    1. Two Globe articles: One reads CA-45 race in close by 500 votes. The other reads the contents of a mail box was stolen on Nov. 5th in CA-45.
      Is there a connection?

  1. Well, well, well, isn’t that interesting. All one has to do is LOOK at the results of this race and how the count went, with Dem Derek Tran mysteriously bouncing ahead of the solid and popular incumbent Michelle Steel, after the fact, to know that something funky is going on behind the scenes. And no doubt this is only the TIP of the iceberg. Guess we’ll see! Fingers crossed for more information coming in on this.

    1. P.S. How CONVENIENT that this is not the only race where the Dem congressional candidate has recently mysteriously overtaken the Republican for a congressional seat. You know, by a few hundred votes! Which is all you need! What a coincidence! What do they care if cheating is suspected? They’re used to it

      (This is one more of three that haven’t yet been called)

  2. A ballot initiative to reverse mail in and voter id needs to be circulated and passed by the voters if we are ever to regain fair elections in the once Golden State.

  3. An actual crime and media silent compared to the international attention to Portland’s ballot arson. Indicates to me Portland was a DHS media live operation. This type of media attention is more natural.

  4. Mail facilities likely include mail boxes, and are federal property so this might be why the Police haven’t released the report and may not be investigating.

  5. Mail facilities likely include mail boxes as well as the mail, and are federal property/jurisdiction so this is likely why the Police haven’t released the report and may not be investigating.
