Shawn Steel, husband of Rep. Michelle Steel, believes late ballot counts, legal in California but not elsewhere, contributed to Democrats winning several congressional seats in the state. Steel pointed to the 45th district where one-third of votes arrived after Election Day, leading to a narrow loss for Rep. Steel despite an initial lead. While Republicans retained control of the House, Steel argues that the shift in voting practices, including widespread absentee ballots, aided Democrats. He advocates for a return to traditional voting methods with in-person voting, photo ID, and pre-registration.
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.
“It all goes back to COVID, the way they changed the laws … they flooded the market with absentee ballots to everybody,” Steel toldHe added that one-third of the votes in the 45th district, which is an inland district in Orange County, came in after Election Day. Steel’s wife, Rep. Steel, was targeted by pro-choice groups over her pro-life stances, in a strategy Democrats adopted nationwide. But Shawn Steel maintained that she was beaten by the late ballot counts — perfectly legal in California, but outlawed in other parts of the country.
