This Californian has some words for Mike Johnson

According to little Mikie, "California is playing around" with the vote, and "some of the efforts are so diabolical and so far upstream that they are impossible to prove".

Hey Mikey we KNOW you don't have any evidence so you didn't really need to throw that diabolical stuff in there. It just makes you seem desperate and needy for trump's "good boy" and pat on the head. Hope you get it cuz you groveled enough for it. But no one believes you.

Especially no one is California. You see, your party has spend decades trashing our state because you're jealous. We've got great weather, an enlightened diverse BLUE population, the fourth largest economy in the world and FAIR elections that we take time to conduct fairly.

Keep on doing you my friend. But people see right through your smarmy little act.

Now we do need to figure out a way to count a bit faster, but the ignorant comparisons to FL piss me off.

CA sends out a mail in ballot to every voter. A voter can use that ballot OR vote in person. So mail in ballots need to be compared to in person voting to make sure duplicate votes are caught.

Takes time, but allows access to voting AND stops fraudulent votes.

go on camera and lie. I thought that was one of their big 10 no-no's. I have no respect for religious people who don't even respect their own religion.

I saw that one of the main holdups is making sure that there are no double votes since mail in voting is so common.

The Counting Center has a live stream AND is open for tours.
They must be hiding something!

If you're rigging an election, you'd want to get it over with as quickly as possible. Dragging it out is the absolute last thing you'd want to do.
