Larry Elder basically conceding the CA election - crying "shenanigans" already

Man, these Deplorables are so weak. ;)
 
California recall shows Republicans will never give up the Big Lie

Fox News is stirring concerns that the California recall election may be in need of an audit – a conservative tactic now being widely used to discredit Democratic wins throughout the country.

During a Tuesday broadcast of Fox News' "Outnumbered," Fox Nation host Tomi Lahren argued that "the only thing that will save Gavin Newsom is voter fraud."

"So as they say, stay woke, pay attention to the voter fraud going on in California, because it's going to have big consequences not only for that state, but for upcoming elections," she added.

Newsom "knows that mail-in ballots, which by definition lack any form of voter ID, cannot be verified," echoed Fox News host Tucker Carlson last week. "Those [sic] kind of ballots overwhelmingly benefit his party because they abet voter fraud."

The main promulgator of the GOP's Big Lie about the myth of voter fraud, Donald Trump, has even jumped in on the action.

"It's probably rigged," Trump, who baselessly blamed California for his 2016 popular vote loss, said about the recall during an interview on Newsmax. "They're sending out all ballots ― the ballots are mail-out, mail-in ballots. I guess you even have a case where you can make your own ballot. When that happens nobody's going to win except these Democrats."

The growing right-wing message, reported on by Media Matters for America, comes as numerous polls put incumbent Gov. Gavin Newsom way ahead of all of his challengers.
 
If the polling numbers are correct, it appears Newsom will not be recalled. The scourge of common sense government in the governor's office will have been avoided for at least a few more years.

The Stanford Institution, I believe, just conducted a study showing the flight of businesses from California this year has already equaled the number from last year. It's harder to track small businesses because they, blessedly, don't have as much paperwork to respond to so can pretty much disappear without any real official notice.
But the exodus of small business guts communities of social infrastructure (sponsors for all sorts of teams and events), tax revenue on a number of levels and, of course, jobs.
Those who are leaving cited high taxes and regulations, plus in many places California is not a nice place to be anymore.
I say let California have Newsom. In 2024 he can carry the banner for the Democrats when he runs for president.
 
Last time a gubernatorial recall succeeded in California, they replaced Davis with Schwarzenegger. Did it really improve matters?
 
Swartz asked for 11 billion dollar bond
What did we get for that debt??
Debts are all good when Republicans in charge handed out without accountability to friends or son-in-laws

How many military contracts exist for pork vs military NEED

That's rich coming from someone who supports all tax cuts all the time.
If a business leaves California for any red state (or a blue one for that matter) that offers tax breaks, guess what? Those tax breaks reduce (and in some cases completely eliminate) the benefits the business brings to its new home. Any new jobs they bring in will be either low-wage or they'll require education levels you're not likely to find among the locals, which means they'll simply bring in people from elsewhere. The new arrivals might well thrive in their new locale, but the locals won't.

Of course, those new arrivals are likely to be more highly educated, which means they're more likely to be Democrats. So there's one positive change, and coming from a state that can afford to lose hundreds of thousands of Democrats and still be solid blue.

Yeah, California grew too fast, and needed to shed some population until they get mass transit and housing figured out. Shit, it seemed like everybody wanted to move to California starting in the 1950s.

I dread driving near major cities in that state. But, I have familial ties in California, and I appreciate the Democrats they are sending to Arizona., Nevada, Utah, and other formerly far-right-wing states.

Because the Left-Wng cheating machine is in full force! He’s right! I hope the GOP in CA has taken advantage of ballot harvesting to a bigger degree than the Communists!

There is a great article by Erin Aubry Kaplan about Larry Elder in Politico that should tell you all you need to know about him.

He is a total fraud.
