ELECTION ILLUSION
Part Two. Why reforming California's election system could save the Golden State
I’ve long lamented the sour attitude red states have toward California. Not because California doesn’t have its problems – that’s not it at all. I mean, hey, I’m writing an entire series about how we can work toward fixing those problems, and because I live here, I know firsthand just how intensely our freedoms have been under attack for years. I just think that a lot of California’s bad policies are blamed on people who don’t deserve to be blamed for them. Conservative voters and farmers in the Central Valley comprise a massive, 450-mile swatch of territory in California, and we often get lumped into the lunatic-left of San Francisco or Los Angeles. Even then, I try to remind people that there are millions of conservative voters in California, and there are plenty of hardworking families in the cities who decry the bad policies just as vehemently as the valley-dwellers do…which brings me to my next point.
How realistic is it to assume that, while the rest of the nation is pushing forward on election reform, removing Dominion and MicroVote voting machines from counties across the country, performing countless forensic audits, and banning private entities from donating to election processes (Mark Zuckerberg, anyone?), that California exists in some kind of vacuum outside of this corruption? Why aren’t we pushing for audits in every single county of California? Why aren’t we removing voting machines? Why aren’t we banning private donors from meddling in election affairs? In California, we have a massive population of illegal migrants and their children (and their children’s children, and so forth), and how many of you actually believe that migrant names and social security numbers (many of which are fake) are not being used to fill up the ballot boxes?
In 2021, around two million illegals flooded over Joe Biden’s open southern border, according to CBP. The New York Post even reported in February that an additional 220,000 illegals have poured into the U.S. and evaded the border patrol. Isn’t that nice? And because California protects illegal immigrants, many of them are finding their way here, and even more have settled into the once-pristine, proud little farm towns of the Central Valley. Formerly bastions of agricultural pride and family businesses, neighborhoods are now overrun with hundreds of illegal migrants and filled with gang shootings and M-13 graffiti. This is the reality of what bad border policy has done to California and to other border-states – and it’s not pretty. It’s violent and gruesome and tragic, and it has nothing to do with race. It has everything to do with Marxist policies that are doing what they were designed to do: divide and destroy.
In California, illegal immigration is one reason why I believe that our election integrity has been wholly compromised. But there are other reasons, too.
Today, I’m continuing with my series of how we can save California – what the average, working person can do to take a stand to preserve freedom for our children and for the generations to come. Let’s take a look at the three major things I’m proposing that would change California dramatically.
Immigration Overhaul
Clearly, California is a mess when it comes to immigration. We’re the worst state in the nation when it comes to border and immigration policies. We have more illegal migrants than any other state, and that has heavily contributed to the spike in statewide crime. As unknown and unidentified individuals continue to flood across our borders, the reality is that human traffickers, coyotes, drug runners, terrorists, and who-knows-who-else is being allowed to waltz into our state, unchecked. The Los Angeles Times reported in September 2021 that California’s homicide rate had jumped 31 percent. Where I live, there’s a fair amount of homicides, and nine out of ten times, it’s gang-related.
Make no mistake, the presence of illegals in California (or as everyone who is politically correct likes to call them: “undocumented immigrants”) has contributed to the corruption of our election system – and I’m not the first person to come to this conclusion. The Federation for American Immigration (FAIR) published a report in July 2020 that found that not only are U.S. elections extremely vulnerable to penetration by noncitizens, but they also estimate that around 1.75 million noncitizens vote every year in America (and as many as three million). Additionally, San Francisco allows noncitizens to vote in its school board elections, and even in Texas (sorry, Texas is not as safe as you think it is!), Secretary of State, David Whitley (2019), identified 95,000 noncitizens who had registered to vote, according to the FAIR report. This is no small number. These are numbers that can swing election results in a major way.
And why are illegals registering to vote by the thousands – and millions? Who is mobilizing this effort to get voter registrations illegally into the hands of noncitizens? It’s a question worth asking and the answer is worth investigating.
