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.
But they have an ace in the hole ... they're in the process of seriously pissing off the conservative base just as much, suppressing that turnout as well, by manipulating the Republican primary so that McCain wins, McCain being a candidate that the real conservative base of the Republican party hates with a passion second only to their hate for Hillary.
The only shoe left to fall ... how the left will manipulate affairs so as to piss off Huckabee's evangelical base too, suppressing their turnout in November as well.
I don't know if politics was this ugly or not in times past. Perhaps it was, and the dirt just didn't make it into my history books. But Clinton politics fell out of the ugly tree, and hit every branch on the way down.
With the Chinese, Russians, Soros, drug lords and Arabs all willing to spend their finest money to influence American politics and politicians, not to mention the huge American interests willing and able to do so (and in some cases needing to, for survival), it's not entirely surprising. Power corrupts. We're talking some serious power here.
He will be kissing butt for the next nine months in a futile plea for support. Delicious.
I fault Romney on one issue.... in the last debate, he should have taken the gloves off and kicked McCain square in the nuts(figuratively speaking of course). He would have gotten more respect.
He also reminds me of the guy in Braveheart who sold out William Wallace. A real bag-o-shite.
I arrived at the polling place on Kalima St at 7:30am. After waiting in line, while watching an old blind lady unsuccessfully trying to find names on the registration sheet, I got to the table and politely gave my name. Upon giving my name I was told that I was registered as NP. The poll workers adamantly rejected my request to receive a republican ballot and offered me a Democratic one. My request to verify this information was ignored. I rejected the Democratic ballot and drove straight to the registrar’s office.
I had mailed my registration in long before the deadline and registered as a Republican. At the registrar’s office, my information was correct and they gave me a Republican ballot.
I VOTED!!
Thank you, PsyOp. Voter fraud is the worst of all problems in a democracy.
Can they still do it?
I bet Michael Medved won't talk about this on his show.
McCain and the democrats are quite brilliant in their corruption, aren't they?
I worked the polls on election day and the same thing
happened - many Republicans were showing up as Nonpartisan.
As a matter of fact, a couple of Democrats had the same thing
happen.
We allowed them to vote provisional.
I had to laugh when I read this. Did you hear about the 20 or so voters who were informed by poll workers that the funny pens they were given were special pens? They used magic invisible ink that the counting machines would be able to read. They were stylus left over from the electronic voting machines. Workers were puzzled by a stack of ballots with no votes on them and tracked down the story.

My ballot was taken out of the privacy folder and behold the ballot box which is supposed to be in plain view was on the floor under the table, which allowed the worker to view my ballot out of the privacy screen while I would have to bend over to see her putting it in the ballot box. The box has always been out in the open and on a table not under it. I am in a predominantly demorat polling area and everytime they “announce” my party it seems like an insult.
I would think the poll workers should have informed them they could cast a provisional ballot, since the names were not found in the proper party...

Un freaking Believable.
I believe this whole election thing is making me ill. I have had a headache for weeks now. I think it’s time to step away and take a break or I will end up in the nut house.
Of course. At least until the polls close.
A new law went into effect in January (too late for the Primary this year) that requires the county clerk to notify you in writing of any party affiliation changes.
Which made my friend wonder — did they anticipate this was going to be a problem at some time?
...and there are literally millions of illegal alien mexicans voting.
I saw a local abc news story last night that showed the polling places in Cotra Costa county (berkeley) handing out provisional ballots to illegal aliens, they even interviewed this one lady who could not even speak english
