Reports are rolling into talk radio stations in San Diego about massive Republican vote suppression.
Thousands of Republican voters in San Diego and as far north as Los Angeles showed up to vote on Tuesday only to be told that they were registered "Non-Partisan". This meant that they could not vote for the Republican Primary candidates.
Non-Partisan (independent) voters in California can vote for Candidates in any other party, including the Democrat party, but are prohibited from voting in the Republican Primary unless they are registered as a Republican.
Rick Roberts [http://www.760kfmb.com] is currently reporting on this and has had hundreds of calls and thousands of e-mails from people who showed up to vote only to be told they were not registered as Republcans. Reports began rolling into the Roger Hedgecock show yesterday.
Several people have called in saying they witnessed this happening at polling place they worked at as volunteers. One gentleman stated that he believed at least 20% of the Republicans that showed up to vote were denied a Republican primary form because the roster showed them as "Non-Partisan".
The Republican Party in California has begun investigating this issue, but the mainstream media continues to report that Californias election "went smoothly".
It seems clear that someone or some group managed to tamper with the voter registration rolls. Either by direct access to the Registrars computer system, or by gaining access to voter information and then sending in registration cards in their name.
Southern California was projected to go heavily in favor in Mitt Romny.
Lets not start sounding libs stating “XXX” stole the election. If your pissed MCcain or Hillary won CA - get over it.. nothing is going to change that fact. There would have been 100,000 people for anything to change either way. If there is fraud, investigate it... however it had little to no impact on the results.
In FL and SC and NH, McCain ONLY won by getting cross-over democrats and “independents” to vote FOR him. (Against Romney, essentially.) South FL heavily liberal old white women voted for McCain in FL - otherwise, Romney won the rest of the state.
The CA repubbies “could” have been trying to AVOID democrat pollution in their primary by allowing only registered republicans. Or a McCain “leader” in the party could have predicted just this kind of elimination of Romney voters and prohibited them using this tactic.
We don’t know. yet.
Didn’t read the article, did you?

True. They could have, if they had been informed of that fact at the polling places. Most were not. A few who knew demanded a provisional ballot.

Thanks. I had completely missed that. Timing is everything, huh?
Perhaps, Romney supporters should ask Al Sharpton for help. Rev. Al is concerned about voting rights.
Since Romny was heavily favored in San Diego, McCain was the obvious benefactor. However, I doubt he had anything to do with it. This smells of Democrat shenanigans, since their primary is open.
This happened to a friend in Watertown NY last night. He is registered as an Independent but they would not let him vote for Ron Paul.
Since the repub primary was closed to party members only, these folks were shut out, unless the insisted and then we let them vote provisional, some did that. Provisional means the ballot goes in, but the registrar's office has to confirm that they were really republicans.
Some of them took the democrat or AIP ballot, since those were open to NPs.
I don't think this impacted the repub outcome, but it was suspicious and brings to question, what was going on.
This was my first time at a SD poll and the supervisor was incompetent. I'll be writing a letter this week with multiple suggestions.
LOL! But that's just the DemocRAT ballot!
Ok. So let me get this straight. The CA Republicans decided on a closed primary, but state law overrides that? So Independents could vote in the Republican primary, but they weren’t informed of this? Do I have that right?
On another note, if McCain gets nominated and elected, his choice of Veep will be crucial for the nation because I do not think McCain's cancer will stay quiet long enough for him to make it for four sane years. I notice that the mainstream media crucified Fred over his less dangerous and in remission cancer but they are quiet presently over Mccain's much more dnagerous and deadly cancer which has produced noticeable swelling on the side of his face and cheek. If he gets the nomination, look for the media to amplify attention to this issue. ... That's a big hint for topic, RUSH!
My son-in-law showed up to vote yesterday and was told that he’d already voted via absenttee, which he had not done. They allowed him to re-register and cast a provisional ballot.
I live in North County SD, but I did not run into this myself. Since I voted late late there were only three other people at the polling place I go to. Did not see or hear anything myself.
Yes, I cosign what you say in my post 52.
Were those who previously were identified as “Republican” re-classified as “non-partisan”? If so, that’s outright corruption.

Yes! Exactly.
