In Cali, anybody can vote. You just fill out the form, and you are registered. There is no mechanism for checking if you are a citizen or not. You just say you are, and you vote. It is illegal to even ask if someone is a citizen at the polling booth, or to ask for ID. In fact, you can vote as many times as you want, by filling out multiple registration forms in different precincts.
It seems rather pointless anymore.
Ah, you answered my question.
Voting for the mayor in LA is like voting for American Idol.
