Number Registered to Vote in Los Angeles County Far Exceeds Population of US Citizens

How the Democrats roll. The biggest threat to our republic is the party of treason.

Number Registered to Vote in Los Angeles County Far Exceeds Population of US Citizens

By: Guy Benson, Townhall, January 10, 2018:

A leftover from earlier in the week that I wanted to make sure didn’t get buried amid fast-moving news cycles: The state of California is being forced to purge up to one-and-a-half million voters from its statewide rolls, following a legal settlement that arose from a Judicial Watch lawsuit.  This development follows similar outcomes in Kentucky and Ohio, also spurred by the conservative watchdog group’s legal actions.  The Washington Free Beacon has details:

Story continues below advertisement

Judicial Watch sued the county and state voter-registration agencies, arguing that the California government was not complying with a federal law requiring the removal of inactive registrations that remain after two general elections, or two to four years. Inactive voter registrations, for the most part, occur when voters move to another country or state or pass away but remain on the rolls. The lawsuit alleged that Los Angeles County, with its more than 10 million residents, has more voter registrations than it has citizens old enough to register with a registration rate of 112 percent of its adult citizen population. The entire state of California had a registration rate of 101 percent of age-eligible citizens, the lawsuit said, citing data published by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission.

And via the Sacramento Bee, the state is now actively investigating whether non-citizens participated in recent California elections after they were improperly registered to vote through a Department of Motor Vehicles error (a cynic might put the word “error” in scare quotes):

California officials still can’t say whether non-citizens voted in the June 2018 primary because a confusing government questionnaire about eligibility was created in a way that prevents a direct answer on citizenship. The snag comes from a voter eligibility questionnaire that lumps five separate characteristics, such as age and citizenship status, into one prompt that people see at the Department of Motor Vehicles when they try to get or renew a driver’s license. Investigators can see that people marked themselves as ineligible to vote or declined to answer eligibility questions, but they can’t tell why…[an email] shows that, for months, California officials have been examining whether non-citizens voted last year. On Thursday, Secretary of State Alex Padilla confirmed for the first time that his office has an active internal investigation into the matter.

I’m amplifying this story for two reasons. First, when voter rolls are purged around the country, activists on the Left often allege “voter suppression,” fueling dark, racially-tinged theories about disenfranchisement.  See, for instance, the hyperbole and hysteria in Georgia this past cycle, which disregarded several relevant facts.  While excessive or overly aggressive purges should be guarded against, removing inactive, ineligible or dead voters from the rolls is wholly appropriate and required by law.  It is not nefarious “suppression.”  Just as leftists are in a small minority on the issue of voter ID laws, I expect they’ll also struggle to convince Americans that it’s no big deal that the country’s largest state (a) takes days or weeks to count ballots, and (b) is home to more registered voters than voting-eligible citizens.  It’s also disturbing that a supposedly confusing government questionnaire — no doubt worded to protect illegal immigrants, in alignment with the deeply problematic ‘sanctuary state’ ethos — resulted in non-citizens being signed up as voters, and that said government still isn’t sure how many of them exercised that improper ‘right.’  It’s happened before.  How is any of this acceptable?

Second, regular readers know that I have problems with both parties’ preferred narratives on voter fraud.  Republicans tend to overstate the scope of in-person fraud (certain assertions are particularly ridiculous), while Democrats wrongly cast concerns about various forms of fraud as wicked right-wing suppression schemes, rooted in baseless fever dreams.  They’re not.  The truth is that fraud does exist and reasonable steps must be taken to prevent it.  Experts seem to agree that the area that’s most vulnerable to fraud is absentee or mail-in ballot fraud, as we’ve recently seen in North Carolina.  The quasi-loophole in the system that was apparently exploited in NC-09’s contested House race remains completely legal in a number of states, including…California.  What are the chances Democrat-dominated Sacramento will volunteer to clean up its act, so long as the existing system isn’t interfering with, or is in fact helping to perpetuate, one-party rule?  Slim.  They’ll need to be dragged into it, kicking and screaming.  On that front, score one for Judicial Watch.  I’ll leave you with them taking a victory lap on Twitter:

Thank God for Judicial Watch.

Voter fraud is rampant and now they have ballot harvesting and ranking.
I think it was Maine,where a Republican won BUT voters didn’t rank that GOP candidate as their “first choice” so the DEM got the position. So not only do you have to win but also win the ranking contest. It’s bizarre and designed to throw the will of the voters.

Maine Republican congressman sues over ‘flawed’ ranked-choice voting systems
as ballots are still counted
By Kaitlyn Schallhorn | Fox News
…

Under this system, voters rank candidates on the ballot in order of preference – instead of just choosing one person. If a candidate wins the majority of the vote, then they are declared the winner.

However, if no candidate receives a majority, then votes are counted in rounds with the lowest-ranked candidate eliminated per round until only two remain in a mathematical game of survival. For example, once a candidate is eliminated, the second-choice picks for voters who chose that eliminated candidate will then be counted as the remaining contenders move on to the next round. This process continues until only two candidates remain, with one receiving the majority of the vote – and declared the winner.

It is designed to favor the DEMS.
In Maine the GOP candidate WON outright but the DEM got the seat because of RANKING!

