RE your comment about poll workers. It took me about an hour to convince our supervisor that she needed to make the provisional repub option available to those who complained. Her original response was “there’s nothing we could do.”
Now I wonder when was the last time we had someone that was actually elected by the people. I’d bet money that this isn’t a new thing but just a different “phase” of control.
we get this ...?
Yea, you’re right. To hell with vote tampering. Its no big deal...
We have the electoral college and delegetes in the party’s. Have we ever had anyone elected by “the people.” Remember many of the founders weren’t fond of democracy.
In CA the Rep primary is closed to anybody registered other than R. It would be easy to change somebody’s resgistration by just sending in a new reg form making them a Decline-to-State or Ind.
The big problem, if you’re trying to play dirty tricks, is identifying which Reps to change. If you do it randomly the percentages for each candidate should stay about the same. If you’re working in favor of candidate “A”, how do you figure out who’s going to vote for candidate “B”?
not to mention the illegal alien voters.
Even IF this is 100% true and 20% of the vote was surpressed, the lesson is established.
Voter fraud benefits the cheater. A sacraficial lamb is sent to jail and the candidate who won by cheating keeps office.
There is no downside for the candidate who wins by cheating against republicans.
LOL!
Why can't he just do it the old-fashioned way, like Bob Dole did it?
Yup, no big deal, right?
At least that’s what a few on this thread seem to be saying.. they’re certainly entitled to their opinion, but not ablve being called out for it or whether this was an accident, an orchestrated effort or just happenstance.. some folks just don’t care who is in charge, I reckun.. sound like a bunch of EUroweenies to me..
Still, When the process is broken, how can the result be called a success?
No you don’t have it right. We are saying that Republicans had their party affiliation changed from Republican to Non-Partisan without their knowledge, and were therefore unable to vote in the closed Republican Primary.
In other words, someone went into the registrars computers and changed party affiliations, or managed to get hold of voter info and used it to send in falsified registration forms requesting affiliation changes.
FRAUD!
I absolutely believe in the electoral college. It works. But we have states trying to get rid of it. And voter suppression is NOT a good thing. Ever.
This happened to many people in my town in Northern California.
That's the way it should be, so you avoid having the "MoreOn.Org" crowd pick your GOP candidates for you.
Your arguing points I never made. I’m just responding to your point that “the people” elect the candidates.
Thanks. I got it eventually.
