Oops...looks like Larry Elder dropped his grifting site a day early.

1. Like Stephen King says ...

Stephen King@StephenKing

The new Republican motto: "If we win, the election was fair."

But the Repukes also say, "If we lose, send us money and we'll try like hell to overturn the election."

[YoshidaYui]

2. CALIFORNIA will show him what we are made up of ...

its not ANY TRUMP REPUBLICAN.. VOTED to put A NAIL in this fuckers coffin.

[SWBTATTReg]

3. I guess if this process is used by republicans, in every election, ...

(if I lost the election (repugs), election was a fraud, I need more donations!) from now on then, I guess democrats will need to do it also, claim that fraud etc. occurred in the election, etc.). When does this charade end with republicans?

[KS Toronado]

6. Probably not until we beat them Soooo bad at the ballot box

their claims look foolish. And I'm talking 3 or 4 votes to their every one.

[SWBTATTReg]

19. You're so right. The issues that they are harping on too, are crazy too, no mandates on ...

vaccines, even though vaccines have been around for literally decades and have prevented massive outbreaks of polio, the flu, and other serious illnesses. It's crazy and insane. Just to have an issue that they can disagree w/, because democrats have pushed for public health safety (and countless medical personnel)...

I'm going to start calling the gop the "party of crazies"...there is no other word to really describe their ridiculous stance, especially one that could result in innocents (and those not so innocent) in getting these illnesses when a simple, one time vaccine shot would possible prevent serious illness and/or death.

All for the lack of a simple shot...good grief, you think that they are going to die if they get these shots whereas the reverse (don't get the shots) is actually the truth.

20. Seems like the R's have evolved into a party of

"if D's are for something we're gonna be against it", no matter the issue. They can not see what is really
beneficial to society as a whole, they have this reflex that kicks in to be disagreeable whenever a Democrat
finishes a sentence, no matter what is being talked about. Know why there's so many flat earthers today?
Somewhere a Democrat said the world is round, & the R's are off & running their mouths instantly,
no matter how insane their position is.

4. Rachel talked about this last night.

Part that concerned me was his 4 boxes, soapbox, ballot box, jury box, & ammo box.
Promoting violence is he?

23. Here's the video, I also found that chilling. Reminds me of "second amendment remedies"

GOP Candidate Foresees Election Loss And Pre-Blames Fraud - Rachel Maddow - MSNBC

Rachel Maddow points out that Larry Elder, the Republican candidate for California governor in the recall election to supplant Gavin Newsom has published a web page that not only concedes defeat in an election that hasn't happened yet but blames fraud for the future loss and threatens turning to the "ammo box" to address the matter. Aired on 09/13/2021.

5. I see that Larry Elder wants to use Benford's Law...

...to justify his claim of fraud before there are any reported results. So, what we have is a pyramid of lies and the misuse of a statistical analysis.

Regarding Benford's Law - both the American Mathematical Society (AMS) and Reuters have fact checked the use of Benford's Law to detect fraud in elections and both agree that it is inappropriate to do this. Here are the links: [link:http://www.ams.org/news?news_id=6490|] and [link:https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-benford-idUSKBN27Q3AI|]

8. Citing something like Benford's law...

Is just his attempt to make his bloviation sound scholarly.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

9. Exactly. Lies atop deliberate misuse of statistics atop calls to gunpowder is greedy & evil

Five plus dead from January 6th was not enough for their blood lust.

680,000 dead, most of who died from lack of masking and vaxing, is not enough for their lust for power and money and racism (he's a reverse racist).

Larry Elder is threatening to oversee people being killed so he can rule in the name of the GQP. He thinks he has engineered plausible deniability.

7. audit & make this dumb ass pay for it out of his wallet ! not campaign money !

[Bernardo de La Paz]

10. Elder registered the website AUGUST 27 claiming voter fraud & thus planned it before even that!

12. Recall, Recount, Repeat.

The three Rs in the new GOP handbook.

[NurseJackie]

13. Yes... I see a LOT of politicians doing that. Invent a "crisis" or "scandal" then ask for money.

[totodeinhere]

14. Of course that is what it's really about.

It's a win-win situation for them. They raise a lot of money, and if the polls are wrong and they recall Newsom and elect Elder then they win again. (I don't think that will happen, though.)

[relayerbob]

15. When Newson wins ...

it isn't "Reinstatement", he was never removed, only challenged by morons. They can't even get the most basic items right.

[paleotn]

16. Benford's law, eh?

But do they know the assumptions behind Benford's? It's strengths. It's weaknesses. Or the really, really important fact that THEY DON'T HAVE ANY FUCKING DATA YET!!!

Dumb grifters are the worst.

[Dookiestix]

17. I didn't know Gavin Newsom wasn't Governor.

How can Elders reinstate someone who’s already an elected Governor? Because that’s just batshit cray cray.

[SouthernDem4ever]

18. Why is deliberate misinformation legal?

It's the biggest threat to our democracy.
