This is what happens when you have an entire right wing media ecosystem built to spread propaganda. Folks get more and more brazen with their lies.

On Elder's campaign website, electelder.com, there is a button in a bar at the top of the home page which says "STOP FRAUD."

Clicking on this leads to the website stopcafraud.com—at the top of which it has in bold letters "Fight California Election Fraud!"

This details a petition "demanding a special session of the California legislature to investigate and ameliorate the twisted results of this 2021 Recall Election of Governor Gavin Newsom."

Further down the page there is a paragraph that reads: "Statistical analyses used to detect fraud in elections held in 3rd-world nations (such as Russia, Venezuela, and Iran) have detected fraud in California resulting in Governor Gavin Newsom being reinstated as governor. The primary analytical tool used was Benford's Law and can be readily reproduced."

Probably planned ahead.

4. This was always a propaganda grift to carry on the Pig's election big lie.

6. Perhaps They Will Just Skip 2022 Gubernatorial Election and Focus on Another Recall

Given that this is the closest Republicans have gotten to putting an extremist in the seat, the main goal would appear to be fund raise for a future recall based on allegations of fraud.

7. Going forward, all elections that do not go in the GOP's favor will be challenged as fraudulent

and a means to raise funds.

[TomCADem]

9. Why limit it to elections that go in the GOP's favor? Look at Trump.

Indeed, if an election does not go in their favor, it is even better to fundraise off of outrage.
