Feds pursuing 'multiple' election fraud investigations, top prosecutor says

(LA Times) First Assistant U.S. Atty. Bill Essayli on Friday morning said his office "has multiple election fraud investigations underway," in coordination with the FBI in Los Angeles.

Essayli's remarks, posted to X, seemed to be in response to President Trump alleging in his own social media post late Wednesday that Democrats in California were "cheating" in the state's primary election, and that there was an investigation underway in Essayli's office.

Essayli's office also confirmed that one of its prosecutors — Assistant U.S. Atty. Robert Renner — was at a Los Angeles County ballot processing center Friday "to observe the vote counting process."

A spokesperson for Dean Logan, head of the L.A. County registrar-recorder/county clerk's office, described the visit as in line with other routine observations of the counting process, which is open to public observation by appointment.

Smeller’s the feller.

These people whining about “cheaters” are not only trying to fuck the elections again, but doing so to distract from the fact they’re the ones always trying to cheat.

Can we bring back the death penalty for this level of shitfuckery?

I trust my fellow Democrats. I trust all of my fellow Americans for the most part. we are basically honest people. I’m really really sick of everyone taking us for crooks. Most of us do our best to tell the truth fill out our forms correctly and so forth and we’re supposed to be all innocent until proven guilty. They just want to believe their own lies and punish the whole party for some they’re still stupid. Don’t they know that Republicans live in these “blue states“
