Counting votes in Los Angeles County in November 2018
In our era of mail-in ballots, there are still many votes to be counted in California. But here’s what we know so far, at this moment, with 100% of California’s voting precincts partially reporting:
U.S. House of Representatives: Nationally, it will take 18 seats to flip from blue to red for Republicans to recapture the U.S. House and remove Nancy Pelosi’s gavel. Already 5 House seats outside of California have flipped, and RealClearPolitics says “Republicans Poised to Pick Up Over Ten Seats in House”
Adding to this national count are 1 to 4 flipped seats that could still occur in California. Here are the updated vote totals as of 6:21 p.m. on November 4:
In CD 21, Republican David Valadao is 3,033 votes ahead of Democrat TJ Cox
In CD 48, Republican Michelle Steel is 2,851 votes ahead of Democrat Harley Rouda
In CD 39, Republican Young Kim is 1,503 votes ahead of Democrat Gil Cisneros
In CD 25, Republican Mike Garcia is 1,722 votes behind Democrat Christy Smith
Worst California propositions defeated: In California, it was a victory for what’s right in God’s sight when Proposition 22 resoundingly won freedom for gig-economy drivers (Uber, Lyft, Doordash, Postmates, Instacart) to work as independent contractors, rather than as employees. This victory paves the way for the eventual elimination of the Democrat politicians’ destructive, dysfunctional, and tyrannical AB 5.
More good news is the worst propositions are current losing:
Prop. 15 raising property taxes of commercial and industrial properties
Prop. 16 legalizing both racial and sex discrimination in government jobs
Prop. 21 statewide rent control (would have resulted in fewer places to rent)
Prop. 23 oppressive regulation of kidney dialysis (would have resulted in fewer clinics)
And now the bad news: Due to lack of money to inform California voters on a massive scale, Prop. 20 was defeated. This good, corrective proposition would have made our streets safer by restricting early parole for more violent crimes, and by permitting more mostly non-violent crimes to be treated as felonies, rather than misdemeanors.
Bad propositions that passed because most people didn’t know what they were voting for:
Prop. 14 to spend $7.8 BILLION in taxpayer dollars for more research on dead pre-born babies’ stem cells, which has been an utter, unethical failure
Prop. 17 to permit tens of thousands of convicts who were released early (paroled) to vote
Prop. 19 to impose taxes when non-primary-residential property is inherited
Prop. 24 to create a new online privacy bureaucracy that’s likely to make things worse
Thank you for voting and for helping others to vote. California’s results could have been worse, and could have been better. But SaveCalifornia.com knows it was better because of your patriotic participation!
When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29:2
Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms. James 5:13
California has 58 counties. In 2018, John Cox, the Republican candidate for governor, won 28 counties; of those, 6 have rebelled against Democrat Gavin Newsom’s destructive lockdown.
Do you believe the “cure” of the lockdown is worse than COVID-19 itself? Then you’re invited to join SaveCalifornia.com’s campaign to fully reopen California. The strongest and fastest way to take back territory is by lobbying boards of county supervisors.
Already, six conservative counties have rebelled against Gov. Gavin Newsom’s destructive lockdown, and are permitting most, if not all, businesses to reopen. There are 22 remaining counties that voted Republican. Which ones can you help to declare liberty?
PLEASE TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION
Copy and paste SaveCalifornia.com’s message into your own email and send to the county supervisors in 22 conservative counties won by Republican John Cox in the 2018 governor’s race. We’ve found their email addresses to make this easy. Unless you’re emailing your own county supervisors, you should not reveal your name, address, or any other identifying information, if possible. Type a relevant subject line, such as “Fully open _____ County now.” It is OK to email all five supervisors of a particular county at the same time.
COPY OR EDIT OUR SUGGESTED MESSAGE (this is somewhat “hard,” since these boards are insensitive and irresponsible to how they’re hurting real people):
I strongly urge you to immediately and fully end this harmful, unnecessary lockdown, as Modoc, Sutter, Yuba, Stanislaus, Kings, Tulare, and Colusa counties have done. A continued lockdown makes no sense when COVID-19’s death rate is 3X lower than the seasonal flu, when the COVID-19 recovery rate is above 97%, and when COVID-19 death counts are being fraudulently padded. People are being financially destroyed. Attempted suicide, alcohol abuse, drug abuse, and child abuse are all going up. Please put a stop to this and don’t hide behind your appointed health officer. You represent us and need to protect our livelihoods. Fully lift the lockdown now, so everyone can get back to work right away.

If the always-paid government bureaucracy wanted to kill off capitalism, they’re not wasting this opportunity. For every day, small businesses fail because they “aren’t open.”
Yet if you stay closed like the government wants, you might be committing financial suicide. Ask yourself — how long can you go without income?
Small business owners shouldn’t be overly-afraid of the government. Have you heard of a single business owner being fined for staying fully open during the virus scare? I haven’t. And so what if you’re fined? Wouldn’t a couple hundred dollars be a small price to pay compared to all the value you’ll receive by staying open?
And consider the various “bugs” that can be on every public door handle — whether it’s coronavirus, the flu, stomach flu, strep throat, pink eye, or the common cold. Which is why small business owners who are “open for business” should exercise (and require from their customers) an improved level of good hygiene.
What’s more, the “cure” for COVID-19 might already be here. On Sunday, the FDA approved the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine sulfate. Millions of doses are being donated to the nation’s hospitals right now.
Is the COVID-19 lockdown overkill? One decade ago, America had another epidemic. But the 2009-2010 swine flu occurred when there was a Democrat in the White House, who the Big Media protected, and the opposition party Republicans did not politicize the virus.
The swine flu’s death toll was higher than (or some might argue, similar to) COVID-19. “According to the CDC from April 2009 to April 2010 there were about 60.8 million cases of the swine flu with 12,469 deaths in the United States. Unlike COVID-19, swine flu targeted the younger population, who health officials said had little to no existing immunity.” Source
Yet now we have a Republican president, who the Big Media hates, and who the opposition party Democrats seem to blame for everything. They unsuccessfully tried to oust him twice. Is it the Big Media’s turn to defeat Trump by eliminating his booming economy?
We are now at a point where the cure is worse than the disease. As R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr. wrote a week ago: “… we need not destroy our economy over this pandemic …The state we had arrived at by last weekend was explained cogently by Bob Luddy, the CEO and founder of CaptiveAire, in The American Spectator on Monday. He wrote: “Our leaders are creating an economic crisis and a major national security risk with limited data. The cure is far worse than any perceived impact by COVID-19.”
For small business owners, and workers who’ve been laid off without pay, the big question is how much more financial bleeding can you stand? Big stores like Wal-Mart and Target haven’t closed. So why must you?
For the sake of your constitutional rights, your God-given ownership rights, your family, and your in-born need to succeed, I encourage you to be “open for business,” along with taking wise steps of good hygiene. Don’t let the establishment destroy your livelihood!
