The New York Post claimed that Rep. Eric Swalwell's name was erased from the sign outside his congressional office this week, portraying it as evidence of Democratic efforts to consolidate power in California. The article links this to allegations of census inflation from illegal migration, granting the state extra House seats and electoral votes under 15 years of Democratic control. All claims remain unverified from a single source, with counterpoints noting California's loss of a House seat in 2020.
