Reports are rolling into talk radio stations in San Diego about massive Republican vote suppression.
Thousands of Republican voters in San Diego and as far north as Los Angeles showed up to vote on Tuesday only to be told that they were registered "Non-Partisan". This meant that they could not vote for the Republican Primary candidates.
Non-Partisan (independent) voters in California can vote for Candidates in any other party, including the Democrat party, but are prohibited from voting in the Republican Primary unless they are registered as a Republican.
Rick Roberts [http://www.760kfmb.com] is currently reporting on this and has had hundreds of calls and thousands of e-mails from people who showed up to vote only to be told they were not registered as Republcans. Reports began rolling into the Roger Hedgecock show yesterday.
Several people have called in saying they witnessed this happening at polling place they worked at as volunteers. One gentleman stated that he believed at least 20% of the Republicans that showed up to vote were denied a Republican primary form because the roster showed them as "Non-Partisan".
The Republican Party in California has begun investigating this issue, but the mainstream media continues to report that Californias election "went smoothly".
It seems clear that someone or some group managed to tamper with the voter registration rolls. Either by direct access to the Registrars computer system, or by gaining access to voter information and then sending in registration cards in their name.
Southern California was projected to go heavily in favor in Mitt Romny.
I don’t believe this was done to suppress a Romny vote, though it may have had that result. This is California. Most government workers are Democrats, including those that work for the registrars.
This was done by one or more Democrats to screw with Republican votes—period.
I am exaggerating, but with super delegates, electoral college, court decisions, and money, it’s hard to prove your case. If logic and facts mean I belong on another forum, what would they say about anyone who remained, after I left? But thanx for playing the gatekeeper.
Yes, and I have the purple stub to prove it.......
You are wrong. Without exception, those calling in or e-mailing the radio shows say they have always been Registered as Republicans and showed up to the polls expecting to vote as such. Somewhere, somehow, their party affiliation was changed without their knowledge.
bump for later
Right after they figure out the Florida 2000 mess..........
This was a full-time employee and an airhead. So the dem part can be easily inferred : ).
Rush just nailed it! Huckleberry is the McCain stalking horse and is too stupid to realize it! How encouraging is that?
A co-worker of mine had had some difficulty getting his name onto the rolls after having moved, so he went to a nearby polling place to vote and asked for a provisional ballot. He was told that they “weren’t giving out provisional ballots.”
Yeah, I thought about that after I posted. Good catch.
I’ll co-sign for ops. We had many 12 or so who claimed to be life-time repubs and no change of address or any other contact with the registrar’s office.
The most likely cause is a computer pattern or incompetence within the registrar’s office. But that would be too simple.
—
Simple? could be .. or.. every county has its own registrar of voters office, if I’m not mistaken.. this does need a good looking into.. Incompetence would need to be statewide or collusion in many of those offices..
It does need to be looked into.. now,some of you trying to downplay it , keep it up, but be aware that be it chicanery intentional or otherwise, we need to get the ball rolling.
The switch to open primary and back to semi-closed primary is one large source of the current confusion.
You are a newbie on a conservative forum espousing a liberal view. Every poster is a "gatekeeper" as we can ask the mods to check a suspicious poster. And you are skating on thin ice.
I hope he got those poll worker's names and the name of their supervisor. His rights were violated.
If this happened to you, please contact them.
Glad to see people so blase about vote fraud. Bodes well for the future of the Republic.
I, too, was surprised they let me choose which ballot I wanted even thought I’m registered non-partisan. I thought I would only be allowed a non-partisan ballot.
I did receive a helpful mailer from the Dems a couple of weeks ago that told me, as a non-partisan, I could ask for a Democrat ballot.
I don’t think he did, but I told him to contact the registrar’s office today. This, incidentally, was in Riverside County.
This also happened to my wife in the bay area!
