From CalMatters.org:
Of the nearly 10.6 million ballots counted as of Sept. 17, nearly 4.7 million, or 44%, did not include a choice for the replacement candidate. That’s compared to the 2.8 million votes, or 26%, that went for the flesh-and-blood frontrunner Larry Elder. If “nobody” were a candidate, he or she would be crushing the competition.

Reminded me of a fact I noted back in November: Biden was the first presidential candidate in my lifetime to receive more votes than "nobody" if you include the entire population of eligible voters.

But he didn’t win. No way. Just look at the attendance at TFG’s rallies.

She just gave (not lent, GAVE) him $5K to bridge the gap between quitting his job and retirement checks starting. Typical redneck, he didn't even have enough savings to tide him over. :roll:

hope you and the rest of the family are happy for voting to give military equipment to the TALIBAN who immediately transported it to Iran. You Woke assholes voted to destroy America. You are not my family. I will defend my country just as they did in the civil war, That's what you assholes voted for and that"s what you are going to get. Gavin Newsome is a piece of shit that is ruining California but you voted for total destruction. Business and people are making a mass exodus and all of you Woke asses hate America and trust me, when you come to my place you will be met with anything I can get my hands on.
You idiots want peace? Bullshit.
