Victor Davis Hanson: Democracy Is Dying in California

from The Daily Signal · host The Daily Signal

California has transformed into a single-party monopoly where the legislative, executive, and judicial branches actively subvert the will of the voters. Through lax voting laws, ballot harvesting, and a lack of voter identification requirements, the state has institutionalized a system where early conservative leads are routinely erased weeks after Election Day.  The controversy surrounding Spencer Pratt, Nithya Raman, and the Los Angeles mayoral race is connected to a broader pattern that crushes democracy every time, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”  👉Go to JoinADF.com/HANSON or Text HANSON to 83848 to help support Alliance Defending Freedom’s work!HTTPS://WWW.JOINADF.COM/HANSON.COM  👉 The Daily Signal cannot continue to tell stories, like this one, without the support of our viewers: http://dailysignal.com/donate 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest short videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.
