More than 203,000 people registered online on Sunday. Another 297,000 registered online on Monday, the last day to do so to participate in the Nov. 8 election.

“What is the point of registering illegals in a state Democrats always win?”

So after Trump wins, California can vote to secede from the union...which might solve a big problem right there.

maybe to run up the vote count to set the stage for HRC to win the nationwide popular vote. The next step would be to fight the concept of the electoral college.

While pot smokers would want to vote to legalize pot, they aren’t very motivated — no, not a stoner joke — because they have their legal pot already. I’ve been to two marijuana doctors myself, and one was a smart, thoughtful guy who took his time to ask me what my condition entailed and what I’ve used and checked me out thoroughly (I don’t take the kind of pot that gets you high, I use cbd oil to cut down the number of migraines in a week. I can’t be high in my life nor do I wish to be), and the other “doc” was a sweaty Jamaican guy on skype on an iPad who screamed at me for a few seconds and signed off instantly. So anyone can get a certificate for pot for a $20-40 appointment already.

So these people rushing in at the last minute to register are not registering for pot. With that said, the regular voters who are voting for Presidnet will pass the marijuana initiative slam dunk.

Massive Fraud right here. Online voting or registration needs to be banned. The democrats have now gone to next level of vote fraud and made it impossible to prosecute.

Aren’t the illegals issued drivers license ? With that perhaps they’re going to vote.

The optimistic side of me, says it’s a positive for Trump.

...

It’s either that, the new registrations are fraud, or the Hillary voters are really enthusiastic. Just look at her rallies compared to Trump’s.

Correct. The electoral number for CA has always stayed the same and never was a Trump state. There’s a reason why Trump almost never came to the state. There could 1 billion votes and not even a factor. The real states that are in play are VA, FL, PA and OH. Trump gets 3 of 4, he wins everything.

So, what difference does that make? Nobody but a radical leftist Democrat gets elected to any statewide vote in California. Most of the illegals are concentrated in a few geographic areas that already have Democrats in the congress and state legislature. Forget about California.

Yeah, I tend to think fraud too..

If it was a swing state I would agree, but I just don't seem any real purpose in the democrats conducting massive voter fraud in California (at least at the presidential level, house/senate may be different). California is so blue, if Trump really was close enough that democrats needed an extra 500,000 votes then the national race is already over and he'll win a 45+ state landslide. But if Hillary is winning CA by 20% as democrats tend too, why take the risk of getting caught to pad that with an extra 1% or 2%? I suppose if the Trump won the electoral college vote, those 500,000 extra votes for Hillary might give her a popular vote victory. But that is at best a moral victory (just ask Al Gore), as the electoral college decides the presidency.

Talk about a waste of money, and energy.

Unless they are voting Trump.

SEIU and LaRaza probably received $5 per registration.

Trump only needs 1,500,000 votes to switch from Rat to Trump and he takes Kalifornica this cycle!
