Gaslighting by the NY Times justifies the slow vote count in California as ‘careful’

Concerns About Election Integrity in California

Recent comments from President Trump suggest that California’s electoral processes are flawed, which could potentially harm public confidence in the system. It might seem odd to some that I’m framing this as a bad thing.

Trump’s tweet on Thursday morning claimed, without evidence, that there was significant voter fraud happening in Los Angeles, calling for a Justice Department inquiry. He questioned why the vote counting was slow.

This isn’t a new claim; Trump has long argued that U.S. elections are plagued with fraud. However, this particular focus on California’s voting process could carry serious weight as November approaches.

States are critical in determining which party controls Congress. California’s stringent methods, combined with the heavy reliance on mail-in voting, may lead to delays in counting votes. This means crucial results could take days—or even weeks—to finalize.

Indeed, these delays are attributed to a “methodical” approach. Whereas Florida can tally millions of votes in just hours, California, which prides itself on being a tech hub, reportedly managed to count only 60 percent of its governor’s vote three days after the election.

Even three days post-election, Los Angeles had only counted 64 percent of its votes, with early estimates indicating fewer than 1 million participants. Honestly, it seems like my neighbor’s dog could keep pace with this counting.

Patience is required, although the situation might worsen. Updates may not come until a full week after the election. We might start questioning whether it’s reasonable to have doubts about these results.

This scenario becomes more concerning with California’s policy of accepting mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day and allowing those ballots to arrive up to a week later. It raises questions about the integrity of a system managed by Democrats, particularly one that seems open to manipulation.

Some speculate whether Democrats would strategically delay revealing results to decide how to proceed, depending on the vote count. When it comes to California’s situation, even I feel uncertain about its integrity.

It’s hard to trust what’s happening in the state, especially given the track record of associated players. The ongoing allegations about election mismanagement create an environment rife with skepticism.

As a citizen, I can’t help but wonder how far political motivations might reach. Democrats are often accused of extreme measures just to maintain power, so one might question if the electoral system is being manipulated in ways we cannot see.
