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.
Just in time for Rush...thanks for the post!
later ping
Yea, because LA is a bastian of conservatism....
Hmmm...Sinister Juan McCranky, strikes again...
Go to ricks website which i included in the post and you can listen to the streaming audio of his show. Hes on for another hour.
Orange County is heavily Repbulican.
Untrue. They could contest the finding and vote with a provisional ballot. Election laws clearly state this is permissible. The Republicans should have held their ground and demanded their lawful provisional ballots.
If its true, investigate it, but as certain folks have lost their sanity lately, I’m keeping a skeptical eye on this one.
I’m sure that the FEC will jump right on this...right after they figure out the Florida primary mess.
Rush just mentioned your thread!
Look at a map.. San Diego is not in LA... and is very much Republican.
Would this voter suppression have advantaged or disadvantaged one Republican candidate over the others? Is there enough information to tell based upon pattern or geography of the problem?
Indeed. Rush just mentioned this thread.
Massive conservative depression nationwide......
McCain continues to cheat his way to his general election defeat.
“but the mainstream media continues to report that Californias election “went smoothly.”
It did, from their standpoint.
This is not limited to SoCal, the Bay Area also had a large number of folks who experienced likewise. I suspect it is a statewide “phenomena”.
