Conspiracy junk by a poor loser.

What amazes me is that anyone could think that a Republican would be winning in a city that is overwhelmingly Democratic based on polls. Once people realized who the fellow was and who he acted like, they voted and the vote counts, NOT polls.

They need do nothing of the sort. The Constitution places it in the hands of the states. Or for Congress to change.
You literally just said that to prove under 18 U.S.C. § 597, federal prosecutors must prove
  • An expenditure was made, offered, solicited, or accepted
  • The expenditure involved something of value (money, goods, services, or benefits)
  • The purpose was to influence voting behavior
How on earth do they do that without looking at the voter registra. Are you saying that have the legal right under 18 U.S.C. § 597 but cannot persue the evidence. That doesn't make sense. If its a law that is being breached then surely the feds have justification to then investigate this under their juridiction and legislation.

Constitutional Background
States have the initial and principal responsibility for administering elections in the United States, including in determining voter eligibility. The federal government maintains a significant role in elections, such as in enforcing federal laws protecting election integrity.

Congress has authority to prevent unconstitutional voter discrimination in a state or local election. In addition to its Article I powers, Congress's authority to legislate regarding these issues derives principally from the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. Relying on its Spending Clause authority under Article I, Congress also may condition the receipt of federal funds for state or local elections on compliance with federal requirements.

Specifically in relation to opening the books.

The National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA) provides that states must "conduct a general program that makes a reasonable effort to remove the names of ineligible voters from the official lists of eligible voters" due to death or residency change. The NVRA contains public disclosure provisions requiring states to maintain and make available for public inspection certain records concerning the implementation of programs for ensuring the accuracy of voter rolls. The Attorney General may bring civil actions to enforce the NVRA.

The Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA) sets additional requirements, including that states maintain "in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner, a single, uniform, official, centralized, interactive computerized statewide voter registration list" containing the names and registration information of all registered voters. HAVA further requires states to ensure voter registration records are "accurate and are updated regularly," to make "a reasonable effort to remove registrants who are ineligible to vote," and to ensure eligible voters are not removed in error. HAVA provides that the Attorney General may bring a civil action against any state or jurisdiction "as may be necessary to carry out the uniform and nondiscriminatory election technology and administration requirements[.]"

The Civil Rights Act of 1960 (CRA) requires election officers to retain and preserve records "relating to any application, registration, payment of poll tax, or other act requisite to voting in such election" for 22 months, and to provide the Attorney General such records "for inspection, reproduction, and copying" upon demand in writing with a statement of the basis and the purpose of the demand.

Because Trump's action in the OP is unconstitutional.
According to the above it isn't.

Conspiracy junk by a poor loser.
Is what was said in the video fact or not. If its fact then its not a conspiracy but shows a long track record of fraudulant behaviour. Withe the same MO as to what we are seeing right now.
What amazes me is that anyone could think that a Republican would be winning in a city that is overwhelmingly Democratic based on polls. Once people realized who the fellow was and who he acted like, they voted and the vote counts, NOT polls.
Yeah I guess when those leaders destroy the city people will just keep voting in leaders to destroy their city. Strange logic.

I think Pratt was polling well and certainly above Raman who was even rejected by her own constituents and 4th choice candidate. Yet somehow she got even more votes than Bass all of a sudden in particular homeless areas where there is at least question marks how the voting registrations and voting itself.

But theres nothing sus going on here the Dems say. Its all conspiracy.

Even if it is not fraud don't you think the appearence of transparency and integrity is just as important that it can deminish such suspicions and conspiracies. The more you hide it the more it generates suspicion that something is being hidden.

All they have to do is open up the registra and show that its all above board. That is what any reasonable person or organisation would do when asked under such circumstances.

I mean in the end I am not bothered and I agree california is a Dem State and the people have made their choice. So long as it was not coerced.

But my original point was how long do people accept the destruction of a city by leaders before they try an alternative. It seems people would rather harm themselves than ever try the alternative. I thought Pratt spoke some truth and made good points on how Bass and dems are destroying LA. Does not that count for anything.

If a party done that is my nation they would be out the door. The people are not partisan in States and cities. They will vote anyone out who is not doing a good job. Especially if they cause such destruction as what is happening in LA and other places.

Really?!? Proof?
We could go back to when the South was primarily Democratic before the Civil Rights Act was passed under Johnson and see some rigging via Jim Crow stuff. But that was over 60 years ago.

