The Real Jim Crow 2.0 In California
For five years, the left called voter ID “Jim Crow 2.0.”
They had it backwards. Completely.
How many times over the last five years have we heard Sen. Chuck Schumer and Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries rail about how enforcing ANY voter laws or election administration is tantamount to Jim Crow 2.0.
The REAL Jim Crow 2.0 isn’t about making it harder to vote. It’s about building a system so deliberately opaque that your legitimate vote can be diluted, duplicated, or replaced — and no one will ever be able to prove it.
Reference our latest example showing on our screens for the last week, California 2026 and specifically the LA mayors race.
Never before have we seen a vote count move like this AFTER the in-person VOTING DAY.
Again, keep in mind this is after the in-person vote was counted.
Even Charlie Kirk called California’s voting system corrupt…and this was WAY BACK in 2019. Even before COVID. See below
Now in the latest news, a U.S. Attorney has been sent to investigate the election shenanigans. Read that story here.
Let’s hope we get to the bottom of this but as VP Vance said earlier this week, “seems pretty shady to me.”
Has it happened before?
Going back in history, one of the most notorious election rigging scandals in US history was Boss Tweeds Tammany Hall (1853-1871). He was ruthless for 18 years rigging elections and bribing officials. His election scams in New York City basically turned voting into a staged performance, where the result was often locked in long before an honest ballot got counted.
His Tammany Hall crew used every trick in the book: they paid “repeaters” to vote over and over under different names, stuffed ballot boxes with fake votes, and slipped cash or threats to election officials who might cause trouble. And if all that still didn’t give them the numbers they wanted, they just doctored the returns so Tammany candidates ended up with more votes than there were eligible voters in a neighborhood. That’s the world behind Tweed’s line that it wasn’t the ballots that mattered, but the people counting them. With muscle from street gangs and help from friendly cops, Tweed’s ring turned New York elections into a warning story about how you can keep the appearance of democracy while quietly gutting the substance.
Sounds alot like today, doesn’t it??
and frankly the worst offenses in US history are too numerous to document because they were the original Jim Crow voting restrictions pushed by white southerners (Democrats) after Reconstruction in 1876 and until the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Those examples are too numerous to mention in this piece.
Today, though, California didn’t stumble into this system. They built it. Piece by piece. With help from many friends.
Former Army Captain and military intelligence analyst Seth Keshel spent years studying election anomalies county by county across America. In his fascinating book The American War on Election Corruption, he identifies what he calls the “Eight Cardinal Sins” of election administration:
Automatic voter registration
Universal mail-in voting
Ballot harvesting
Same-day voter registration
Prolonged counting
Unique corruption
Ranked choice voting
No voter ID
California doesn’t just check a few of these boxes. It checks nearly ALL of them.
Here’s what that looks like on the ground:
No voter ID — cast a ballot without proving who you are
Universal mail-in voting — ballots go to every registered address, including outdated, vacant, and deceased registrations
Legal ballot harvesting — third parties collect and submit unlimited ballots with no meaningful oversight
Votes counted up to 10 days after Election Day (received within 7 days) — results shift dramatically after election night, consistently in one direction
The original Jim Crow used poll taxes and literacy tests to surgically neutralize specific voters. The new version doesn’t target individuals. Its different. It floods the system — corrupting the entire pool so that no single act of fraud can ever be isolated or prosecuted.
Same result. Industrialized mechanism.
Later this week, I’m going deeper — into what California’s own recent elections reveal about how this system operates, and into Keshel’s own words on the three sins doing the most damage.
