NO MORE MACHINES OF ANY KIND‼️ Why would a voting system have a WEIGHTED RACE feature, allowing one candidate’s votes to be weighted more or less than the other candidate’s votes? Example: Candidate A - 1 vote = 2 votes. Candidate B - 1 vote = .5 votes. Let’s say out of 100 votes, the real results are as follows: Candidate A - 52 votes Candidate B - 48 votes Total - 100 votes With the Weighted Race Feature, based on the above example: Candidate A - 52 x 2 = 104 Candidate B - 48 x.5 = 24 Total - 128 votes So in addition to switching votes, now they also need additional fake ballots to make up for the missing 28 ballots. And, why would decimals be used in the counting of votes? 1 vote should always equal 1 vote. No decimals are needed. Machines were not brought in to make counting the votes faster. Machines were brought in to CHEAT, and it actually made counting take much longer, as they are able to manipulate numbers until they get what they need. States that brag they have paper only ballots instead of voting machines, but still use counting machines to count the ballots are STILL CHEATING! Our elections have been one big Psyop. This must end right here and right now!

RIGGED? Nearly ALL Overnight and Late Ballots In LA Mayor Race Going Against Spencer Pratt | Jack, WLT Report The Los Angeles mayoral count did not stop on Election Day, and the late ballot story is now moving straight into election-integrity territory. The reason is simple: the late and overnight mail-in updates being tracked online are cutting into Spencer Pratt’s lead. Conservative accounts on X spent the last 24 hours pointing at the same pattern. Nithya Raman is gaining on Pratt in the late count, and people want an explanation. Here is the cleanest numeric snapshot of what they are reacting to. The viral screenshot circulating in those posts showed Karen Ruth Bass at 172,720 votes, Pratt at 151,149, and Raman at 110,848. Compare that to the current official Los Angeles County readback. As of the county’s posted timestamp, Bass sits at 183,701, Pratt at 157,116, and Raman at 119,809. Run the math between those two snapshots and the pattern is plain. Bass added 10,981 votes, Raman added 8,961, and Pratt added 5,967. So in that window, Raman gained 2,994 votes on Pratt. His lead over her shrank from 40,301 to 37,307. That is the move that lit up the timeline. I need someone to explain to me how EVERY SINGLE VOTE that comes in “late” to California… …nearly 100% of them… Go to ANYONE but Spencer Pratt. How the hell does that happen? Isn’t that LITERALLY impossible?!!!! — Matt Van Swol (Matt Van Swol) June 4, 2026 Matt Van Swol said the late breakdown looked “literally impossible,” asking how nearly every late California vote could go to anyone but Pratt. MAGA Voice put it more bluntly, calling the overnight mail-in gains a steal happening in front of everyone. According to the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder: Statewide Direct Primary Election June 02, 2026 Election Statistics Statistic Count Total Registrations 5,891,851 Total Precincts 2,175 Voter Turnout Statistic Count Percent Voted 1,395,987 23.69% Remaining Eligible Voters 4,495,864 76.31% Ballot Distribution Statistic Count Percent Vote by Mail Ballots 1,003,097 71.86% Vote Center Ballots 392,890 28.14% Results as of 06/03/2026 16:07:14. Results are representative of Los Angeles County only. Remember to refresh this page to ensure that you have the latest results. Ballots cast in Vote by Mail precincts are counted in the first bulletin. These tallied Vote by Mail precincts are reflected in the “Precincts Reporting” figure. There are 865 Vote by Mail precincts. The voter registration figure reflects registrations 29 days before the election. Voters who registered after this date will have their vote counted. LOS ANGELES CITY PRIMARY NOMINATING ELECTION Mayor Candidate(s) Votes Percent KAREN RUTH BASS (N) 183,701 34.97% SPENCER PRATT (N) 157,116 29.91% NITHYA RAMAN (N) 119,809 22.81% ADAM MILLER (N) 20,593 3.92% RAE CHEN HUANG (N) 14,591 2.78% JUANITA LOPEZ (N) 9,424 1.79% Two facts stand out in that official text. Mail ballots make up 71.86% of everything counted so far, and turnout is still only 23.69% of registered voters. That helps explain why the late-count pattern is drawing so much attention. When mail ballots dominate the count, every new late update can swing the public readback in a big way. Eric Daugherty estimated 322,000 votes still outstanding, with Raman closing roughly 3,000 in one drop while trailing by about 37,000. Pratt is still ahead for the second runoff slot. He has not lost it, and nothing in the official county numbers says he has. What conservatives are flagging is the consistency. When the late-count movement keeps cutting the same way in the snapshots now driving the debate, people start asking the obvious question. The headline is a question for a reason. The verified math shows Raman gaining and Pratt’s cushion thinning while a large number of ballots remain uncounted. Pratt’s lead is real today. Whether it survives the rest of California’s mail count is the part everyone is now watching very closely.

