00:02:00.340 On Election Day 2026, insurgent candidate Spencer Pratt looked like he might flip Los Angeles to the Republicans,
00:02:07.580 edging out socialist candidate Nydia Raman,
00:02:10.520 setting up a runoff between former communist-turned-Democrat incumbent Karen Bass and the Republican Pratt.
00:02:17.200 But then something strange happened.
00:02:19.600 After five days of counting extra ballots, the Socialist Rahman came up with just enough ballots
00:02:25.920 to overtake Pratt, meaning that no matter what happened in the runoff, a Democrat would continue
00:02:31.280 to run LA into the ground. How did the Democrats do it? To answer that question, we need to take a
00:02:38.640 trip down memory lane. The Democratic Party was founded in 1828. Shortly thereafter, party
00:02:44.880 apparatuses such as Tammany Hall institutionalized election theft by stuffing ballot boxes, repeat
00:02:51.620 voting, casting ballots for dead people, bribery, intimidation, absentee ballots, ballot harvesting,
00:02:59.940 and importing voters from outside areas.
00:03:02.800 An audit of a New York City election in 1868, for example, found that 16% of all votes cast
00:03:08.200 were fraudulent, cooked up by Democrats in Tammany Hall.
00:03:11.700 In 1948, Lyndon Johnson infamously stole a Texas Senate seat thanks to the drop of 202
00:03:17.620 late votes in ballot box 13, giving LBJ an 87-vote victory.
00:03:24.100 That brazen election theft made it all the way up to the Supreme Court, which ultimately
00:03:28.240 didn't want to get involved and washed its hands of the matter.
00:03:31.300 As a result, LBJ went on to become Vice President and then President of the United States.
00:03:36.840 In 1994, Democrats tried to steal a state Senate seat in Pennsylvania.
00:03:40.980 On Election Day, Republican Bruce Marks led Democrat William Stinson by over 500 votes.
00:03:46.620 But the absentee ballots curiously went overwhelmingly for the Democrat, giving Stinson just enough
00:03:52.380 votes to win overall.
00:03:55.100 In that case, happily, a federal judge found that Philadelphia election officials had illegally
00:04:00.300 delivered hundreds of absentee ballot packets directly to the Democrats, who in turn collected
00:04:06.480 votes from people who were ineligible to cast votes, when they weren't forging the votes
00:04:11.360 outright. Democrats ran precisely the same absentee ballot playbook in 2003 in the East
00:04:16.780 Chicago-Indiana mayor's race, fraud we know about only because the Indiana Supreme Court
00:04:21.760 decided to get involved, ordering a new election, which the Democrat fraudster happily lost.
00:04:27.240 Democrats' reliance on absentee ballot harvesting became so widespread, especially in states
00:04:32.100 such as Illinois, Arkansas, and Georgia,
00:04:34.960 that the 1982 Illinois elections resulted in 62 indictments
00:04:38.680 and 58 convictions for election fraud,
00:04:41.420 involving not only campaign workers,
00:04:43.580 but precinct captains and election officials.
00:04:46.440 In Chicago alone, a grand jury found
00:04:48.320 that 100,000 fraudulent votes had been cast.
00:04:51.960 But Chicago had already been a central hub
00:04:54.220 of Democrat election theft for decades,
00:04:56.520 most infamously exemplified
00:04:58.320 by the 1960 presidential election,
00:05:00.640 in which Robert Dalek,
00:05:01.920 a biographer of both John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon,
00:05:05.240 concluded that Democrats, quote,
00:05:06.880 probably stole Illinois from Nixon.
00:05:09.440 In 2020, Democrat politicians
00:05:11.680 infamously changed voter laws throughout the United States
00:05:14.520 to increase absentee ballots
00:05:16.000 and insecure ballot drop boxes.
00:05:18.360 In some cases, such as Pennsylvania,
00:05:20.480 in violation of the state constitution.
00:05:22.940 Despite claims of perfectly secure elections,
00:05:25.920 hundreds of Democrats over American history
00:05:28.240 have been convicted over election fraud,
00:05:30.480 And those convictions represent only a small percentage of cases, which represent only
00:05:35.080 a small percentage of allegations of voter fraud widely acknowledged by historians and
00:05:40.640 really by anyone with eyes.
00:05:42.480 In Los Angeles, we see the same old story, a Republican defeated by the last minute count
00:05:47.220 of absentee ballots, cast without any solid chain of custody, often in ballot drop boxes
00:05:52.840 without any election security.
00:05:55.080 Those circumstances might all be perfectly legal, at least in a Democrat stronghold such
00:06:00.160 as Gomorrah-by-the-Sea. But we're still left with a simple question. If Democrats
00:06:05.040 want us to believe there isn't any voter fraud, why do they keep expanding the use
00:06:10.160 of all the same tricks they've used to steal elections for the past 200 years?
