“In a society governed passively by free markets and free elections, organized greed always defeats disorganized democracy.” – Matt Taibbi, from Griftopia: Bubble Machines, Vampire Squids, and the Long Con That Is Breaking America
INTRODUCTION
Since its birth, America has allowed some form of mail-in ballots, a fact proponents of today’s mass mailer elections often cite. But it wasn’t until the year 2000 that mail-in ballots were beginning to be considered as the go-to form of voting, not the voting of last resort.
Mail-in ballots are for those who could not realistically vote in person on the day of the election, now they’ve become the majority way people vote wherever they are allowed carte blanche access to the mail-in ballot
In California’s Los Angeles, a race for Mayor was decided by an overwhelming majority of mass mailer votes, with most of the total ballots coming from the ballot boxes.
The system necessitates the creation of expensive tabulation and validation machines all housed in one massive warehouse where hundreds of workers go through the process of validating and tabulating ballots. The larger the scale of the voting, the more massive the machine, and the more opportunities for fraud that will arise.
The system allows for easy ballot harvesting since the voter is not in a secure voting booth. They might be homeless on the street and get accosted and forced to sign their signature to a blank ballot, one that can be used later according to what’s needed.
The mayor’s election has turned into a flashpoint for the whole mass mailer “debate,” and progressives don’t realize that, among Americans, they’ve already lost the argument.
No matter what technological claim they can muster to assure us a massive mail voting system is more secure than voting in person on paper ballots using U.S. citizen affirming voter ID (as opposed to signature recognition software), basic common sense clearly refutes it.
Yet, they need this mass mailer voting machine, for without it their candidates would fail. Yet that desperate need for non-transparent elections is what will force them to double down on their mass mailer voter machine even as more and more people grow to understand just how harmful it is to a free people.
How this election played out, how it was covered, and what has unfolded since, is a true bellwether for the political spirit of this land. Progressives are doubling down on their claims, hiding behind technological jargon and “experts,” but plain facts even the non-engaged can see are increasingly countering them, as we see happening here.
A. ELECTION DAY
On election day, at 8:00pm local time, June 2nd, 2026, the election results for Los Angeles Mayors race came in. These numbers represented same-day voting, early voting, and mail-in ballots already received. Over 400 ballot boxes throughout the city automatically locked, preparing for ballot collection by two-person teams.
The ballots to be counted were overwhelmingly in two categories, ballots sitting in drop boxes throughout the city and mailed-in ballots that would be given the next 7 days after the day of the election to come in.
Mail-in ballots, overall, account for more than 80% of the vote.
At 8:00pm, the incumbent, Progressive Karen Bass, secured the top spot with 34.3% of the vote while the Republican, Spencer Pratt, scored 30%. In third place was Progressive Nithya Raman at 23%. That night, Raman gave a baleful concession speech where she lamented her part in letting her supporters down.
Spencer Pratt gave a victory speech, and the political activists prepared for the battle in the general election. But that battle would never happen, and it would become clear it wouldn’t the very next day, when the numbers began to change.
B. THE SURGE
The final vote tally would see Spencer Pratt drop out of the top two, leaving Los Angeles with a choice between a far-left anti-American progressive activist and a far-left anti-American progressive activist, just what the Democratic Party, the de facto Progressive State, wanted.
Raman went from getting 23% of the early votes the early mail-in ballot counts, and the in-person votes to almost 40% from among the remaining mail-in ballots. This surge moved her ahead of Spencer Pratt, finishing at 28% to Pratt’s 23%. His support in the late ballots dropped from 30% to under 13%.
The district is 18% Republican, 23% Independent, and 51% Democrat, but somehow 70% of the remaining ballots voted for two far-left progressive candidates.
- THE PROBABILITY – Mathematically, any AI will tell you that the statistical probability of a surge like this happening is just about nil, zero, nada, zilch, virtually impossible. It’s not unlikely, it’s statistically irrelevant as a chance happening. It is something close to randomly picking the exact same grain of sand in all the earth 100 times in a row.
- THE DEFENSE – The bellwether defense is the claim that the further left you go in the spectrum, the longer you wait to vote. You almost never vote in person and you almost always wait to vote until the end. The reason for the surge might be mathematically impossible, but because of “the blue shift” you can always expect the furthest left candidate to have a “late surge.”
This isn’t the first time a far-left candidate managed to take out a moderate or conservative second-place candidate in a late surge, and that pattern is counted as evidence that the system works as intended.
The pattern of leftists winning during after-election vote counting is evidence that leftists are not using fraud to win elections through vote counting.
