We've inevitably reached the portion of the California recall election where right-wing pastor Jack Hibbs is claiming that they have been finding mail-in votes for Larry Elder thrown away in trash cans and ditches: "It's already started, that's why we documented it."

5. We are going to see this in every election going forward. That is, if a Republican is behind.

The bad news: Confidence in our election results have been irreparably damaged. Mission accomplished for the GOP.

The good news: If Elder is already crying foul, I assume he knows he is not going to win.

13. I live in California and we're bracing ourselves for two years of. Republican governor.

15. Why? Newsom will remain governor. The republicans wouldn't be...

starting this "big lie" if they sensed they were winning the recall.

6. How do they know that the votes are for Elder?

Unless they opened sealed ballots, which is a serious offense. Or, unless they were found in the trash can opened and marked, which means that the voter likely threw it away because they couldn't bring themselves to vote for an idiot like Elder.

I mean, it is interesting how people always seem to find ballots (for their candidate) in the trash. None that voted NO on the recall, just specifically those that voted Yes, then voted specifically for Elder. I mean, that is a huge coincidence...

[2naSalit]

12. Yeah...

There's no legal way they could have seen who voted for whom in a sealed envelope.

7. There was an article in our Sf chronicle about this yesterday

The campaign to recall California Gov. Gavin Newsom has a conspiracy theory problem, and it just might siphon off votes that could aid its cause.

In an illustration of the fallout from Donald Trump’s “Stop the Steal” lie that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him, California recall supporters have unleashed streams of unfounded allegations on Facebook and other online forums, suggesting the state will continue in mass voter fraud to keep Newsom in power.

“We all know 2020s [sic] election was stolen from President Trump,” a woman wrote last month in a private Facebook group run by the pro-recall campaign to rally support in Orange County. “If we can’t guarantee election integrity, the Dems will cheat again.”

“We can vote all day but if it’s in a corrupt voting system it’s not going to matter!” a recall supporter from San Bernardino County wrote, also last month, in the campaign’s public Facebook group, which is statewide and has 25,000 members.

16. I found 3,256 in my refrigerator just this morning.

They were hidden under the week-old chow mien, heavily infused with bamboo shoots and soy sauce. It's amazing the lengths they'll go to, considering I live in Georgia.
