California Republicans told they already voted due to something 'wonky' with computers, KTLA reports
2021-09-14
So the Republicans have already voted in the system. But, hey, you can have a provisional ballot, which, if approved by your Dem-controlled local authorities, can be accepted, but since your ballot's already in, it's just negating this one, so it's like you never voted either way. Really slick.
[BIZPACREVIEW]Reports of voting issues are coming out of Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, in advance of Tuesday’s special recall election when the fate of embattled Governor Gavin can't be Bee'd Newsom
...the Mitt Romneyesque mayor of San Francisco as it transformed itself into Poopville, currently governor of California as it transforms itself into Cinderland...
will be decided, leading to confusion and suspicion among some voters.

According to a local news report, residents who went to cast their votes at a Woodland Hills high school were shocked when they were told that they had already voted according to computers.

The problems occurred at an early voting site at El Camino Real Charter High School where several people were informed by staffers that they wouldn’t be able to cast their ballots and were given provisional ballots instead.

Those who were turned away appear to have one thing in common — they are Republicans.

KTLA reports that something "wonky" may be going on in the San Fernando Valley.

Estelle Bender, an 88-year-old West Hills resident told a news hound, "I got there at 10:30, gave her this and she scanned it, and said you voted."

"I said, no I haven’t, and she said this has been happening all morning. The man next to me was arguing the same thing," she said.

She added, "So as I left — I did the provisional ballot — I was really angry, and I saw two women walking toward me as I left and I said don’t be surprised if they tell you you’ve already voted, and she said, they’ve already done that."

When asked by the news hound who she voted for, Bender responded, "well I asked the couple, the young women who I talked to and I said, are you by any chance Republicans?"

"She said yes, and I said so am I, and so are the two friends who had the problem at VFW," she said.

Some Twitter users smelled a rat.

The Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder responded: "The voters who experienced this issue were offered and provided a provisional ballot — the failsafe option to ensure no one is turned away from voting. Provisional ballots are regular ballots and once the eligibility of the voter is verified, they are processed and counted. After troubleshooting the issue, the equipment at the locations was replaced and voting continued."

Republicans have good reason to be skeptical following the controversy over the 2020 presidential election, one that former President Donald J. Trump continues to contend was rigged, and if there are more voting problems in California, public faith in fair elections will almost certainly be adversely affected.

Governor Newsom is pulling out all the stops as he fights for his political life in an election that is too close to call and will be bringing in President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S., father of Hunter. He blames Trump for losing Afghanistan....
hoping that he will be able to close the deal with the party faithful.

#16  Should Larry Elders win, he would possibly be a position to appoint a replacement Senator should Feinstein retire or kick the bucket. Dems are going all out to stop Elders. Doesn't appear that Newsom has done much to address California's problems.

#15  One thing is certain: He was on the easy ride to Senator/possible POTUS. No more

#14  The Dems wouldn't have trotted out their "superstars" if they weren't absolutely sure the steal was gonna work.

And Team Joe Kamela is probably looking for anything resembling a win.

Imagine the polling if they are trying to ride Newsom's coattails.

#9  The word "wonky" doesn't seem to apply here.

wonky: preoccupied with arcane details or procedures in a specialized field

No, that's not quite right. Of course it's just like Democrats to mangle the language. But I'd like to suggest a more appropriate term.

hinky:

1. slang : NERVOUS, JITTERY
2. slang : SUSPICIOUS

#7  My wife and I just went to vote at 6543 Corbin Ave Woodland Hills Ca 91467. Our names showed that someone has already voted for us. On top of that they said that about 70% of the voters who showed up experienced the same thing.

#6  Any guess who they already voted for?

The problem wasn't that these people 'already voted'. But that they were informed that they had. I suspect elsewhere the 'second vote' would be simply ignored. It's not like they have a chain of custody or anything.

#5  the mail in ballots were sent to voters in June

it is possible that Bender, age 88, voted by mail and forgot that she had done it

also possible that someone intercepted the mail in ballot and voted for her

I'm not sure if CA requires a drivers license or similar ID with the mail in ballot
