Old photo of election envelopes misrepresented as trashed 2026 California ballots

Conservative influencers are claiming an image shows ballots for California's June 2, 2026 primary elections discarded in a Sonoma Valley dumpster, but this is false. In fact, the photo shows empty ballot return envelopes from a 2018 election -- not marked ballots -- that were being recycled in 2020 after being retained for 22 months in accordance with the state's laws.

"These ballots were found in a dumpster in Sonoma Valley, California. Nothing to see here," says text over the image posted June 8, 2026 on Facebook.

The post was shared by right-wing commentator Benny Johnson, whom AFP has repeatedly fact-checked for spreading disinformation and conspiracy theories, including about elections.

“Nothing short of treason”: Right-wing media ramp up attacks on Democratic officials, mainstream news, and Iran war critics as “traitors”

In the last month, right-wing media figures have labeled a wide range of people and entities they associate with the Democratic Party — from

Isabella Corrao, Jane Lee, and Helena Hind at MMFA:

In the last month, right-wing media figures have labeled a wide range of people and entities they associate with the Democratic Party — from former President Barack Obama to mainstream media figures and critics of the Iran War — as “traitors,” in some cases explicitly demanding they be tried for treason and put to death. This rhetoric showcases the right's escalation and propensity for more extreme reactions during the second Trump administration.

Right-wing media hacks attack those opposed to the Iran War or the Trump Regime as “traitors”, mimicking the same campaign under Bush 43 that tarred Iraq War critics.

I'm watching this video about debunking maga myths about the housing market and I hear this maga grifter piece of shit (Benny Johnson) call people who are less fortunate the parasite class....

Parasite class - That shit really struck a nerve.

Telling your audience that people who have less than them are the problem.

Not that the president of the United States is actively using the White House as his own personal fucking bank account.

Let's not talk about the fucking billionaires exploiting the working class to accumulate even more fucking wealth that they'll never be able to fucking spend in a lifetime!!!

Let's not talk about corporations like Walmart who reported total revenue of roughly $713.2 billion, a 4.7% increase from the previous year because they pay their fucking employees next to nothing forcing most of them to have to rely on government assistance....

Parasite class - You fucking piece of shit!!!

immigrants built this fucking country and continue to do so every fucking day while you sit behind a microphone and stoke the fire ...

Earning millions of dollars telling your audience poor people are the problem....

Probably the CIA.

Typical MAGA 'alpha'.

Imagine making being a performative cospatriot your entire personality and then being exposed as a Russian stooge. 😂😂😂

The Most Hysterical SNL Skit Ever…Really🤣

I was confused by this SNL skit. After the dog just states facts and logic. They even threatened to shoot the dog. I'm kind of blown away how funny this skit was for lamppooning politics. Then I thought for a moment. Are they making fun of MAGA and Trump or Democrats?

[14:53] lol bars! but even this shorthand is not without flaws as are every condensed saying, since it fails to accomodate the flux of life & the many ways we take two steps forward & however many steps back—I'd much prefer vulnerability to the age old men don't cry militant masculinity..oh the weight of pretense, why go back to that???
