It ain’t over. The proverbial fat lady hasn’t sung.
There are still 37 days until the primary election in California is officially called. That’s 37 days to find/fabricate enough mail-in votes to put Steve Hilton in 3rd place in the governor’s race and eliminate Spencer Pratt from the LA mayoral race.Â
Don’t think it can happen.
And here’s the clincher – if Chad Bianco had exited the race a few months ago and threw all his support behind Hilton and perhaps even campaigned with him, then he may have removed the risk that Hilton could eventually be overtaken in these next 37 days. By staying in the race, Bianco (and his ego) may have killed Hilton’s chances to be in the runoff.Â
Not that I’m pessimistic or anything. Do I need to bring up the 2020 election?

Brian, I not only love your posts, I love your tags, too!
I am trying not to give into this level of cynicism, but that is what Democrat’s weakening of election laws naturally leads to, I’m afraid. California’s vote counting is a national joke. Even Nate Silver had many choice words for it yesterday. The problem is that Californians want it that way because it is a majority blue state. All the Republicans are leaving. It is flexible by design to ensure that all reasonably close elections can be manipulated in the Dems favor. They will never change it as long as the Dems remain in power. And Dems will remain in power as long as they never change it. Â
We haven’t hit rock bottom yet in California, so nothing will change. And from what I’ve heard from my coworkers, everything is fine and dandy here.
That problem is that I’m not even sure that hitting rock bottom will change things. When people vote ideology over self interest, as progressives now seem to do regularly, there is no impetus for change. Death, fire, murder, crime, feces, disease, nothing seems to change their minds. Â
yeah. they will keep
manufacturingÂer, counting ballots until they get the results they want.
