At this point, the only thing that can save California would be a purge of non-citizen voters. Think the Dems will be onboard with that? I commuted in LA County for 20 years......glad I don’t have to deal anymore with the ‘political decisions’ that hamper the hard working taxpayers. I sure do miss our activities there and the beauty of California though.
Did I post about this?
I’m 70. My family has been farming in Ventura since the mid-1800s. I, OTOH, have worked as an institution equities trader around 40 years.
I like LA. A lot. I like driving ... and I like driving sports cars. And I just bought a new house ... probably my last and I’m decorating, putting in wood floors and decorating in general. I wake to the sun ... NO SNOW, NO HUMIDITY for my whole life. I’m up on a hill with few neighbors.
I’m not leaving. There are things I would change, but it’s better than leaving.
• Paper ballots with human readable marks. They may be computer generated, and/or computer counted, but there must be a paper audit trail of each vote.
• Purple fingers (needs something to prevent an absentee voter/early voter from re-voting at the poll, maybe blockchain, also maybe a mugshot showing the voter an the photo ID taken at sign in? H/T for-q-clinton)
• Mandatory free on demand BIOMETRIC (iris scan, nobody ever left their irises at a crime scene!) photo ID, with a database that instantly flags for arrest anyone seeking multiple IDs. Change of name? Simply have your old card voided when you apply for the new one. At each election punch a hole in the ID, like they do in Mexico (H/T spokeshave2)
• No precinct reports their totals until ALL precincts report they have totals. No results are released until all results are in. This prevents the last to report precinct captains from knowing how much to fudge a report to give a win to their preferred candidate while maintaining some slight semblance of credibility.
• Repeal Motor Voter.
• End same-day registration where it exists, and allow ample time between registration and election for vetting of credentials of registrants.
• Instantly deport any non-citizen who registers to vote.
• Put a little ⩍ next to the names of those registered voters with death certificates, and detain and put a 72 hour psychiatric hold anyone claiming to be a dead person...
