NEW: Larry Elder's campaign is promoting a website that claims the recall is over, Newsom won, and they found voter fraud through a statistical analysis of the results.

The only problem: The election hasn't happened yet...

nbcnews.com/politics/elect…
Larry Elder has been telling supporters that Democrats are "going to cheat" and urging people to go to his website to report fraud. When you go to his website and click the "Stop Fraud" tab, you get to this page, which says it's paid for by a committee funded by his campaign.
The site asks Elder supporters to sign a petition demanding a special session of CA legislature to investigate "the twisted results of this 2021 Recall Election."

Again, the election has hasn't happened yet.
"Statistical analyses used to detect fraud in elections held in 3rd-world nations...detected fraud in California resulting in Governor Gavin Newsom being reinstated as governor."

Again, the election hasn't happened yet....
Here's the website, which I assume they put up prematurely (campaign did not respond to request for comment). We have screen shots if/when it gets taken down or updated.

stopcafraud.com
The website affiliated with Larry Elder's campaign also suggests voters will have to open their "ammo box" if they can't trust elections...
UPDATE: Larry Elder comms director @GZtoGhetto sends over a post-publication statement: "we believe that Larry will win on Election Day, and that whatever shenanigans there are will not stand in the way of him becoming the next governor." nbcnews.com/politics/elect…
“This is really becoming the standard GOP playbook,” said @leedrutman.“This is democracy 101. If you don't have elections that are accepted and decisive, then you don't really have a democracy, because the alternative is violence or authoritarianism.” nbcnews.com/politics/elect…
@leedrutman UPDATE: The site linked on Larry Elder's homepage claiming they found fraud in the CA recall (before a single vote had even been reported) has been wiped.

Now it just shows the affidavit form, no text about fraud and demanding an investigation.

Before (1+2) vs. after (3+4)

SCOOP: The most direct evidence yet that Republican operatives are helping Cornel West get on the ballot.

nbcnews.com/politics/2024-…
An email obtained through a public records request from a NC elections official shows the new party formed to get Cornel West on the ballot there authorized three people to collect signatures on their behalf statewide — all three work for a CO-based GOP consulting firm.
The pro-Cornel West party chair acknowledged authorizing the operatives, but said he didn't know they were affiliated with the GOP firm.

“I know [them] as volunteers,” he said. "We haven’t paid them one cent.”

NEW: Why Steve Bannon and Alex Jones love Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

The scion of Democrats' most famous family has spent years cultivating a following in conspiracy-friendly conservative media.

nbcnews.com/politics/2024-…
Steve Bannon and Roger Stone both floated a Trump-Kennedy ticket this week.

Bannon said he got a “standing ovation” from a “hardcore MAGA” crowd at a recent speaking engagement when he said RFK Jr. would be an "excellent" VP choice for Trump.

nbcnews.com/politics/2024-…
Alex Jones endorses RFK for the Democratic presidential nomination.

“I don’t agree with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on some topics, but he’s a man of integrity that fights fluoride and poison shots...has been listening to the show for a very long time.”

Officially kicking off what is likely to be an expensive, crowded primary to fill a seat that has not even yet been vacated by Dianne Feinstein, who is 89 (!!) but has not yet said if she plans to retire.
California is the most expensive state in the country to run a Dem primary. This does not look like the warchest of someone preparing to run again.
🥊 A source close to Adam Schiff called it an “incredible mistake” for Porter to launch her bid amid CA's historic storms.

“We’re not playing politics in the middle of a natural disaster that has left people dead.”

NEW: Gavin Newsom trounced the recall, but some Democrats warn the top line obscures a “canary in the coal mine” for their strength witj Latino voters. nbcnews.com/politics/elect…
Latino voters sided with Newsom 60-40%, according to the NBC News exit poll, but that's down slightly from the 64% Newsom had in 2018.

By comparison, Black voters broke 83-17% in favor of Newson while Asian-Americans backed the governor 64-36%, according to the exit poll.
In fact, Latino voters looked more like white voters than other non-white groups in the recall, with an even slightly larger gender gap.

NEW: Fire up the avocado toast and participation trophy factory — Millennials, forged by recession and ridicule, are ascendant in Washington.
nbcnews.com/politics/congr…
Millennials were ridiculed as “lazy, self-entitled narcissists,” as Time mag put it — but actually they were defined by near-constant crises that could make them the 1st gen in years to do worse than parents.

Now they’re taking power. They didn’t forget. nbcnews.com/politics/congr…
Crank up the MGMT and follow me back to circa 2010, when there was a new crisis facing the American workforce: MILLENNIALS.
