individuals were encouraged to stand as independent candidates in the St Peter’s ward election in May to split opposition votes and benefit Labour."

Labour 'dirty tricks?'

“The [commutation] decision was met with glee from the political right, rage from the left and horror from election officials in both parties. County clerks across the state said it would encourage further unfounded conspiracies about voter fraud, and bring additional threats to election workers.

The backlash has only grown in recent days, with some Democrats now going so far as to call for Polis’ impeachment.”

Colorado Democrats censure Jared Polis, condemning his release of Tina Peters 

The vote by the party’s central committee was the most significant political fallout yet for the Colorado governor, who issued a clemency order last week reducing Peters’ sentence

The Colorado Sun

Colorado is letting Peters out of prison next month. Ridiculous. This sets a terrible precedent. 😞

Cut her some slack. She's just getting her start as a traitor.

This is an extremely unusual and lengthy sentence for a first time offender who committed non-violent crimes,” Polis wrote in a clemency letter to Peters.
