UPDATE 11/11/22 TO THE KERN COUNTY ELECTION DEPARTMENT AND THE DAILY INDEPENDENT: What’s Up With The Mastheads?

We noticed that today, Kern County changed their masthead from “Unofficial FINAL Results” on November 9th (below), to “Unofficial UPDATED Results” (above) on November 11th. For three days after the polls closed, anyone that looked up results just might have been stupid enough to believe the election results were “final” albeit unofficial.

November 9 through November 11 masthead: Unofficial Final Results as of 11/9/2022 2:14:22 AM

It may seem like a minor mistake but nah, we think Kern County wants the average noob to check the website and assume the results are final. Nothing to see here, just winners and losers, all is well, no worries, move along. The Kern County Elections department couldn’t be so incompetent to make such an obvious and silly mistake, could they?

Let’s say another noob by the name of John Watkins, the publisher of The Daily Independent newspaper and one of the more well-informed and well-connected players in Kern County’s politics, and who’s definitely a “friend of Kevin”, goes to the same Kernvote website and publishes the masthead below, knowing full well the election results are nowhere near “final”.

You see people, this is how the game is played. It would be absurd to think anything so wrongly titled could confuse the public and The Daily Independent at the same time. Right? Nobody could be so stupid to think the “unofficial FINAL results” posted at 2:11 a.m. Wednesday morning could actually be FINAL? No way.

You believe what you want to believe, but don’t be a noob like John Watkins.

And why would it take three days to correct the heading on both Kern County’s election page and The Daily Independent’s masthead anyway? LOL. It’s probably just pure coincidence, incompetence (not) or a competently executed three day misinformation play designed to demoralize the opposition, like Fox calling Arizona for Biden in 2020.

California’s election result shows a dramatic loss of voter participation. We’ve illustrated the fact that California’s mail-in ballot system is corrupted beyond repair. It’s something Kevin McCarthy and The Daily Independent would rather not talk about. They like things just the way they are.
