Californians who already voted for Buttigieg or Steyer grapple with desire for a do-over
LA Times ^ | March 1, 2020 | John Myers

There may be plenty of second chances in life, but there are very few when it comes to voting — a bitter pill to swallow for those Californians who voted for any of the presidential candidates who dropped out before Tuesday’s statewide election. The sudden exit from the race Sunday by Pete Buttigieg, former mayor of South Bend, Ind., sparked some brief interest on social media about the rules governing a possible revote. No doubt similar questions were raised by those who cast early absentee ballots for Tom Steyer, the billionaire climate change activist who left the race Saturday.

The answer, in a word: no. There’s no provision in California election law for a second chance once a ballot has been mailed or cast in person at a polling place or regional vote center.

Funny how the California Democrats, nor any Democrat, really, ever figure it out.

But they keep on voting Democrat.

No, you cannot fix stupid.

I think this an overlooked story that will hurt the DNC and their stooge creepy joe

over 7M ballots early voting mostly in CA and TX - all those ‘moderate’ Buttplug, Klobitcher, Steyer votes wasted....

here in WA State, 25% of total ballots were in as of last week

Tough schiff. This is what you get when you give up on the tried and true.

These idiot democrat votes are all for naught anyway.

And they know it. Democrats are not voting for anyone. In as much as they are protest voting AGAINST Trump.

Sucks for them. We had to vote for McCain, then Mittens. Now it’s there turn to vote for a loser.

Don’t vote for a low performing candidate by early ballot.

Seems like a no-brainer rule.

Well that's a shame. If you are stupid enough to vote for candidates that are obviously not going to make the cut, you are too stupid to be voting in the first place.

The only fair thing is to allow them to recast their ballots.

We should also allow non citizens to participate since it is just a primary.

Tear down those walls to equality!

RATS, typically, are not known for critical thinking. I know, understatement.

You got that right!
“Dumb Ass”
CA setup early voting so they could push the people THEY wanted.
Now they can live with it.

Does it say who they’d support if they had a do-over?

I’m confused, they voted in their primary or early voting for the general election?

This is exactly why NOT TO VOTE early. Who benefits from early voting?

Me for one. Instead of an hour wait in line at the precinct on election day, 5 minutes at the library.