CALIFORNIA VOTE IS RIGGED 🚨 Voters were rejecting a new sales tax increase in Los Angeles County but because of a ‘surge with late mail in ballots’ the sales tax increase PASSED The same late mail in ballots that pushed Nithya Raman ahead of Spencer Pratt also pushed through Democrat’s sales tax increase “I'm going to talk about one of the strangest results in the LA County — sales tax increase that will take the sales tax in Los Angeles County from a very high 9.75% to the almost unthinkable 10.25%, one of the highest in the country. Why did this happen? — Initially, it looked like Measure ER, the tax increase, was going to fail, but with late ballots coming in, especially for Nithya Raman, the tax increase passed.” I found this new sales tax increase is expected to take a BILLION dollars per year from residents. Again, they were rejecting it. But Democrats forged it through with mail in ballots

Why is Nithya Raman, candidate for L.A. Mayor, a Democratic Socialist? "Here in Los Angeles, the DSA was the only place where people were really talking about tenants' rights..." Is she a capitalist? "We are in a capitalist system. It's a city government!" Via The Story Is

Fox’s Trace Gallagher could hardly believe the numbers he was about to read on air. In deep blue Los Angeles County, Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton is over performing in a MAJOR way. GALLAGHER: “This is the statewide numbers but in L.A. County, we have 51% of the vote is in and Xavier Becerra has 29.2% of the vote, Steve Hilton has what again, Alec?” [Pauses] “22.6%, and 22.4% for Tom Steyer.” “This is just in Los Angeles County. In DEEP blue Los Angeles County.” “You see the blue right there? Well the deep blue area, Steve Hilton with 51% of the vote in is at 22.6%.” “He’s ahead of Tom Steyer and he is behind Xavier Becerra, but holy cow, Kevin!” “That to me is very telling about this election.” Hilton is making serious noise in the heart of Democrat territory.

Runbeck scanned more ballots than they received from Maricopa County in the 2020 election. Maricopa County and Runbeck's own numbers did NOT even match. - 263,379 Ballot in - 298,942 Ballots returned Maricopa County didn't even know how many ballots they gave Runbeck when questioned in court, or that Runbeck employees can inject ballots into the count with NO chain of custody. 65 MILLION ballots were cast by mail in the 2020 election. This is more than DOUBLE than any other previous election, more than the system can handle, and a recipe for FRAUD. 2020 was stolen.

Yes some votes were flipped at some polling places in Northampton County, Pennsylvania this election day. Before Republicans all try and use this to claim "Fraud" here are some facts for those who voted: - Democrats Joe Biden and Josh Shapiro both won the county in 2020. - The issue involved flipping votes between one democrat and one Republican candidate for the Superior court. If a voter cast a “Yes” vote for one of the incumbents, but a “No” vote for the other, the votes came out flipped. This means that it would favor Republicans in a Democratic county. - All data is safe according to the county despite the flipping of votes, and none of the flipped votes will count. Please at least know the FACTS before you start claiming that Democrats are cheating in some way.

🚨 JUST IN: Investigations are being launched as mail-in ballots take SUSPICIOUSLY LONG to count in Los Angeles, Nithya Raman is GAINING on Spencer Pratt with 322,000 votes remaining Polls have been CLOSED for almost *36 HOURS* and only 62% of the vote is counted. Pratt leads by 38K. He's still got a lead, and can fend off the "late ballots." California elections are dangerous.

How many red flags does it take? A judge’s order ignored. A Republican denied his seat. Bipartisan observers shut out. Illegal voter registrations uncovered. Fulton County is failing the basic test. A state takeover is no longer controversial — it’s necessary.

🚨 BREAKING: 45,000 VOTE DISCREPANCY RAISES NEW QUESTIONS IN CALIFORNIA ELECTION Newly uncovered records are raising serious concerns about ballot counts in a California election, pointing to a major mismatch between ballots received and votes counted. According to official registrar data: • 611,000 ballots recorded • 658,000 votes counted • Roughly 45,000 vote discrepancy A California sheriff and gubernatorial candidate, Sheriff Chad Bianco, is now sounding the alarm after reviewing the records obtained through public records requests. “So where is the discrepancy?...This is a very simple investigation… just count the ballots.” But instead of answers, efforts to verify the totals are now being blocked in court. “They’re doing everything they can to prevent this from happening.” And here’s where it escalates: By law, those ballots could be destroyed within 30 days before they are ever fully examined. “If that happens… this evidence will never be seen.” So the question becomes: Why block a basic count? Why fight transparency? If everything is accurate, what’s the problem with verifying it?

🚨 QUESTIONS GROW OVER MINNESOTA’S PRIMARY RESULTS: NEGATIVE VOTES + VIRTUALLY UNCHANGED PERCENTAGES With just 6.7% of the vote reported compared to 93.7%, the candidates’ percentages were virtually unchanged. Then there’s this: reported vote totals actually went DOWN. Mike Lindell points to county-level data showing negative vote adjustments affecting not just him, but Lisa Demuth, Kendall Qualls and other candidates. As votes poured in from different parts of Minnesota, why did the percentages remain so remarkably consistent? And why were reported vote totals going backwards? That’s exactly why Lindell is pushing for a full hand count of the actual paper ballots. See the evidence and support the recount at
