    It certainly does. The coastal most urban counties have the darkest color on the make showing the highest poverty rates. The only valley counties like that are Yolo and Butte that have liberal college towns in them.

    No, once Californians see how broken progressive policies have made the state, they will turn to people with policies like ours to fix it. Notice how for governor our candidate for governor from up here did better than recent ones from elsewhere and actually won San Bernardino, Riverside, and Orange counties back and was competitive in San Diego. He won every county in the valley except Yolo and Sacramento which are extensions of the Bay Area now.

    How the hell did you infer my post was a message directed at you personally? It's no different than your blanket insults toward Liberals and Democrats. I guess a taste of your own medicine is too much for you to take.

    Amen.

    Or, about candidates who have the balls to serve their constituencies and America rather than party central.

    Your yellow area gets representation in our federal legislature.

    Your idea that your tiny low population area should get more federal representation has nothing to do with equality of representation across the USA. You're just one more "me first" - one more small location that wants to have equal representation in the Senate as does Texas, California, New York, Florida, and the rest.

    Those in Washington, DC don't get ANY House representation (like YOU do). Plus, DC gets no Senate representation even thought there are way more people in Washington, DC than either of two other states. They pay taxes with ZERO representation. They get zero representation in federal law. AND, the federal congress has inordinate control over governmental activities in DC.

    I'd also point out that Puerto Rico is fully populated with those who are American citizens and who pay taxes to America and must follow American law. If it were a state, it would be the 33rd largest state in the union - larger than 17 other states.

    But, they have ZERO representation, either in those taxes they pay or those US laws they must follow.


    Have you heard the phrase "taxation without representation"?

    It always has been a one way street. Until now!

    I'm pretty sure that's half the reason for all this MAGA stuff in the first place. Fear of their inherent (and unearned) "superiority" just slipping away.

    I stand by what the supervisors in my county did and am proud of their actions. We are the voice of reason in this hell hole of a state.

    Our issue was never with the federal government. It has to do with in state historical and current issues. As to PR, with no other potential state to offset the senate and electoral college advantages for democrats, creating a rural red state out of a big blue one is PR’s only chance at statehood and we in Jefferson are waiting for that moment.

    just like MAGA hat kid, this will cost them

    this is why the media says "alleged" and such - even when guilt is believed to be true

    it can be a costly mistake when they don't

    we need both paper and digital, and count each separate and compare the results in the end, I have been saying this for years

    digital should not be used for cost-cutting, replacing human counters with machines, machine should just improve the trust in the system

    remember Diebold that promised Bush the election, is that the one republicans want to use

    didn't Ivanka just get Trademarks from China for voting machines, will the Trump's be selling voting machines soon?

    Um yea.

    They are a business that sells voting machines.

    The pillowman's lies have led to them losing contracts.

    I don't get how you needed that explained to you.

    Hmm.. so your continued libel against the "pillow man" seems to be trying to accomplish the same end against his company. I suppose you're invested then in your own legal defense fund then, right?

    The pillow man is the enemy of the United States.

    He is welcome to sue me. My beagle can represent me in court, all i need are milk bones to fund my defense.

    They are right. Only a damn fool believes the machines deliver honest numbers. Someday you might realize you've been duped by Dominion and the rest. HBO pointed out the obvious flaws of the machines 20+ years ago.

    Do you trust people to count the votes?

    People with trust issues are never going to accept things they don’t like.

    I think most citizens involved in running the elections, vote counters if you will, will act fairly and honestly.

    In the spirit of James Madison, I think those humans holding power ought to be mistrusted.

    Evidence is abundant that the election of 2020 was stolen in a very organized way. The hundreds or thousands of affidavits filed by ordinary citizens doing their jobs were ignored by those holding power.