Since the south turned mostly Republican, where have the Democratic Party rigged elections??
Back it up. Otherwise it is just unsupported insults.
I don't think you want to go back in history on stuff like this as it does not bear well for the dems.
Since the south turned mostly Republican, where have the Democratic Party rigged elections??
Back it up. Otherwise it is just unsupported insults.
From the video linked earlier

An audit of a New York City election in 1868, for example, found that 16% of all votes cast were fraudulent, by Democrats in Tammy Hall. In 1948, Lynden Johnson infamously stole a Texas Senate seat thanks to the drop of 202 late votes in ballot box 13 giving LBJ an 87 vote victory.

In 1994, Democrats tried to steal a state senate seat in Pennsylvania. On election day, Republican Bruce Marx led Democrat William Stinson by over 500 votes. But the absentee ballots curiously went overwhelmingly for the Democrat, giving Stinson just enough votes to win overall.

In that case,, a federal judge found that Philadelphia election officials had illegally delivered hundreds of absentee ballot packets directly to the Democrats. who in turn collected votes from people who were ineligible to cast votes when they weren't forging the votes outright.

Democrats ran precisely the same absentee ballot playbook in 2003 in the East Chicago Indiana mayor's race. Fraud we know about only because the Indiana Supreme Court decided to get involved, ordering a new election, which the Democrats then lost.

Democrats reliance on absentee ballot harvesting became so widespread, especially in states such as Illinois, Arkansas, and Georgia, that the1982 Illinois elections resulted in 62 indictments and 58 convictions for election fraud involving not only campaign workers, but precinct captains and election officials.

In Chicago alone, a grand jury found that 100,000 fraudulent votes had been cast. Chicago had already been a central hub of Democrat election theft for decades. Most infamously exemplified by the 1960 presidential election in which Robert Dick, a biographer of both John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon, concluded that Democrats quote probably stole Illinois from Nixon.

In 2020, Democrat politicians infamously changed voter laws throughout the United States to increase absentee ballots and insecure ballot drop boxes in some cases such as Pennsylvania in violation of the state constitution.

Despite claims of perfectly secure elections, hundreds of Democrats over American history have been convicted over election fraud. And those convictions represent only a small percentage of cases which represent only a small percentage of allegations of voter fraud widely acknowledged by historians.
Perhaps because they question what the Republicans are going to share them with? Or purging valid voters from the rolls because they are Democrats.
No that is exactly what they are trying to weed out. If its transparent then all will see whether there is fraud or irregularities going on with both sides.

Its a simple and widely used principle of transparency used across all areas of governance and institutions and even within organisations so that not only is the process legal and fair but is percieved to be so because no one has anything to hide.

Considering the long track record of the dems doing exactly what has been alleged it seems reasonable to now be open and put this to rest. Otherwise it will continue to undermine election integrity. What have they got to hide.

Nice set of cherry picked examples but none of them prove that this most recent election in LA was rigged or stolen. Republican suspicions aren’t evidence of any wrongdoing. If you suspect this election was fraudulent then you have to provide the evidence for this election being fraudulent, not point to previous elections.

Steve, that's not how this works. If the local police officials think you are committing fraud they get a warrant to search *your* bank account, not send demand letters to all the banks in Brisbane demanding all of their records.

If they need to know the specific registration information of some person illegally helped or paid, then they will subpeona those specific records and none other. (One other thing that might happen is that if their is a place on the application for listing a person providing "assistance", then a search of all registrations made by the election officials for anyone with the name of a specific individual (and any aliases) can be ordered by the court. In no case would the court just hand over the records for millions of people to catch one violator of the law. (Nor would they issue a blanket subpoena for all records on the vague notion that "someone must be cheating". )


"Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

Someone wrote that...

Prebunking with

FAAAAAAKE.

Prebunking

The account Paul White Gold Eagle, a prolific conspiracy-minded influencer, posted what he billed as "BREAKING" news this week: "675 ballots for Spencer Pratt found in a dumpster in San Recto." He claimed federal authorities were "on scene" and declared, "Let the games begin."

[It seems likely he pulled this information either out of his recto or with tongue firmly in cheek.]

Whether or not the original post was meant as satire, MAGA accounts ran with it as fact. Conservative author Janie Johnson, who posts under the banner "America is Exceptional," shared it approvingly, insisting Democrats "have been cheating for years through algorithms & motor voter" and vowing that "Communists" would not give up control without a fight.

