I joined America's Voice on Real America's Voice with Terrance Bates filling in for Steve Gruber to break down the Hollywood-level chaos unfolding in California politics, from Spencer Pratt exposing problems in the Los Angeles race to Steve Hilton's uphill battle for governor. We dug into the real question voters are asking: does their vote actually count when mail-in ballots, print-at-home ballots, and Democrat-run election systems keep producing more “shenanigans” than a badly written Netflix reboot?
