Nobody saw this coming. And nobody should dismiss it.
The fraud isn’t in the counting. It’s in everything that happens before the counting.
This is the argument that gets conservatives laughed out of the room when they lead with “the machines were hacked” — because California’s tabulation is, as Pratt put it, robotic in its accuracy. The machines count what they’re given. The problem is what they’re given. NGO workers swarming homeless encampments on Skid Row, harvesting ballots, telling people who to vote for — which is illegal under California’s own laws, laws that California has simultaneously stripped of any enforcement mechanism. A system so deliberately stripped of safeguards that, as Pratt said plainly, “there’s no way to actually validate” whether fraud is occurring.
WATCH:
Pratt also said something that Republican politicians almost never say because it requires admitting uncomfortable truths: it’s too late for his race. The window closed. He lost. And instead of storming ballot processing centers or holding rallies, he’s doing actual investigative work — turning evidence into proof, because evidence without proof is just noise, and noise doesn’t put anyone in handcuffs.
“You don’t get evidence by going to rallies,” Pratt said. “You get evidence by doing real work.”