I believe that the first order of business to safeguard our election processes in California is to clean up our immigration system. Button up the border. Provide a comprehensive path to citizenship to immigrants who can prove that they are willing to work and contribute to society and embrace American idealism. Cut the cord on welfare, WIC, and healthcare. Stop the gravy train. Remove illegal aliens who commit crimes. Immigration must be orderly, fair, and safe. What we have now is a violent, murderous, and unfair system that abuses law-abiding California citizens. Illegal immigration has been weaponized against us and it must stop.
Establish Citizen-Led Election Security Boards
I’ve got a really hot take on this, and some of you might disagree. That’s okay. But, after taking a long, hard look at the insane reports of voter fraud and election irregularities that have popped up across the country since 2020, I’ve come to the conclusion that part of the problem we have in securing our elections comes down to us. We the people are not involved in making sure it’s a free and fair process. We rely on corrupted election commissions and boards to “safeguard” the process, when in actuality, people on boards and committees are easily corruptible and untrustworthy. Case in point: Sheriff Christopher Schmaling of Racine County, Wisconsin, recommended criminal charges against five Wisconsin Election Commission members who were caught red-handed breaking election laws (and encouraging the breaking of election laws, based on the evidence presented during a 2021 press conference Schmaling presented to the public). The Wisconsin Election Commission suspended special voting deputies from visiting nursing homes, and based on a 136-page report by special counsel Michael Gableman, voting turnout in Wisconsin nursing homes (in at least five different cities), were at 100 percent – an impossibility.
I propose that we the people supervise the traditional committees and boards who oversee and appoint election positions and deputies. I propose an election system where citizens are tasked with demanding reports and reviewing election laws and making sure election commissioners and boards are doing their due diligence. I propose a system that works like jury duty: every election cycle, citizens are selected at random who have clean records (no criminal record) and can prove they will present no bias in the process (much like a jury is examined and questioned before they are selected). They will be tasked with overseeing the job that our county election officials are performing. And, when their term is expired, they drop out of the pool permanently. No repeats. Every election cycle would include new people, and it would allow for people to rotate through the election process with a much lower chance of being corrupted/paid off/and so forth.
P.S.
I realize that Federal Election Commission members are appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. What I am specifically addressing here is a different approach to county-by-county election processes, and actually taking it out of the hands of state voters because our election system itself is currently broken and untrustworthy - it’s a tool being leveraged against us right now. I think people should be randomly selected to safeguard election processes, background checked, and rotated every election season - and placed on a team that would be act as a watchdog for corruption. Elected officials can and will be corrupted. Citizens serving a single term are less likely to be bought and paid for. For example, in Texas, a County Commissioner is elected and serves one four-year term. That’s a long time, and I’m not suggesting that people be selected to serve in positions like that.
I’m suggesting that we create committees of citizens who are essentially an organic security force to hold our commissioners, boards, and election officials accountable:
Are they following election laws? Are they respecting chain-of-custody regulations?
Are voting machines connected to the internet?
Is anyone in the election precincts taking money from private donors?
Are outside entities being allowed into the vote-counting rooms?
Does anyone have an agenda that needs to be revealed?
Look, it takes time to corrupt people.
Don’t give them time to be corrupted. That’s all I’m saying. Keep the process cursory and quick and efficient.
Get rid of the machines
I’m about to sound a lot like Mike Lindell right here, and that’s good, because what Lindell is saying about the voting machine problem in this country is right on target: if we don’t get rid of the dubious voting tabulation software, we are inviting unidentified entities to interfere in our election results. Let’s take Indiana, who has passed a bill requiring paper backups for voting machines (they use MicroVote machines), which would require a paper trail on the votes being tabulated by the machines. While it’s a step in the right direction for Indiana, it’s not good enough. We need to return to paper ballots only. Not mail-in ballots. In-person, same-day (one day, to be precise!), paper-only. Hand counted. Machines must go.
Oh, and by the way, you can thank the “Hanging Chads” of the Bush-Gore debacle in 2000 for the implementation of voting machines in the United States – a complete and total farce that ushered in an age of elections that could be easily manipulated and coerced by America’s extremely corrupt aristocracy of political elites.
