California’s Secretary of State Shirley Weber shared a false narrative to cover-up the state’s totally broken and uncertifiable elections.
Democrat California Secretary of State Shirley Weber took to social media Wednesday to say the reason why the state takes weeks to process election votes is due to the fact that it would cost up to an estimated $110,000 in each county per election.
What would “faster vote counting” actually cost?

This statement by Weber is totally misleading and false on so many levels. It is a good example of a limited hangout where she focuses on a small piece of a much greater problem.
But then again, Secretary of State Shirley Weber, PhD, claimed the 2024 Election in California was “safe, free, fair, and accessible to all”.
As noted previously, the only thing accurate in that statement was that the elections were “accessible to all” with an estimated 3.8 million non-citizens on California’s voter rolls, the 2024 election was accessible to non-citizens as well as citizens.
Currently elections in California are a mess under Weber. Voter rolls are bloated with non-citizens, drop boxes and ballot harvesting are legal. Electronic voting machines are in use and voter-ID requests at polling places are outlawed. The state is looking more and more like a communist state due to its bogus elections where corrupt politicians cannot be voted out of office.
So Weber this week makes a statement that elections will cost $110,000 per county to have elections completed on election day. This statement discounts the millions of dollars spend on electronic voting machines across the state. Get rid of the machines and go to hand counts and she could save hundreds of millions for the state.
Per a discussion with Chriss Street, CEO New California State, and Former Treasurer of Orange County, CA, the costs of performing elections in one county in California he estimates at $1.85 per vote. However, the costs of doing the same counting using voting machines is over $10 per vote.
Street explained that the real costs of voting machines is not the initial costs of the machines, but rather the annual costs to keep using the machines. This is where large expenses are incurred. It’s like the old business marketing strategy of give away the razors and sell the blades.
If California Secretary of State really wanted to save the state likely hundreds of millions in election costs, she would recommend going to paper hand counts. Plus election results could be announced the next day.
It doesn’t appear that decreasing election costs are Secretary of State Weber’s real goal.
