Yes, Virginia, elections are stolen, and it isn't just the Republicans who do it. It is a bi-partisan effort. Yesterday, hundreds of thousands of voters in California were disenfranchised. Let's review the evidence shall we, beginning with this report in the LA Times, "'It was just chaos': Broken machines, incomplete voter rolls leave some wondering whether their ballots will count":

California voters faced a tough time at the polls Tuesday, with many voters saying they have encountered broken machines, polling sites that opened late and incomplete voter rolls, particularly in Los Angeles County. The result? Instead of a quick in-and-out vote, many California voters were handed the dreaded pink provisional ballot — which takes longer to fill out, longer for election officials to verify and which tends to leave voters wondering whether their votes will be counted. [...] It’s difficult to get a sense for how widespread the problems are or how they compare to recent elections. But experts said the culprit for Tuesday’s voting problems seems to be a confluence of factors — old voting machines, a competitive election that has drawn new voters, plus complex state voting laws that can be hard for poll volunteers and voters to follow. [...] When Sanders supporter Brandon Silverman, 29, showed up at his polling station in Echo Park at 8:15 a.m., he said poll workers immediately handed him a provisional ballot, explaining that their machine wasn’t working yet. The full list of voters’ names for the precincts also seemed to be missing.

Now for a few screenshots of voters in California telling us went they witnessed:

That doesn't sound good, does it. But wait, here is more:

On social media, many California voters reported showing up to their polling sites only to find that their names were not listed on the voting rolls, leaving them to cast a provisional ballot. Sanders supporter Jonathan Daniel Brown accused Democrats of “purging votes” when he discovered he was not on the voting rolls at his polling station despite being registered.

Incomplete voter rolls. Voter purges. People's names missing. Broken machines. Provisional ballots being forced on voters. Where have I heard this story before? Oh yes, in Ohio, Election Day, 2004.

I saw or heard about from my fellow [Election Protection] volunteers that day: the long lines, the broken machines, the refusal of the BOE to respond, outrageous election challenges by GOP operatives, cars with bullhorns cruising minority neighborhoods warning people that police would arrest people who owed past due child care or parking tickets, names purged from voting rolls, last minute changes to polling places, refusals to hand our provisional ballots ...

Nice to see the Democratic Party has caught up to the GOP on how to win elections, at least for the "chosen one."

Of course the election officials had their ready made excuses. They always do. But I don't believe any of the ones I saw in the LA Times' report that were offered. So what did yesterday's vote mean?

Writer Allison Bloom, 41, took her kids with her when she went to vote at the Kahal Joseph Congregation synagogue in Westwood on Tuesday morning. “I wanted to show them what voting means,” Bloom said. But when she arrived, she said workers couldn’t boot up the vote-counting machine. Bloom left behind her ballot, with a worker promising it would be counted. Bloom said her kids asked, “Is this what it’s always like?” “It was just chaos,” Bloom said. “It was kind of an unfortunate first experience at the polls for them.”

Yeah, it is "kind of unfortunate" we live in a sham democracy. But hey, at least dead people still get to vote. Zombie nation must be very happy their ballots get counted.

For a rundown on the pre-election shenanigans in California check out this article at Heavy.com from May 28th. And this is a nice summary of how "both parties do it" at Consortium News. As for me, I agree with Election Fraud Watch 2016: this wasn't an election, it was a coup.

But hey, we will get over it right? I'm sure we will unite behind Hillary. By the way, expect a lot of this coming to your TV and radio soon: FEAR THE TRUMP!!! FEAR THE TRUMP!!!

I can hear it now.

I'll let you be the judge on how effective a campaign slogan that will be.
