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.

Me too. Many people are stooopid here in Kalifornia, as evidenced by the # favoring Comrade Bernie. Anybody with half a brain waited to cast their ballot. I betting few of the wasted votes would have gone to Bernie, and now these numnuts will have to live with the fact that they helped him run up his margins.

Why don’t they just vote again, in another state?

Another reason early voting needs to be eliminated

I’m guessing all the Bernie votes have been tossed.

Idiotic early voting... that’s why it should be scrapped.

WE VOTED EARLY AS WE ARE SENIORS. IF WE DROPPED DEAD, THOSE 2 VOTES FOR TRUMP COUNT.

Some day early voting will elect a dead man.
Then you can REALLY laugh.

This will generate calls for that “ranked voting” system the far Left loves.

This is why early voting is such a horrible idea. We should go back to Election DAY.

“There’s no provision in California election law for a second chance...”

It’s indeed rare for a California fascist/communist/nazi to embrace law. The state should celebrate and declare a state holiday where everyone can vote everyday, all year long.

Do these delusional idiots actually think they’re going to be part of the process that determines the eventual Democrat nominee? The entire process is being determined right now behind closed doors that will never be open to them.

That’s the chance you take with that early voting nonsense.
