CA Governor's Race: So You Want to Steal an Election?

[Lizavetta]

Measure 52 on next month's ballot would, if passed, allow for SAME DAY REGISTERING AND VOTING ON ELECTION DAY.

[mvpel]

The bait on measure 52 is a photo-id requirement.

[JennysCool]

LOL! No problem! Just joining the ranks of folks lobbying JohnRob for the much-needed FR Spellchecker!

[Gophack]

I have always opposed Internet voting, and I always will. Unless there is a physical ballot for comparison if something goes wrong, or looks wrong, then I will never support it.

Good article, thanks.

Will there be a photo id requirement on 52? Last night I was reading the voter's guide and it indicated that a photo id would not be required. It also said that voter fraud would be a felony, but that the prop also makes it nearly impossible to prove fraud.

[Half Vast Conspiracy]

I just found it. No photo ID required. Here are the options:

For purposes of this section, proof of current residence for a voter attempting to vote at the polling place at which he or she is entitled to vote based on his or her current residence address shall consist of:

(1) A current, valid California driver’s license or California identification card that includes the name and current residence address of the voter; or

(2) Any two documents from the categories listed below, except that no more than one document per category listed in subparagraphs (L) and (M) shall be used, both of which shall contain the name and current residence address of the voter:

(A) Military identification.

(B) College or university fee card or student identification.

(C) Lease agreement.

(D) Mortgage statement.

(E) Property tax statement.

(F) Income tax return.

(G) Utility bill.

(H) Credit card bill.

(I) Bank statement.

(J) Preprinted check or bank deposit slip.

(K) Vehicle registration.

(L) Mail addressed to the voter at his or her current residence address.

(M) Sworn written statement given in the presence of a poll worker at the polling place from a registered voter in the precinct stating that he or she knows and can identify the person who is attempting to vote, and attesting to the name and residence address of the person attempting to vote.

The RATS do find every form of fraud here in California possible, now a new way to win makes it's way across the state. I have tried to lobby the assembly to make it a law to require ID at the polls, and get the same reaction, "unfair to minorites!" How can it be if they are here legally and have the right to vote? It can't, so that pretty much says it all.
The RATs here have made it fool proof for their party to win elections, and as long as they are in power, there is not a thing we can do! And because they are in power and make election rules, we can't get them out of power! Catch 22!

[jetson]

Perhaps we need freepers at the poll booths with signs asking " Are You REALLY a legal voter" just to bug the creeps.

THE TYPICAL DEMOCRATIC FEELINGS ABOUT REPUBLICANS MESSING WITH THE VOTING LAWS!

Democratic Voter Fraud - The only way to get it changed is to remove the Demorats from office.

VOTE FOR REPUBLICANS

At least we would have a different set of lies to listen to from the politicians.

[mvpel]

You would likely get charged with "voter intimidation" and face a hefty fine and a few months in state prison.

[mvpel]

Ah, I missed the "or" at the end of subparagraph (1).

[Saundra Duffy]

Gee, thanks. I wonder if I'll be able to sleep tonight.

[Saundra Duffy]

This is some scary sh-t! I think we should pray for fairness. Only God can help us now. GO, SIMON!!! For victory & freedom!!!

or how about the ability to self edit your own posts.

[longtermmemmory]

how about:

"MIGRA says illegal voters are DEPORTED"

"Only LEGAL CITIZENS can VOTE"
