Questions About California’s Voter Rolls

Posted on by

On Monday, The Gateway Pundit posted an article about a report by Nick Shirley on California’s voter rolls. There are some serious questions about the current elections for Mayor of Los Angeles and Governor of California that may never be answered, but the discoveries of Nick Shirley are very interesting.

The article reports:

This is the Democrat Party’s idea of “secure” elections in their one-party utopia.

Investigative reporter Nick Shirley — the same journalist whose explosive February 2026 video we reported on here at The Gateway Pundit — knocking on doors and exposing the rotting corpse of the state’s Democrat-controlled election system, and the latest clip is pure fire.

Meet Doris. She lives in California. According to the California Secretary of State’s own voter rolls, she is 126 years old and has cast ballots in 51 elections.

There’s just one small problem.

Doris is not 126 years old. She was born in 1940. That makes her roughly 86 years old. She’s never voted in 51 elections. And when Nick Shirley showed up at her door to ask about it, she was stunned.

Nick Shirley and his team went straight to the address listed on the official rolls to confirm what the Democrat-run bureaucracy is hiding.

The article includes the interaction between Nick Shirley and Doris. She states that she did not vote in 51 elections. I think it may be long past time to clean up California’s voter rolls. Congress also needs to pass the SAVE America Act to try to keep our elections honest.

I trust the current California election about as much as I trust gas station sushi!

It’s Only A Problem When They Do It!

California has what is called a ‘jungle primary,’ which means there are not separate party primaries–everyone is in one primary, and the top two candidates go on the ballot. Because California is about as blue a blue state as possible, generally that puts two Democrats on the ballot for governor. No problem. However, this year there is a problem. There is a possibility (remote, but there) that two Republicans will be on the ballot and the Democrats will be shut out. If there is a Democrat and a Republican on the ballot, the Democrat wins (even if it takes thousands of mail-in ballots that show up after the election to ensure that victory). But if the Democrats are shut out of the election, California could have a Republican governor (horrors!). So what can be done?

On Friday, Legal Insurrection posted an article quoting Politico:

Gavin Newsom said he’s confident at least one Democrat will advance from California’s June gubernatorial primary, hinting at a “break-the-glass” contingency plan as he declined — yet again — to endorse in the race.

The California governor, speaking at his budget presentation on Thursday, said that rather than pick a candidate, he has focused on ensuring that Democrats are not locked out of the primary, in which the top-two vote getters regardless of party go on to the general election.

“I do not see that scenario taking place,” he said.

Newsom said there was a “break-the-glass” contingency plan to prevent that from happening, and alluded to behind-the-scenes efforts to rally people. He did not specify his activities, but the Democratic Governors Association recently began sending mail highlighting Republican Steve Hilton as a fierce conservative. The ostensible opposition campaign could drive GOP voters to Hilton, ensuring he consolidates the party’s voters and saps the support of the other Republican candidate, Chad Bianco, enough to keep him from finishing in the top two.

The article at Legal Insurrection concludes:

It may be worth taking a closer look at what precisely Democratic operatives are doing behind the scenes to shape — and potentially influence — the trajectory of this race. With so much at stake, you can bet Democrats will pull out all the stops to prevent a Republican from capturing the governorship.

That reality raises broader questions about coordination, spending, ballot harvesting operations, and other political tactics that could affect the outcome of the contest long before votes are cast. Just as the Republican National Committee deployed teams of attorneys ahead of the 2024 presidential election to monitor election procedures and respond quickly to potential irregularities, Republicans may want to consider a similarly proactive legal and organizational strategy in California’s gubernatorial race.

Similar to what pundits say about any potential deal with Iran, when dealing with Democrats, the guiding principle should be: “Don’t trust and verify, verify, verify.”
