California Election Integrity and the Mail-In Ballot Conspiracy

The conversation turns to what both men call 'super sus' LA mayoral results: Karen Bass led among in-person voters, Spencer Pratt was second, and Nithya Raman was a distant third — until mail-in ballots gave Raman a disproportionate surge that knocked the Republican out of the general election entirely. [1] — JD Vance "In the LA mayoral primary, Karen Bass led, Spencer Pratt was second, and Nithya Raman was a distant third — until the mail-in ballots came …" 24:46 Rogan raises direct evidence of homeless people being given cigarettes and cash to submit mail-in ballots using their addresses, and notes the same mail-in ballots passed a tax hike in an already high-tax state. Vance broadens the analysis to a largely ignored Pennsylvania case where courts acknowledged ballot harvesting had harmed rural Republicans, but ruled the fix wasn't a judicial matter — only for the press to frame it as judges rejecting election fraud claims. Both men converge on the structural absurdity of a country where you cannot even voluntarily show your ID at a polling place without risking prosecution.
