Larry Elder Conceded Defeat And Blamed Voter Fraud Before California Recall Election Even Happened

Conservative talk show host and California gubernatorial candidate accidentally conceded defeat in the recall election BEFORE in-person voting actually took place, and immediately blamed his impending loss on voter fraud. Elder even launched a new website about the alleged fraud, which raised a bunch of eyebrows considering no results had even been released yet...because the election hadn't even happened. This is just further proof that the fraud lie is the only fraud out there, but that won't stop Republicans, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

Republican talk show host, Larry Elder, who for a brief hot moment looked like there was a chance he could be California's next governor, um, accidentally conceded defeat earlier this week before the real recall election actually even happened. And yes, you've had the mail-in ballots coming in for, for weeks now. You've had early voting. But the official day was yesterday, Tuesday. But on Monday, Larry Elder, I think accidentally made a website live where he talked about his loss before he had even lost and then automatically blamed it on voter fraud, right. Before any results were even released Larry Elder was blaming voter fraud and the website said this, we implore you. Join us in this fight as you are able primarily by signing our petition demanding a special session of the California legislature to investigate and ameliorate the twisted results of this 2021 recall election of governor Gavin Newsom.

You didn't even have any results yet. You had nothing, nothing official at all. And you were already calling for a special session of the legislature to investigate your bogus claims of voter fraud. What this tells me is that they know it's a farce and honestly, if it doesn't tell you that, then you're clearly not paying attention. Everybody should be able to walk away with that takeaway. I'm not breaking any news here to you. But here's the thing, folks, his accidental making this website live the day before the election took place. It gives up the entire game, and this is what Democrats need to be focusing on right now. This is the messaging. The messaging is they were prepared to blame this on election fraud before even a single vote had been released. Even a, you know, the counts had been released. And of course we do know that because Trump's already said it.

He said it last week, Tomi Lahren on Fox news said it last week. Larry Elder releases this before any of the vote counts come out. They were planning on doing this from the start based on zero evidence at all, because that is how Republicans are going to run elections moving forward. Anytime they don't win, any time they're polling down after being up, they're going to say it's fraud. They're going to say it's fake. And they're going to demand recounts and audits and special sessions and whatever, because they want that power so badly but the public continues to reject them. So I don't know. I don't know if Democrats are going to jump on this. I don't know if they're going to, you know, talk about this in the media, maybe run some ads talking about they were blaming voter fraud before they even knew what the votes were, but they should.

They need to do it to explain to the public, right. The average people out there that do not consume political news the way you and I do. Those people need to understand that Republicans have a new fallback for when they lose elections and it is to cry fraud. They did it in Georgia. They did it in Arizona. They're doing it in California. They're trying to do it in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. They're trying to do it every place they lost. Hell, they're even trying to do it in five counties in Florida, that Joe Biden won. They know they cannot win elections. They know the public is rejecting them.
