## Resource

California election fraud claims are flooding social media — and most of them fall apart under basic scrutiny. In this follow-up episode, longtime San Diego County poll worker W. Curtis Preston tackles the wave of viral fraud allegations head-on, with sources so you can check his work yourself. Topics covered: the LA mayoral race "statistically impossible" surge for Nithya Raman, the AP reporting error that got blamed on fraud, claims that Spencer Pratt voters were having ballots rejected for signatures, the "gym membership card" voter ID myth, the Skid Row "paid to vote" controversy, and yes — the one claim that turned out to be true (a woman who actually did register her dog to vote). If you've seen these claims and wondered whether there's anything to them, this episode walks through the actual data, the actual law, and the actual outcomes — no spin, just the facts from someone counting the votes. Here are some sources: Los Angeles 2026 Mayor primary results: https://results.lavote.gov/#year=2026&election=4338 Donald Trump got 27% of City of LA vote in 2024: https://xtown.la/2024/12/16/a-city-country-divide-more-than-70-percent-of-los-angeles-voters-picked-kamala-harris-for-president/ There were 12,700 rejected ballots in all of LA county: https://perma.cc/E5Y9-NURQ Orange County woman registered her dog: https://www.foxla.com/news/costa-mesa-woman-dog-voter-fraud-sentencing Heritage Foundation Voter Fraud Database: https://electionfraud.heritage.org/search
