Two more California races called — and Republicans are on the ballot
The advancement of both Republican candidates ensures that voters in each district will see a Democrat-versus-Republican matchup on the November 5 general election ballot.

Washington Examiner columnist Guy Benson sharply criticized California’s election system following the state’s primary elections, calling the process “embarrassing” and “third-world nonsense.” California’s voters’ high use of mail-in voting contributes to a lengthier vote-counting process, as election officials must carefully verify ballots before certifying final results, a process that can drag on for days after […]

President Donald Trump stormed out of an interview with NBC’s Kristen Welker after ripping the interview for being “crooked” and ranting about “rigged” elections. The president’s interview aired Sunday on Meet the Press but was filmed on Friday while Trump was in Wisconsin for an agricultural roundtable. The interview was filmed inside a metal barn, […]
Spencer Pratt, the reality television personality running as a Republican candidate for Los Angeles mayor, posted a meme over the weekend suggesting that he couldn't understand how votes get counted in the city — and the internet was happy to explain it to him.Pratt posted a photo of a man staring at a chalkboard covered in complex equations, captioning it: "Me trying to figure out how votes get counted in LA."The replies were not sympathetic.Rep. Ted Lieu, the California Democrat, went straight to the math. "Dear Republican Spencer Pratt: Before you spew conspiracy theories, here are some numbers for you in LA," he wrote, listing the approximate number of registered Democrats in the city — 1,224,737 — against the approximate number of registered Republicans — 326,292. "This is why you won't make the top two. #math #occamsrazor."Journalist Mehdi Hasan, former host at MSNBC and founder of Zeteo, kept it shorter: "Which is why you have no business running for mayor of LA in the first place."Political commentator Tahra Hoops connected the complaint directly to the job Pratt is seeking. "If this is hard for you to understand maybe you should not be in charge of a 15 billion dollar city budget."Writer Cody Johnston dispensed with diplomacy entirely: "Some dumba-- doesn't understand s---, wow!!!"Pratt's post is consistent with a broader pattern of election skepticism circulating in MAGA circles around the LA race. As Raw Story reported Saturday, Rasmussen Reports recently promoted a claim that a ballot drop had produced zero votes for Pratt — a claim that was debunked using actual batch composition data showing Pratt received votes in every single drop.
The Socceroos playing on football’s biggest stage in my adopted country would normally have me racing to book tickets. Not this year Is “USA! USA! USA!” a more fundamentally obnoxious chant than “Aussie! Aussie! Aussie! Oi! Oi! Oi!”? As an Australian who has spent most of the last 15 years living in the United States and is now a permanent resident, the Socceroos’ World Cup group match against the USA raises some questions. Has my adopted nation dethroned my homeland as the world’s foremost exponent of being unconscionably terrible to immigrants? And on a more personal level … who do I support here?Well, look, OK, there’s really only one answer to that second question. I’m not an especially patriotic type, but if anything does bring out my Australian-ness, it’s the World Cup – perhaps because it’s one of the few events at which we can still claim to be underdogs. And now, two decades after I rose at dawn to watch Australia’s dreams dashed by the intersection of Lucas Neill’s leg and Fabio Grosso’s general vicinity, I find myself living in a country hosting the tournament.
