In the wild, wild world of politics, there’s always room for more drama, and Spencer Pratt has delivered a political bombshell like no other. The man known for his reality TV antics is now venturing into the real-life saga of election integrity, claiming California is the epicenter of ballot shenanigans. Ahead of former President Donald Trump’s much-anticipated address on election integrity, Pratt has turned the spotlight on ballot harvesting, a topic that’s raising eyebrows and conversations all around.

So, what is this ballot harvesting? For those who don’t speak political jargon, it’s a practice where a third party collects completed ballots from voters and drops them off at official voting sites. Sounds convenient, right? Well, only if you trust the person doing the collecting. In most states, this practice is a big no-no, but California, always one to march to its own drum, allows it. Critics argue that it opens Pandora’s box for fraud and funny business with its lack of oversight and accountability.

Before 2016, a voter had to be ill for someone else to return their ballot, and even then, it had to be a family member. Fast forward to 2016, and suddenly anyone could return your ballot, no questions asked. Supporters of the practice argue it aids those in remote areas or the elderly. However, skeptics see it as a plot allowing political operatives to “help” voters in ways that might not be entirely above board. After all, who’s stopping these helpers from giving advice on who to vote for or mishandling ballots they don’t like?

As Pratt sensationalizes it, California’s system is so outlandish that even the LA Times had to shake its head, noting the obvious room for coercion and fraud. Imagine a parade of activists cruising through neighborhoods, collecting donations—oops, ballots—from whoever’s willing to hand them over. In an election where every vote should count, removing ballots from homes without oversight makes every residence a private polling station waiting for a mix-up.

Pratt’s proposal? Vote by phone! Yes, he argues that if we can secure our banking, medical records, and travel with smartphones, why can’t we secure our voting? Each phone vote would go anonymously to a public ledger, ensuring accuracy and security. While that’s an intriguing futuristic vision, it’s a stark contrast to the “old-school” voting system currently in place, which leaves the door open for misadventures.

With Pratt meeting Trump, there’s a sense of anticipation over what might come next. The Save America Act looms on the horizon as a potential remedy to these voting woes. With Senator Ted Cruz voicing support to push it through, if piecemeal, there’s hope for reform. Until then, Pratt’s crusade continues. With a flair for drama and an eye for the unconventional, he’s determined to keep the focus on voting security, no matter who gets ruffled along the way.
