The Coalinga city council is suing Fresno County to overturn an election decided partly by the sex offenders in a state hospital.

Voters rejected a penny sales tax increase by just 37 votes in November. 127 of those 'no' votes came from inside the walls of Coalinga State Hospital, where some of the state's sex offenders are actually legal voters.

Of course you can’t be sure how the sex offenders voted...but my guess is that they,like most criminals,vote in favor of tax increases.

Well, democrats want to give everyone a voice. And they have. It seems the Democrat Party has taken in every lunatic fringe group, and often those groups oppose each other and have opposite agendas. How do you keep the lunatics from killing each other?

It probably has its own precinct and voting booth. So they know how many votes came from the place - not necessarily which voters just the raw numbers.

John Gillon: But Diggstown is in Olivair County, and any man residing in the county is a Diggstown man.

Gabriel Caine: I'll tell you what. Any man residing inside the county line TODAY... and can prove it, is a Diggstown man.

I'm guessing that you didn't read it the first time, much less re-read it.

The state hospital is its own precinct. Election results are available at the precinct level.

Does anyone believe for a minute that anything would have happened if the offenders in the state hospital had voted in favor of the tax increase?

Appears even sexual predators and criminals aren’t stupid enough to want to pay more taxes.

Isn’t CA the state where they can put you in mental lock-up if a person claiming to be your relative is afraid you might try to kill yourself? How many of THOSE people voted NO?

Boy it hurts to admit this... James Woods and Louis Gosset Jr., right?

Right. But in this particular case, James Woods and Bruce Dern. Gossett was the boxer, "Honey Roy" Palmer.

"Diigstown"; One of the best movies nobody's ever heard of.