C. THE PROCESS
Los Angeles residents can vote one of four ways, early in-person voting, same-day in-person voting, mail in your ballot through the postal service, or drop your ballot off at a ballot box. Some of them might “choose” multiple options.
Nearly 82% of the residents who vote do so through the mail-in ballot. Of those, 68% were dropped off in the ballot boxes. This means more than 55% of the votes tabulated were retrieved from those ballot boxes.
On the night of the election, at 8pm local time, the ballot boxes lock. Two-person teams of election workers go out to retrieve the ballots. The exact number of teams was not given. They are employees of the county, which is overwhelmingly controlled by the progressives.
There are 400 ballot boxes for the teams to fetch ballots from.
Meanwhile the ballots aren’t done coming in, for the mailed in ballots are given 7 days after the election to arrive, if they have a postmark on or before election day on it.
There are lots of protocols to “assure” no fraud can take place, such as having two-person teams to “assure” no one can put in fake ballots. There are assurances for ballot reliance, which include signature recognition software that “exactly matches” the registered voter to confirm it belongs to them. No such exacting software exists, by the way.
All of the assurances rely on faith the technology does what they say it does, that there are no “clever ways” to easily circumvent their safeguards (because how could we know since we don’t understand the technology), and that somehow the mere creation of multiple points for fraud isn’t reason enough to abandon this mass mailer election machine.
D. THE FOLLOW-UP
As Republicans began to question the validity of the “Blue Shift” defense, the Progressive State content marketers spread the narrative that only ignorant and racist people would doubt the blue shift miracles that keep happening specifically in California, especially in Los Angeles County.
The GOP hope for California Governor, Steve Hilton, looked to be heading towards a similar fate to Pratt before it was suddenly announced he was the second-place winner. His win is offered as proof the system is just fine, but some suspect, as do I, this was done to stop the growing scrutiny on their whole allegedly corrupt system.
Johnny Law is on their trail, however, and that was first seen by First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli, who has accused California of preventing his office from conducting a federal audit on their voter rolls. He accused the county of hiding dead and non-citizen voter registrations from the federal inquiry.
Essayli appears intent on expanding his investigation to the mass mailer election machine itself, the heart of progressive power.
An article in NBC News on this action reveals the content marketing, agit prop nature of this political activist machine. They write, “‘We will follow the evidence wherever it leads and prosecute any violations of federal election law to the fullest extent,’ said Essayli, who criticized California’s mail voting — a frequent target of Trump’s false claims of election fraud.”
Evidence of ballot harvesting has already been found from the testimonies of homeless people who claim they were paid to vote for one of the progressive candidates. One woman claimed she cast 4 or 5 ballots for payment in one day.
One citizen found a public display in a West LA Library encouraging illegal aliens to vote. The citizen wrote on X, “Riddle me this LA: If it’s illegal for non-citizens to vote, why the Hell does the West LA Library have a display for non-citizens that includes a VOTER REGISTRATION specifically for non-citizens that allows them to ‘preregister’ to vote.
“They even have a special section on the registration that allows you to vote ANONYMOUSLY if you don’t feel “safe” putting your address. Gee what could possibly go wrong?! Seems it’s be pretty easy to send in that form and get a ballot even if you legally can’t vote in California and no one would ever know if you do it anonymously and the worst part is…
“LA has apparently made this “legal” despite it being against federal law. Found at: West Los Angeles Public Library 11360 Santa Monica Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90025”
OAN claims whistleblowers from inside the California ballot processing facility are accepting ballots of 16-year-olds if they voted the right way.
There are also claims that thousands of Spencer Pratt voters have been receiving ballot rejection letters claiming their signature did not match the one on the ballot. A picture of one such letter was posted on X, but it hasn’t been confirmed.
The O’Keefe group found ballots stuffed in a library days after the election was over. O’Keefe posted on X, “We have just received this picture from within Stevenson Ranch Library near Santa Clarita, CA. The photo allegedly shows multiple ballots inside of the libraries own safe, this is where the library keeps other things such as cash.
This picture was taken last Friday. We are hopeful these ballots made it to the right processing centers.”
Remember, evidence is not proof. Evidence does not definitively, by itself prove an argument, it only helps it. So when the Progressive State Content Marketers, the MSM, claims “There is no evidence of election fraud in California,” as one MS Now reporter claimed, you know you are dealing with a marketer, not a journalist.
One of the Progressives’ content marketing satellites, “The Guardian,” posted this agit prop headline as the evidence of fraud began to emerge, “Experts warn Trump ‘inventing fraud’ in California as president ramps up baseless claims.” That’s a real headline, folks.
