Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings and his wife have emerged as two major donors seeking to block a California ballot measure that would establish strict voter ID requirements.
The media boss gave $1 million towards the effort to stop Prop. 39, which would require voters to provide proof of citizenship and personal identification in order to vote — which backers claim is necessary to stamp out voter fraud.
Hastings’ donation came on Sept. 3, according to Secretary of State records, as California Dems rally against Prop. 39.
The Netflix boss’ wife of 35 years, Patty Quillin, gave a cool $1.5 million on Aug. 31.
Fifty-five percent of California voters were opposed the voter ID measure in a just-released Public Policy Institute of California poll, while 43% supported it.
“California politicians are getting special interests to bankroll their dishonest smear campaign against Prop 39, but in the end we are confident voters will vote YES on Prop 39 because it is truly the bipartisan solution for Voter ID to restore trust in our democracy,” said Republican Assemblymember Carl DeMaio in a statement.
Prop. 39 was placed on the ballot in response to concerns about potential weaknesses in the voting system alongside a federal bid for tighter voting requirements by President Donald Trump.
The measure, supported by The Transparency Foundation, the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association and an array of Republican officials, would require voters to show government ID to vote in person. It would also ask those who vote by mail to provide the last four digits of a piece of identification on their ballots in order to verify their eligibility.

Kommies from Kali.
That fat slob is married? Even after his Epstein Island trips? YUCK!
Why do sheeple pay attention to what billionaires want! FOOLS!
You’re thinking of Reid Hoffman — he’s the fat slib with a Chinese wife. This is another far left guy, the son of wealthy “Boston brahmins” according to Wikipedia. Other than that, there’s not a dime’s worth of difference between the two.
Other than House of Cards on someone else’s account Im proud to say Ive never watched or subscribed to Netflix.
Wrong dude.
It’s not just a California thing... I heard a disturbing stat quoted, which, in essence, reportedly shows that 42 percent of voters without college degrees supported Mamdani, compared to 58 percent of college graduates. The “Educated” youth have been programmed to believe that Socialism and government are the solution to what Government, Education and DEI created...
Dang.... I’m sounding like my father did.
I’m guessing his wife is a ‘They’.
Doesn’t matter.
Even if the people of California let their will be known, The Party will find a judge to strike it down.
It happened on Prop 8 and will happy with this one too.
Why are rich people almost always anti-American leftists?
I did a free trial to watch the super bowl, then cancelled it right after the game.
And when these unvetted voters vote to confiscate Hastings’ wealth and property?
Question— does Netflix have any ID requirements for signing up as a customer?
I think they all sold their souls to Satan for success, so they’re obligated to support this kind of nonsense.
I don’t understand why they would try to allow anyone other than US citizens determine how our country should be governed. I suppose follow-the-money still applies here, but I don’t understand it.
The liberals have decided that voter ID laws are bad. They have decided that too many black folks don’t have an ID, or don’t know how to get an ID, and so it’s racist to have voter ID laws.
Because socialism, once enshrined, does not allow the hoi palloi the opportunity to compete for wealth. People like Hastings know that if you get people hooked on meager government handouts, they are less likely to challenge the position and wealth of the elite.
Reed Hastings and his wife WE ARE THE PEOPLE deal with it?.
The Black Folks are too stupid to get an ID is just their smokescreen! There can be NO legitimate reason to not endorse voter ID requirements unless you want there to be massive fraud in the electoral process. Married women can’t get ID with their names and photo on them? Get real crazy libs... they can’t buy beer, wine, get on an airplane, or get OTC Sudafed without the photo ID..... Their opposition shows all you need to know about how much they need to cheat to keep Dems in power. I will always believe the only reason Hillary “LOST” was because the Dems believed the fake polls and didn’t realize how much they needed to cheat especially in Wisconsin. In 2020, they vowed to not make that underestimation again so Demented JOE “got” over 82 million “votes”...Right !!! Sure he did.
Seems these two louts are the new DSA.
