From Breitbart: Shawn Steel, the Republican National Committee members for California, told Breitbart News Sunday that Democrats won several congressional seats in the Golden State because ballots received after Election Day were counted — a practice that would have been illegal in other states.
Steel is the husband of Rep. Michelle Steel (R-CA), who lost narrowly to Democratic challenger Derek Tran by 603 votes, though she led by 10,000 on Election Day.
“It all goes back to COVID, the way they changed the laws … they flooded the market with absentee ballots to everybody,” Steel told Breitbart News Sunday. His wife won Election Day votes, and even absentee ballots, but lost big among ballots collected in drop boxes.
He added that one-third of the votes in the 45th district, which is an inland district in Orange County, came in after Election Day.
Republican incumbents lost three seats in California, and narrowly missed flipping a Democrat-held seat, all through late ballot counts, which is legal in California but illegal in other states.
Steel said all those candidates were ahead of several thousands votes on election night, but the counting continued for days, until Democrats had been declared the winners.
He said in his wife’s case, 78,000 votes were received after election day but they were still counted.

Thank you for your service. We appreciate your work and dedication. CA election system needs serious reforms. It is shame that they took 3 weeks to count the votes.
