Californians With No Driver’s License Or SSN Can Use A Credit Card Or Gym Membership To Vote
The Federalist ^ | JUNE 25, 2024 | BRIANNA LYMAN

Posted on 06/26/2024 10:45:37 AM PDT by Mr. Mojo

In California, voters with no government ID can still vote so long as they show a gym membership, credit card, utility bill, or other low-security identification.

Individuals wishing to register to vote in California are prompted on the secretary of state’s website to provide their driver’s license identification number and/or the last four digits of their Social Security number. But both sections give applicants the option to select a box indicating they lack that form of identification.

If an applicant checks both boxes, he would later be prompted to provide other identification, the California secretary of state’s office told The Federalist. Upon further inquiry, an office representative said individuals could provide proof of identity by showing items such as a credit card, a utility bill, or their gym membership.

When I called back for additional clarification, the woman told me she had been informed not to speak to the press, and gave me an email address to try.

Implementation of REAL ID has been pushed off until March 2025.

California and other states will continue to play their fraudulent election games until REAL ID is fully implemented.

And that is why it has taken more than 20 years to put REAL ID into effect in all 50 states.

“””Now that might apply to state of California elections, but as I understand it would not apply to federal elections. So the question is is how do they make sure only qualified people vote in the federal election?”””


In Primary and General Elections the candidates for Federal, State, and Local Offices are all on the same ballot.

So how does it work to prevent a person with no ID from voting for Federal Offices?

“”” Illegal aliens are offered a drivers license upon “entry”. At same time they are “encouraged” to register to vote. Wanna bet which political party?”””


I am thinking the illegals are being encouraged to register as Republicans. What better way to fly under the radar as our Republican National Committee brags about how many new Republican voters have registered!!!!!

In Hillsborough County, FL any ID or no ID is acceptable, because we have “provisional ballots” that are available to anyone on request. Anyone can fill one out and it will be accepted at the desk for submittal to the elections center for processing. Don’t have ID? Don’t speak English? No problemo.

Correct. In Florida, a “proven” picture id is valid, i.e., a Costco credit card with your picture on the back. They need your signature, too, but that rarely matches with what you used at the time you registered.

I was just reading an article about illegal aliens (”migrants” in the article) at a shelter in Texas, trying to get to Seattle. The one guy didn’t want to take the bus so is waiting for his friend to buy him a plane ticket. (The “friend” has done it for two others previously.)

One - why can’t the friend send bus fare?
Two - I need an enhanced driver’s license to get on a plane - this guy doesn’t need anything?

Why not just let them flash their gang signs? That should be good enough, no?

The only way to stop the illegal vote appears to be deportation.

Why don’t they just allow a green card too. What’s the value of being a citizen anymore? It’s a joke.

I don’t have a gym membership. Do they accept library cards? park passes? used tickets to the roller coaster? I have a losing raffle ticket for a basket of fruit - will that work?

Anyone of these is fine.

The elections have been sketchy for a long time, at least since motor-voter was passed.

That and the fact that TAX-Payers are leaving in droves to be replaced by Tax-Consumers.

This state is on the brink of disaster.

In the small Canadian province where I live accident fatalities are increasing...

In 2022, the number of motor vehicle fatalities was 1,931; up 6.0% from 2021 (1,821), and was the second highest count in the last 10 year...

Maybe I'm being paranoid, but it seems to me that part of the 'welcoming' our new immigrants receive while coming into our country, appears to include a motor vehicle license to drive pretty much any vehicle you want without any actual testing... Seriously, if you can't speak the language how the heck are you going to read traffic signs or understand a manual on traffic rules?

California sends 52 Representatives to Congress. 40 Representatives are DEMOCRATS and only 12 Representatives are Republicans.

California heavily influences what comes out of Congress.

I like to say that California has 8 or more US senators.

2 in California
2 in Nevada
2 in Colorado
2 in Arizona

You could make an argument for other surrounding states, too.

Even if they CAN read English, we already know that they don’t care about following rules or the law. They are ILLEGALS! Rules don’t apply to them. And we LET them get away with it. Heck - even encourage it with tax payer money.

The most common gym card used is probably from the Caracas (Venezuela) YMCA.

And we’ve heard illegals crossing the border saying they’d vote for Biden, when they are able. Gym man membership means they’re able. California Democrats are worried.

>>membership, credit card, utility bill, or other low-security identification...<<

Why not just require applicants to breath on a mirror. If the mirror fogs up you are good to go, if not you can get a provisional ballot.
