Ausmus responds to Assembly Republicans’ ‘pretend concern’ over how long it takes to count California ballots published in LassenNews.com

I pretend to ‘not understand’ why a group of folks who say they represent the California Republicans pretend to not know why it takes California a long time to count the votes.

Pretending. In a time of pretend wars to solve pretend threats or other silly stuff, maybe we should stop pretending and do something about things. It is senseless to worry about what may happen if pretending stops and stupidity takes over.

It has been said that America will usually do the right thing after trying everything else, first. Over the years, the various way of cheating and questioning the accuracy of elections have created legislation and through regulations, make cheating very difficult and easy to detect. It is best to be accurate when counting my vote, thank you.

My vote is just as important as your vote, so take the time it takes to count our votes. There is no hurry because what is important is that everything must be correct. We have been told it might take up to 30 days to get every voted counted and each vote must be processed properly and if there is fraud by a voter or group, they will be tracked down and like the dirty dogs they are and thrown into the cold, cold prison.

Besides, if the count is rushed, someone might throw a bundle of ballots in when no one is looking and a correct count will never occur.