Thanks, Felix, excellent post; none of this is mind-boggling, but it shakes one’s sensibilities to the core. The chance of the survival of this Republic is whittled away day-by-day by the apostate Democrats and those, the DoJ, the FBI, and numerous other factions enabling the nation’s downfall. The voting scam, which in itself beyond the scope of treason, is only one of the myriad acts of subversion enacted by the Democrats and its legion of evildoers, of whom are not entirely Muslim.

Achieving the destruction, the eventual indictment, and prosecution of those partaking in this unbridled lawlessness of the political and civil conspirators is Civil War. One may prefer the ballot over the bullet; nonetheless, the options, legal and political are declining, stolen by the Democrats and its alliances moment-by-moment.

I didn’t notice the “ranking” system until I was actually voting. Feeling it was a scam, I simply voted the straight Republican ticket, and didn’t provide any other “choices” via the “ranking” system. Later I noticed the governor was complaining that the “vote ranking” system was deceptive and unfair. I agree with him even though I do not understand all its ramifications. One thing I am sure of, though, is that it has nothing to do with standard voting method and it should never be accepted by any state or nation.

“….or months, California officials have been examining whether non-citizens voted last year.” Gee, it you don’t need to be a “California official” to see that non-citizens voted in this state. They are the ones who voted in that ‘gruesome’ Newsome jackass as Gov

The whole voting-system is a fraud betraying atheists & other Non-muhammadists & their right to truth.
& as with the Nazis* the unjust Muhammadism wins.
Trump patronizes the censorship by Muhammadists & said Pamela Geller would insult everybody.
Trump is selling weapons to Saudi Arabia, while they censor Twitter worldwide, interfere in education, enslave Africans**, kill atheists, rape & clitodirectomize girls.
Saudi Arabia & Hamas-Cair is censoring social media because the truth & freedom of speech is a threat to them.
Trump doesn’t want the USA to be a threat to Muhammadist tyranny Saudi Arabia so he aids their censorship of Non-muhammadists.
Trump is norming censorship of Non-muhammadists & that’s wrong.
We need a global government that protects the ethical values of truth, justice, love, American English, friendliness, ecology, human rights, global imperialism, freedom from religion & to atheism, healthy food (see DrAxe.com), cultivation of ecological best quality basics, support for self-realisation & the outlawing of incitement to the unjust Muhammad-law & war globally.
*Hitler viewed the unjust Muhammadism as ultimate Nazi religion that as he told his architect & minister of war Albert Speer matches the German temperament better & many Nazi criminals openly converted to the unjust Muhammadism after the war & worked for the Egyptian Muhammadist tyranny under Nasser or in Syria.
Oskar Dirlewanger for example who killed tens of thousands of Jews & others in the Ukraine became the bodyguard of the Muhammadist tyrant Nasser.
**Africans are enslaved in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Yemen, Kuwait, Lebanon, Bahrain, North-Sudan, Libya, Algeria, Mauritania, Niger, Mali, Somalia, Nigeria in emulation of unjust Muhammad who started the global African slave-trade by saying his unproven deity had turned Africans black so Africans’ descendants would be slaves to Arabs & Turks.

“Republicans tend to overstate the scope of in-person fraud (certain assertions are particularly ridiculous)…”

Mr. Benson:
Can you provide more specifics on what you are labeling as overstatements and ridiculous assertions?

If nobody actually measured how many illegals voted and there’s no real way to know then how can anybody know to what degree the voter fraud is? Maybe the conservatives overstate it. But maybe not. Picking a number in the middle doesn’t make it right. And with so many mail in ballots with no accountability about who those belonged to and who actually filled them out, only exacerbate the degree of fraud. But since the Left are the only ones doing it and it’s very difficult to prove let alone that’s only if someone cares enough to enforce, then why not? To the Left, the ends always justifies the means.

I was foolishly hoping that the author of this piece would respond to the question. But I guess he won’t. I think this statement of one of those foolish assertions that says “they are all wrong.”

I have worked at the polls since 2008 and from my personal experience, which may not be reflective of the entire country, there is a lot of voter fraud and it is all perpetrated by Democrats. It is truly and outrage and I found Mr. Benson’s statement to be a reflection of the fact that he has probably never worked at the polls.

I have been talking about the fact that most of California’s congressmen are probably not voted in with Citizen votes. they have rigged the system with fraud and corruption using illegal voters. NON citizens elect all to damned Democrats in California and we are doing nothing to stop the takeover of our country by this treason. This is also happening in South Texas and probably Arizona Florida, etc. These invaders are bringing in the failed junk they left to steal our blood sweat and hard work. INVADERS are the new base of the demoncrat party.

The only way the Democrats can win an election is if it is rigged — normal legal voters would always win, so they put their criminal plans to manipulate the outcome in place.
Obama did not win either the first or the second election — it was all rigged. And Hillary did not win the popular vote in 2016 — Trump had the popular vote. Hillary had a lot of dead people and illegal people and people voting twice voting for her. In every state where identification was required, the Republicans won. Let’s hope we can stop the rigging before 2020.

Progs and libs can never win on their ideas and policies. They have to cheat. They act like the majority when in fact, they are a pitiful minority with no moral compass to stop them from doing anything to further their policies. AOC’s latest green policy wants the entire US fossil fuel free by the year 2030. The cost: $43 trillion. That is the numerical cost. The real cost will be the down fall of our country.

The entire state of California should be barred from voting in Federal elections until this disaster is corrected.