It doesn't matter. If they have nothing to hide then they won't find anything. But usually this works that there is some irregular or anomely that they want to follow up. Like the illegal registrations for payment or falsifying names.

Its best practice and all areas of government do it. So do regular companies. Even without cause to ensure best practice is upheld like doing reviews or inventries ect. Its just good business.

This is something the states do. Not the federal government.
Thats like putting the inmates in charge of the jail. I think its reasonable to say that the feds should have some role in overseering that proper elections are carried out. The States still have a right to run the elections and most of the admin. But I think it is good that the feds have some oversight ensure proper elections which it comes to fraud or descrimination ect.

This would be the same for the dems when in power that they could audit the rep states. Its just good practice.
This is something the states do (and release to We The People).
I thought there was federal jurisdiction on some issues. ie

Constitutional Background

There are six broad categories of law through which Congress has assigned various agencies roles in regulating or supporting campaigns, elections, or both. These are campaign finance; election administration; election security; redistricting; qualifications and contested elections; and voting rights.

Specifically in relation to opening the books.

The NVRA contains public disclosure provisions requiring states to maintain and make available for public inspection certain records concerning the implementation of programs for ensuring the accuracy of voter rolls. The Attorney General may bring civil actions to enforce the NVRA.

The Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA) sets additional requirements, including that states maintain "in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner, a single, uniform, official, centralized, interactive computerized statewide voter registration list" containing the names and registration information of all registered voters.

HAVA further requires states to ensure voter registration records are "accurate and are updated regularly," to make "a reasonable effort to remove registrants who are ineligible to vote," and to ensure eligible voters are not removed in error. HAVA provides that the Attorney General may bring a civil action against any state or jurisdiction "as may be necessary to carry out the uniform and nondiscriminatory election technology and administration requirements[.]"

The Civil Rights Act of 1960 (CRA) requires election officers to retain and preserve records "relating to any application, registration, payment of poll tax, or other act requisite to voting in such election" for 22 months, and to provide the Attorney General such records "for inspection, reproduction, and copying" upon demand in writing with a statement of the basis and the purpose of the demand.

lol yeah "I come from a land down under where beer does flow and men chunder".

Yes unjustified. But there components in the legislation which allows the feds to investigate if its justified. This is in most nations legislation as the feds will overlap in some aspects of State elections.

I know finance and funding is one area where the feds can step in. Just like the welfare fraud. Also descrimination under civil rights legislation.

But we restrict mail in votes anyway. That was part of the feds oversight to ensure proper elections in states and nationally. More or less the federal registra is the same as the states. Makes sense as the same people in the states also vote nationally.

I think the feds in the US can use USPS to register voters with bar codes. It not only ensures each voter is properly registered and assigned. But would be quicker.

Steve, that's not how this works. If the local police officials think you are committing fraud they get a warrant to search *your* bank account, not send demand letters to all the banks in Brisbane demanding all of their records.
I agree. As the link mentioned the legislation (search warrant) is already in place with the Acts mentioned. Just like the welfare fraud. If there is evidence of illegal activity or financial irregularities then there is justification under whatever Act is being breached.

The community organisation I use to work for got financial assistence from the government. So they had to show their books even without cause to justify the proper allocation of funds. But evidence of fraud would immediately trigger the government getting involved.
If they need to know the specific registration information of some person illegally helped or paid, then they will subpeona those specific records and none other.
Yes I agree. Whatever specific records relate to the fraud or mismanagement can only be investigated. When it overlaps into fed jurisdiction as mentioned. But they still refuse to hand over the requested rolls ect when asked.
(One other thing that might happen is that if their is a place on the application for listing a person providing "assistance", then a search of all registrations made by the election officials for anyone with the name of a specific individual (and any aliases) can be ordered by the court. In no case would the court just hand over the records for millions of people to catch one violator of the law. (Nor would they issue a blanket subpoena for all records on the vague notion that "someone must be cheating". )
I agree and that would be wrong. This comes under the Privacy Act or Information and Privacy Act. You can only share a persons private information or ID numbers that directly relate to the specific issue or area of support or funding ect.

Like a homeless support center can only share info relating to helping that person with housing and homelessness. They cannot share this with unrelated 3rd parties to the issue at hand.
"Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

Someone wrote that...
Yes there has to be probable cause. But I also think there are provisions without cause that are built into the Act. Such as if the State gets money from the feds then the feds can audit. I think there were 5 categories they have jurisdiction without cause

(HAVA) sets additional requirements, including that states maintain "in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner, a single, uniform, official, centralized, interactive computerized statewide voter registration list" containing the names and registration information of all registered voters.

