Dem’s appalling history of ‘rigging’ elections revealed – as party mobilizes to kill off voter ID

Outrage over a last-minute move by California’s attorney general to edit the description of a voter ID ballot measure marks the latest in a series of alterations to the language of proposed laws that critics argue are meant to rig elections.

Wile the state lets citizens propose laws that can be put to voters for approval, the state attorney general is responsible for issuing a title and summarized description to help voters understand the proposed measure.

Because the attorney general is an elected, partisan official — currently held by Democrat Rob Bonta — it had led accusations that attorneys general rewrite descriptions to confuse voters and benefit their party.

On Tuesday, Bonta changed the description of the proposed voter ID law, Proposition 39, which would require voters to provide government ID at the polls or the last four digits of a ID number if voting by mail.

The measure is now described as something that “prohibits citizens from voting unless they present government-issued identification,” after originally saying it “establishes additional voter identification and citizenship verification requirements.”

Other past examples highlight changes initiated by former California attorney general and now gubernatorial front-runner Xavier Becerra, who was sued a record six times over language revisions.

Prop 22 (2020) Gig Workers Proposition 22 was a ballot initiative that classified workers of app-based companies such as Uber and Lyft as independent contractors instead of full-time employees with benefits.

It was described by Becerra as a measure that “exempts app-based transportation and delivery companies from providing employee benefits.”

"The original title was “changes employment classification rules for app-based transportation and delivery drivers.”

"Proposition supporters blasted that language as aligning with arguments from opposing labor groups, traditional allies of Democrats."

Schools used to teach about the traditional political corruption of the Democratic Party, it was always corrupt, at least since immigration took off in the 1840s and 1850s and big city corruption and patronage became normal, along with socialism, and unions, and big government thinking, it was part of the new Americans that swarmed us from the other parts of Europe.

When I moved to IL both R and D were 50% corrupt, 50% non-corrupt. For a short time the goo-goo Democrats and Republicans united around R Ogilvie ... and then D Walker when Ogilvie went to the dark side to get support for his income tax.

But gradually the goo-goo Democrats sold out for 30 pieces of silver til no good government Democrats were left. R Sen Peter Fitzgerald was the last person to benefit from good government beating corruption in 1998.

I fled to GA where the corruption is less, but still exists. Now most of the corruption is in the bi-partisan SWAMP.

The lying is a time-honored tradition with CA dems; Jerry Brown as gov, was challenged after revealing that his “millionaire tax” extended down to those earning $250k annually by saying that in four years they would earn one million dollars.

My father-in-law was paid $1 to pull the Dem lever in Chicago right outside the voting booth. He took the dollar and pulled the GOP lever. Party lost, but at least he got a dollar.

I don’t think this title change will be very dramatic. “Government ID” is what people think of when they think of ID anyway. Not your ATM card or gym membership card.

What I’d prefer is a bill to wipe the voter rolls and force 100% re-registration, with ID.
