A former ballot processing worker, Jennifer Callahan, publicly shared her observations indicating that signature verification was minimal-requiring only 40% accuracy-and that ballots were seemingly processed without verified signatures or clear identification of voters. She noted that ballots supporting challenger nithya Raman appeared disproportionately in certain drops, raising suspicions. Callahan reported her findings to federal authorities, leading to an examination, though California officials have resisted audits, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-admin-removes-acting-deputy-chief-of-the-u-s-border-patrol-for-misconduct\/\" title=\"B...en Admin ousts Acting Deputy Chief of U.S. Border Patrol over &#039;misconduct\">citing privacy laws<\/a>.

This is California, after all.<\/p>\n<p>While incumbent Democratic Mayor Karen Bass secured her spot on the ballot for the city\u2019s general election in November, Republican Spencer Pratt was not so fortunate.<\/p>\n<p>Pratt lost out on the second-place spot needed to advance over Los Angeles City Councilwoman Nithya Raman, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America.<\/p>\n<p>The story of Pratt\u2019s defeat unfortunately sounds all too familiar with positive results early on, only for mail-in ballots for Raman to come in just when they were needed.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not just mere suspicion that something was off. One woman working in a ballot processing center spoke out on social media platform X about what she personally witnessed.<\/p>\n<p>Jennifer Callahan made an X post with a few important notes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSignatures only need to be 40% accurate (!) this is the setting the machines are set at for LA County (called the ASV),\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe last two drops disproportionately supported Raman. Are those coming from specific neighborhoods since they\u2019re such an anomaly? Or are the neighborhoods pretty spread out that you count from on a given day?\u201d she asked another worker.<\/p>\n<p>The answer was, \u201cWe\u2019re not sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Things get ridiculous from here, as workers admitted there was no way of knowing who actually cast a vote through a mail-in ballot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you\u2019re unable to sign, you can make a \u2018mark\u2019 like a dot or slash instead of signing. A witness then signs below. I asked them how they verify these signatures. Turns out, they simply don\u2019t. Well, you must check the witness signatures, right? \u2018No, we don\u2019t.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo what if I stole a ballot, made a dash by the person\u2019s name, and signed my name? \u2018You shouldn\u2019t do that, but in theory it would be counted,\u2019 they said. How many of these \u2018marked\u2019 ballots get in per election? \u2018We don\u2019t know,\u2019 they said.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In other words, election workers have no idea who is casting a mail-in ballot.<\/p>\n<p>What a joke.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Wildest takeaways from my time at the Ballot Processing Center today.<\/p>\n<p>\u270d\ud83c\udffb Signatures only need to be 40% accurate (!) this is the setting the machines are set at for LA County (called the ASV)<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\uddf3\ufe0f The last two drops disproportionately supported Raman.