The feds are setting the requirements under certain Acts that have to be met. If they are not then action can be taken ie

The NVRA contains public disclosure provisions requiring states to maintain and make available for public inspection certain records concerning the implementation of programs for ensuring the accuracy of voter rolls. The Attorney General may bring civil actions to enforce the NVRA.

I agree. But the examples are what they are. They show a history of fraud. Even if we go with the rep also having a history of fraud this still does not negate that the system is open to abuse and needs fixing.

Right now we can say the dems have done this recently. That there is current evidence that needs to be investigated at the least to find out how widespread it is. If its anything like the welfare fraud where people also claimed nothing was going on. The books were also kept from the feds and the raud came out that was hidden.

Anyway some of the legislation requires the state to open its books when requested without citing any fraud. Just as part of a fed Act. But I think theres enough questions to justify that there be an investigating and the books/roll be opened to support transparency and voter confidence.
Republican suspicions aren’t evidence of any wrongdoing. If you suspect this election was fraudulent then you have to provide the evidence for this election being fraudulent, not point to previous elections.
Its not republican suspicions when its normal practice and part of the legislation under the Acts cited. It says the States are required to maintain and make available for public inspection certain records concerning the implementation of programs for ensuring the accuracy of voter rolls. The Attorney General may bring civil actions to enforce the NVRA.

So its normal practice under legislation that the States make available the voter roles for inspection. That takes it out of the hands of government as an independent Act that States are required to adhere to.

But as mentioned its normal practice for governments, companies and institutions to do reviews and scrutinise practices associated with their operations to ensure everythings above board and meeting the requirements stipulated in the Acts or legislation they need to meet.

Another way is through USPS as this controls laws around mail in votes.

I have to disagree with the ideal that it is a "Democratic preference." I think it is largely just a preference that people have. As evidence, let's just Arizona and Utah -- both have mail in systems that were put in place by Republicans (even if Arizona has turned more purple in the interim). The majority (and Utah is one of the most Republican states) of voters in Utah vote by mail. Utah sends out a ballot to every registered voter. Yet, for some reason, I've never heard complaints about how Utah elections are fraudulent when they keep voting in Republicans. Seems to be a double standard.

....a double standard that mysteriously appeared in 2016.

It doesn't matter.
Of course it matters. It's governmental overreach to grab data that doesn't belong to them per the Constitution. The law says there must be a basis for investigation; they cannot investigate "just because."
If they have nothing to hide then they won't find anything.
This administration is renown for invention. "They're eating the cats! They're eating the dogs!" - that came from the president and the VP. The president has claimed baselessly that elections are rigged.
But usually this works that there is some irregular or anomely that they want to follow up. Like the illegal registrations for payment or falsifying names.
Usually. These anomalies are investigated and dealt with by the state as it is the state, not the feds, who are responsible for the governance of elections. The federal government can advise and certify voting apparatus, but unless there is evidence of illegality not addressed by the state, then the feds have no business sticking their noses in state business.
Its best practice and all areas of government do it. So do regular companies. Even without cause to ensure best practice is upheld like doing reviews or inventries ect. Its just good business.
No, it is wasteful and corrupt to go on fishing expeditions.

No, I said the president's action in the OP was illegal and unconstitutional. As you point out, Congress has provided for certain federal activities. If the federal government stuck to its statutory authority, there wouldn't be an issue.

Let see you have "unjustified" to describe broad searches that violate the Constitution and then make claims that aspects of regular law can over ride it? Again, perhaps this is how it works on you island, but not here.
I know finance and funding is one area where the feds can step in. Just like the welfare fraud. Also descrimination under civil rights legislation.
Which does not make them a vector to interfere in elections.
But we restrict mail in votes anyway. That was part of the feds oversight to ensure proper elections in states and nationally. More or less the federal registra is the same as the states. Makes sense as the same people in the states also vote nationally.
You seem to talking of your colony again, because there is no such "federal registration" in the US.
I think the feds in the US can use USPS to register voters with bar codes. It not only ensures each voter is properly registered and assigned. But would be quicker.
That makes no sense. There is a "bar code" on every letter I get, but it encodes the "ZIP+4" code, which is as I recall a block on suburban streets like mine, or could be a building, or even a large PO Box. The USPS is not involved in registering voters. The USPS delivers mail and is a federally owned non-profit corporation.