The Democrats’ top man in the U.S. House, Hakeen Jeffries, claims “I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s part of some far-right conspiracy theory to convince people there’s fraud in California.” This is his coded way of saying only white supremacists believe their lying eyes, don’t be a white supremacist and believe your lying eyes.
He said this AFTER a reporter, not a content marketer, said to him after claiming there was NO EVIDENCE of voter fraud in California, “There are homeless people on Skid Row admitting they were bribed with cash and drugs to vote Democrat in elections…”
SUMMARY
The bellwether takeaway from my investigation in the LA Mayors Race is the Democrats have created a source for power, the Mass Mailer Election machine, that looks increasingly to be their potential downfall.
The Progressives’ unwillingness to believe there are more victims of their policies than winners will be their end. To them, the victims who have been crying out are fringe elements clinging on to white power, whether as a white or someone now called “white-adjacent.”
Progressives do not understand the real existential harm people are perceiving they are suffering as a direct result of their policies. Real or imagined, the perceptions are profoundly real to an increasing number of Americans, this writer included.
It is as if they insist everyone right-handed should be forced to write left-handed, and everyone left-handed are now the only source for truth.
While I am left-handed, identity epistemology (truth is understood through truthful beingnesses, like blackness or homosexual, not whiteness or heterosexual), is nonsensical.
It is one thing for them to believe right-handed people should write left-handed and left-handed people are the true source for truth, just by being left-handed, but it is another thing to win mass mailer elections so they can inflict that policy on the majority of human beings that don’t want to sign up for their anti-American, anti-human program.
Their pathological view of the world has turned them into violent zealots who believe they are doing the “good people” a “good thing” using any means, including mass mailer election fraud, to destroy the evil outside their “left-handed people are now the only source for truth” world.
Their growing inability to see the other as anything but an existential threat to their sense of righteous indignation is making them blind to simple power realities that are setting them up for a spectacular defeat. This is assuming they keep pushing their policies as hard as they have been.
One thing not understood by progressives is that perception eventually overcomes slogans when perception becomes too difficult to ignore. While more and more Americans are becoming painfully aware of the true criminal insanity of the Progressive State dream, far too many still think the Democrats are just the party of the disenfranchised and “a woman’s right to choose.”
Abortion and anti-white racism keep the party afloat.
The pain being inflicted on Americans means the Progressives must protect themselves from the voters. This is where the mass mailer machines come in. While they need the mass mailer machine to insulate them from a real voter revolt, its creation could be the source of their demise.
So long as the policies of mass mailer elected governments do not inflict too great of a pain on too many people that can also find each other, a content people will pay little attention to accusations of fraud.
But when policies harm too many people, that mass mailer machine is an open wound.
It gives your enemies, especially we Americans, the power to charge you with disenfranchisement not because of documented “fraud” but because the whole complexity of the system creates zero confidence in its legitimization.
Its “legitimization” is based on complex technical assertions the layman (which includes me) must take at face value from “experts” we no longer have any confidence in because their policies, by our perception, are so violently anti-human.
The more your policies perceptively harm the governed, the more the mere convoluted nature of your mass mailer system will create real, profound perceptions of disenfranchisement. Where your policies align with the vast majority, or at least do not perceptively directly threaten the peace of the vast majority, your mass mailer system will be tolerated, for it makes it convenient for people to vote.
We do not question automatic convenience unless and until it creates pain.
The convoluted mechanisms involved in mass mailer elections create legitimate opportunities for your opponents to doubt the validity of the overall system.
Mass mailer election entanglements are rife with opportunities for fraud. Every change of custody, every extended day, before and after election day, creates new opportunities for fraud. This is basic common sense, it needs no technological understanding, nor is there a technology that can overcome this fact.
When the state wins with mass mailer votes, but delivers suffering afterwards, the mass mailer system will become the symbol of your illegitimacy. It will be an easy monster to create, especially because it’s far more real than the monster you rode to power, the white devil.
The mass mailer ballot will become the symbol of your tyranny and your illegitimacy as one who rules through the approval of the people.
You rule through the approval of technical veils disguised as elections.
The only way you can stop this growing narrative is to violate our American rights even harder than you already have, which will only make your targets more determined to stop you, eventually by violence. This would be a bad outcome for everyone, so if it ends here, in violence, we Americans have already failed.
In addition to causing your targets more pain, you will also expand the number of people who now directly experience the pain of your policies. These people will be the families and friends of your targets who have never quite believed you are the anti-American Progressive that you truly are.
If their voting district is in a mass mailer district, they already have an easy symbol of your tyranny to rally others around, a real devil, with real devil powers, created by the Progressive State to overthrow the American Republic from within.
