Ryan: There's Something 'Really Bizarre' About California's Election System
Leah Barkoukis | @LeahBarkoukis |Posted: Nov 30, 2018 6:20 AM

House Speaker Paul Ryan questioned California’s ballot-counting process after Democrats were able to flip several GOP-held seats.

The state’s election system “defies logic to me,” he said during an interview with the Washington Post’s Paul Kane. “We had a lot of wins that night, and three weeks later we lost basically every contested California race. This election system they have, I can’t begin to understand what ballot harvesting is.”

“We were only down 26 seats the night of the election and three weeks later, we lost basically every California race,” he continued. “This election system they have — I can’t begin to understand what ‘ballot harvesting’ is.”

I'm not sure if this was posted but it is too important to not get posted.

The standard in blue states now is: "Count every ballot!"... until the Democrat wins.

You're also going to see more states adopt the California primary rules where the top 2 winners get to be on the General election ballot, even if they are both Democrats; i.e. - the rise of the One-Party States.

Probably the same thing as every blue state.  They have made it as easy as they can for illegal immigrants to vote.  I am sure they are also getting rid of votes.  Like how they were found votes at a school in Florida.  The voting system cannot be trusted anymore.  We should all go back to voting at precincts where they verify your identity.

We really need to encourage the Calexit movement:  we can either let them go in an amicable way (provided subsequent to their secession vote the allow plebiscites in all counties bordering other states on whether to remain in the soon-to-be independent California Republic, or join a neighboring state and remain in the US, give us permanent leases on our naval bases, a free trade agreement and a temporary peg on the California dollar (or peso, whatever they decide to call it) to the US dollar) or oppose their secession followed by a Shermanesque march on San Francisco and (heh, heh...) radical reconstruction!

Either way we're rid of 54 locked 'Rat electoral votes, two 'Rat senators, and a heavily 'Rat congressional delegation (at least until reconstruction is over and the seceded territory readmitted to the Union).

Personally I favor the former (fun though applying radical reconstruction to California might be) -- we also diminish the baleful influence of Hollywood on American culture that way.  I'm sure a more conservative movie industry would grow up somewhere else in the remaining United States.

We should do this if for no other reason than to establish how conservative regions can leave a leftist controlled USA.

Ok, Lyin' Ryan, what are YOU going to do about it??

My thoughts also. He and his GOP cronies sat back and watched it happen. And did nothing.

How much of the national debt do they assume (1/50th, % of population, % of EC?) and how would it be transferred to them?

What about the massive national debt they voted for. If they want out they should pay their share of it as their buyout. At a minimum that would be over $2 trillion.
