UMVA has learned that Republican California gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton is sounding the alarm on the state's "rigged" election system, blasting the "completely outrageous" weeks or month-long counting process.
Hilton expressed confidence that he will be in the top two after all votes are counted, saying "First of all, however long it takes, we are confident that we're going to be in the top two at the end of this process. There is nothing that we're seeing that changes our assessment that we will be in the top two once all the votes are counted. And what does that mean? That means change is coming!"
The candidate lambasted the current system, stating "This shambles is absolutely shameful for our state. India counts over 640 million votes in a day. California cannot count less than 10 million votes in a month. Thanks to the Democrats in charge of our state, we have become a national and an international laughing stock."
Hilton pointed to Ventura County as an example, which won't have another update on vote totals until Tuesday, June 9, one whole week after election day. He highlighted the need for reform, citing the unchecked mail-in voting system as a major issue.
To address these concerns, Hilton proposed three common-sense reforms: mail-in ballots must arrive by election day to be counted, mail-in ballots can only be offered by request, and votes should be pre-counted to avoid a massive backlog. He argued that these changes would ensure the integrity of elections and prevent the current chaos.
Sources have confirmed to UMVA that USPS whistleblowers have raised concerns about California's election process, alleging that mail-in ballots are being counted without verifying the date they were sent. Hilton described the situation as "insane" and a "monument to their uselessness."
As the vote count continues, over three million ballots remain to be counted across the state, with roughly 340,000 votes separating Hilton from his closest opponent. The candidate's lead is shrinking, and the outcome of the election remains uncertain.
Meanwhile, investigators are taking a closer look at the election process, with the First Assistant US Attorney for the Central District of California announcing "multiple election fraud investigations" and a "comprehensive audit of California's voter rolls."
