CA will be detroit (to the extent that it isn’t already) in 5 years.
Great news! How do I register to vote in California? I’m a resident of Illinois. /s
I think that, similar to other state online voter registration systems, you will need a California driver’s license or a California state identification card in order to register.
The line for massive vote fraud forms to the left.
In a way, I think this system is better than we have now.
Because one election cycle, I voted a straight Republican ticket, then during the next election cycle, I was “magically” purged from the registration rolls, even though I hadn’t moved or had done anything to give the government reason to purge my registration. I voted provisionally and had to fight to make it count, even though it didn’t make a difference in the election.
With electronic registration, I can at least make sure I am always registered without going through a government bureaucrat who can chuck my registration card in the bin.
...ok thats good , the ICE agents when they will be able to do their job next year, will be able to track down suspicious names and addresses.....don't worry Paco, it's ok, they only want you to write and let them know where you are....*smiles*
I don’t want it to be hard to register or vote, but some states, including California, go too far to make it too easy.
I remember Jeff Greenfield, a now-retired, quite liberal commentator for ABC News, speaking on-air against California’s (or some other state’s) “Motor Voter” law, whereby someone getting a driver’s license or renewal was AUTOMATICALLY registered to vote unless s/he opted out manually. Greenfield’s point was that it’s already very easy to register, in that anyone can get a postage-paid form for free either at a post office, library, government building or even by mail (by calling a toll-free number). Isn’t that already easy enough?, he asked. Do we really WANT the marginal, added votes of folks who, in this easy-register system, STILL aren’t registered? How motivated could such folks be, to make good voting decisions? And agree.
This latest step just makes it worse, of course.
What next? Mandatory voting, like in Australia? (A step that resulted in a still center-right nation routinely electing left-Labour governments.)
Ah....the Californian RATS finally get their wish.....illegals can now vote online.
HORRORS!! How cumbersome is that? Clearly an attempt to prevent minorities from voting because 1) they have to know how to use a printer, 2) they have to know how to sign their name, 3) they have to know how to put a sheet of paper in an envelope and seal same, 4) they have to know how to affix a stamp, and 5) they have to know how to find a mailbox and drop in a letter.
Yep, no doubt about it -- minority disenfranchisement!
