This week the Los Angeles City Council voted 10-5 to place an election reform proposition on the November ballot. Councilman Hugo Soto-Martinez explained "most members of the Council are tired of the nonstop harassment over voter ID we're getting from Republicans at the local and national level. I mean, the insistence that voting ought to be confined to citizens is simply unfair. Everyone who resides in the City should have a say in who governs them. This includes individuals who have no mailing address. Why should the homeless and poorest inhabitants of our City be denied a voice?"
The Councilman pointed out "that by eliminating the citizenship restriction we will protect ourselves from the invasion of federal officials trying to ding us for votes cast by undocumented immigrants. Party workers will be free to visit homeless encampments, nursing homes, public housing, businesses, bus stations--anywhere where people may be encountered--register them on-the-spot, help them fill out their ballots and harvest those votes."
He admitted that "some folks will be registered and vote more than once, but I don't see this as a major problem. Almost all of them are voting for the same candidates anyway. So, it's not like we would be distorting the final results by very much. Since we won't need to take the time to verify signatures the final vote tallies will be completed more quickly and the results announced within days rather than weeks as has been the norm under the current system. Hopefully, this will silence the complaints about long delays in determining the winners."
In other California news, the Democrats in the state legislature have drafted a bill (AB 1967) that will allow children to divorce themselves from their parents. Assemblymember Rick Chavez Zbur (D-District 51) explained "under the bill a child can petition the court to remove his or her parents' custodial authority and substitute county child welfare control or foster placement. If the child is moved to a home or institution that affirms her or his transgender identity they can be given given access to sex-changing drugs and surgery. The gender tyranny of right-wing parents can be replaced by loving affirmation of the child's chosen sex."

The poor and the homeless can have a voice. If they are US citizens.
Yep... they’re that f’n stupid.
And, especially, all of the dead homeless. They deserve a ballot or ten.
What happens in Los Angeles affects the world economy, Why can't those people have a voice too? We should be sending ballots to Senegal, Mongolia, and Lesotho too!
They’re homeless and I bet most couldn’t care less about voting but crooked democrats do
The insistence that voting ought to be confined to citizens is simply unfair.
Gee Moe that sounds like a kickback deal in action?.
War on landlords.