Conclusion – Call to Action
Here’s the kicker: I’m well aware that California has been captured by enemy forces. Sacramento is teeming with corporately-controlled representatives who propose communist legislation. Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) is a communist puppet on a string who takes his marching orders and provides a face for the agenda. We are told, over and over, that the recall effort on Newsom failed – and I find that really hard to believe.
In light of the massive amount of voter fraud that we undoubtedly have in California, do we really believe that the recall effort just…didn’t…work? I lived through the “Recall Gray Davis” campaign and let me tell you: that recall was a lot smaller than the recall effort for Newsom, and yet somehow, that recall was successful. I remember attending recall rallies at the state capitol building and the energy and movement was nothing compared to the righteous anger being funneled into the “recall Newsom” initiative.
And yet we’re supposed to believe that the recall was unsuccessful?
And hey, even if the recall was legitimately lost, I would be willing to bet that it was lost by just a hair – not a large margin.
Remember, the fraud is everywhere, in everything. Machines, mail-in ballots, ballot trafficking cartels (that’s a thing, look it up), and the like.
Trust nothing. Question everything.
But what can we do? Our institutions have been captured. Our voice – which should be heard through the ballot box – has been stifled. And, after the recall effort in California “failed,” I think a lot of people just gave up. Plenty of people have left the state, and I’d be lying if I said I don’t look at properties in the Midwest on a weekly basis.
Basically, I believe this all comes down to the local level. Changing election processes and cleaning up city councils. Because yes – even your cute little small-town council is likely corrupt. Paid off. Taking state or federal money (my sweet little farm town has taken plenty of Agenda 21 money over the years and it’s obvious to see where the city’s priorities are because of their willingness to prostitute themselves out to government funding).
Watch your city council members and city managers. What are their core beliefs? Who are they working for? Let’s be real: is there a Masonic Lodge or a Scottish Rite or Knights of Columbus guild in your town? How many city members or council members from those fraternities sit on your committees? Get them out of there. They don’t look after the needs of the town – they’ll look after the needs and demands of their respective orders first. That is the reality. Anyone associated with organizations like that who sit on city councils are going to be bad news, plain and simple.
Hold your councils accountable – but do not do it alone. If you stand up against your city alone, they will destroy you. Remember, there is power in numbers. Which, as I’ve said before, is why the power of the local church needs to be harnessed – because the church, if nothing else, should at the very least be an advocate for the well-being and safety of the community they are planted in.
But I digress.
My recommendation is to start local on this one, because California is incredibly corrupt. You can’t overhaul the entire system in one day. I’m not sure if San Francisco or Los Angeles are redeemable at this point unless people unite together to combat the radical policies implemented by cities and mayors. But make no mistake, that includes cleaning up the election processes in each county in California, throughout San Francisco all the way to San Diego.
What California lacks is a cohesive, overarching movement to mobilize concerned California citizens. The enemy knows that we are disorganized and have no leadership. It’s why I get so frustrated with bastions of conservatism writing off California. We need a strong, conservative leader who can unite the people. Someone who has the resources to get out there to help guide and lead people – let’s face it, Larry Elder sure wasn’t it. In fact, I’d argue that Larry Elder is a part of the establishment fix, too, but that’s another story for another day.
To get you started, I’ve included some resources for you to tap into at the bottom of this article. Educate yourself on election laws. Get involved if you can in a local group – or start one – to hold your city council accountable for their actions. And this includes the mayor, the city manager, the police chief, and so forth. Be wary and rightfully suspicious of anyone who holds a leadership position in your community who also holds membership in any local fraternities or orders - man cannot serve two masters. That is a massive red flag.
My final installment in my California series will be published on Monday, March 28. I’ll be specifically talking about the failings of the church and why the evangelical community is the single most powerful weapon in our arsenal to fight California’s corruption…and how it has failed us, thanks to our own laziness and unwillingness to grasp a basic understanding of Biblical theology and the application of it in society.
Go forth and FIGHT.
Romans 1:28-32
And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.
