🚨 BREAKING: California’s defense in the federal election ballot case may have just taken a serious hit. Los Angeles County argued that segregating approximately 20,000 ballots associated with suspected noncitizen registrations was operationally impractical. Enter Clinton Curtis, the elected Registrar of Voters for Shasta County, California, a licensed attorney and computer programmer. In a sworn declaration filed October 26, Curtis directly challenges that argument. He states that California’s electronic election systems can flag voters whose eligibility is challenged and that ballot-sorting machines can isolate those ballots BEFORE they are processed. He further explains that manual procedures exist to accomplish the same objective. This is significant. If California’s election systems already possess these capabilities, why did Los Angeles County argue that segregation could not reasonably be accomplished? More importantly, were election officials aware of these capabilities when making representations to the federal court? Because there’s an enormous legal difference between being unable to perform a procedure and knowingly representing that a procedure cannot be performed. Curtis’s declaration doesn’t establish intentional misconduct, but it creates a factual dispute that deserves serious examination. The DOJ now has sworn testimony from a sitting California election official challenging a central component of LA County’s operational defense. The question is no longer simply whether the ballots CAN be segregated. It’s whether Los Angeles County’s election officials accurately represented what their systems are capable of doing. And if they didn’t, WHY NOT?

He just made any chance of a coverup a million times more difficult.

So in California. They give instructions on how ballots should be placed in the envelope. When you do that — the Democrat candidate aligns with a visible hole. Which means, when processing the ballots the person sorting them can tell if it is a Democrat Ballot or a ballot voting for someone else. That is significant. Now think about the time it takes to process California ballots. Who is it that in some areas (LA County Mayoral Election) you have a mass dump of 24k ballots all for one candidate and not another? How I imagine this works. A ballot facility takes all the ballots that have that mark filled out and separates them. Then they process them individually. The others ballots then are processed separately. An initial count of a batch should give a rough estimate of Democrats versus Republican votes and give a probability of who is leading out of that batch. This is before any ballots are actually counted. This is a great method to know who is leading in the ballots prior to processing the ballots, especially when this is a numbers game.
