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.

Nothing to apologize for. I can see you have important news and the indifference is frustrating.

Sorry about double posts. My server seems to be bogging down a bit. Might be because of all the storms in south
California’s Republican Party will undoubtedly get right on this. You can expect to have an answer to what took place around a year from now.
California Dems let independents vote in their primary, unlike the Republicans. No one registered Independent denied the ability to vote for the Dems=no outcry.
The Clinton machine has spent years setting up the fraud that will give he the win in November - millions of illegals voting, all kinds of phony registrations, mail-in ballots, same day registrations...
Our democracy is being stolen and there seems to be nothing we can do, outside of revolt, to stop it.. Democrats and republicans all over the country cheating and passing legislation to make it easier to cheat..
Oh that is right Arnold did say that and he said that needs to be changed.
This is how Democrats win elections, and get the likes of McCain nominated as Republicans. Massive voter fraud is the order of the day.
We are so screwed.
They did the same thing in the Inland Empire which favors Republicans. San Bernardino County which is the largest in the state.
As a registered Republican, in Nov., 2004, I went to my usual place to vote in NJ...the firehouse about two miles away. They said I must have been at the wrong place. I wasn’t in their books.
I told them I’ve been voting there for the past 20 years!
They sent me to the County Clerk...about five or six miles from there.
The clerk said to go back ...that I was correct, but now I would have to vote by provisional ballot....a paper ballot.
At the firehouse, the poll worker set up a cardboard screen on a table for my privacy.
I placed my X next to George W. then folded the ballot. On the outside, it said, “If this is a primary election, you must indicate if you are voting Republican or Democrat.”
I left it blank and handed to the poll worker. In a loud, rude voice she said I would have to mark how I was voting on the outside of the ballot.
I explained to her that since it was a general election, I should NOT mark it.
She said, “THIS IS A PRIMARY ELECTION!”
We went round and round about four times. She kept insisting it was a primary. I kept telling her it was a general election!
She told me she was in charge there and that she’ll rip it up if I didn’t mark the outside. Reluctantly I did, but went home and called the State Board of Elections. The lady I talked with was appalled.
She said, “We train them, we pay them, and this happens?”
Then she confirmed what I had assumed...my vote didn’t count.
Still, if local judges were just blowing people off unless the intended voter insisted on a provisional ballot, the judges were either poorly trained, incompetent, or in on it.
In fact, I heard on "talk radio" that if you are Independent you could not vote Republican...stupid me, I believed that to be true. A friend of mine, also a Registered Republican went to vote, they did not have her listed and handed her a ballot (of course, no Republicans on this one) and when asked for a Rep. ballot they had a hard time finding one.
shhhhh....I'm still in denial.
What happened to the secret ballot?
Oh and LOL at the cardboard. Kinky
I don't think the SD registrar';s office is controlled by rep or dems for that matter. That's why I asked people earlier how this deed was done in concert and whether it would give McCain and advantage. Then people argued that it was the dems trying to sway rep to come over.
Also, good to check the address.
I live in San Diego and a reg. Republican.
Some of the folks who were turned away perhaps didn’t get the memo that has been known, NPs don’t vote in party primaries.
Those who wanted to vote should have taken a few seconds and re registered to a party to vote in the primary.
For the record, I don't recall any dem in our precinct complaining. While we had 15-20 repubs with problems.
Keep us informed.
