California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed legislation into law on Wednesday that will limit the ability of local governments to manually count ballots less than a year after one northern county’s governing board ditched its contract with Dominion Voting Systems and decided to tabulate results by hand.
Set to go into effect immediately, the law deals a blow to Shasta County’s conservative-majority Board of Supervisors, which voted 3-2 in January to cancel its contract with Dominion amid a flurry of unsubstantiated conspiracy theories about the company in the wake of the 2020 election, leaving it without a way to conduct elections for a time.
In response, state legislators introduced and overwhelmingly passed AB 969 in September, which allows hand-counting under narrow circumstances: during regularly scheduled elections in places with under 1,000 registered voters and special elections with fewer than 5,000 voters. It will also block counties from canceling contracts for voting systems in the future without a transition plan and a finalized agreement for a new state-approved system.
So the cheating begins.
Just a continuation. My guess is this will be challenged in the SCOTUS.
Hope so. Something is seriously wrong with this.
I thought scotus wasn't taking these cases
You mean so the cheating continues. . . .
Sadly, so true.
In all probability, it will be overturned. If I recall correctly, the CA constitution cites hand-counting of votes as law.
Not like their state supreme court cares. Washington, Oregon, California and Colorado are occupied states. We only can vote by mail. Every election is rigged out here. The Dem’s don’t bother campaigning out here because they know they have it in the bag. Every GOP member from those states that allowed this to happen is a fucking traitor.
In all probability, it won’t be overturned. Especially before the election. I give it a 10% chance after elections.
Think of this similarly to the 2nd Amendment ruling that SCOTUS provided as guidance in that any 2nd Amendment challenge must follow the intent at the time of the founding fathers. IMHO, I believe this will follow the same course.
Pffft! I'm pretty certain they quit counting votes back in the 1990's.
Yup lol. Whenever people on here bitch about their state government (with the exception of people in New York) I just kinda laugh because they have no idea how fucked it is on the west coast.
Well now it's official.
Seems like this is the way forward. Blockchain voting with NFT IDis a brilliant idea. Unhackable. 👍
Wow! Definitely looking into this. Truly exciting to see how this technology can and will change the world in so many ways.
Thanks for the links! Hopefully, many here will dive into this and give some intelligent feedback.
Hand counting? California doesn't allow ballot serialization. Once a vote is cast there is NO WAY to know whose vote it was. How can a hand count mean ANYTHING? You're just counting their fake ballots they slipped in. You have know way to verify if there are actual voters tied to those ballots. This makes it SO EASY to cheat in CA.
Unsubstantiated is the left’s second favorite word only behind “debunked”. If you’re going to say something is unsubstantiated, explain why, or else don’t make the claim. Ironically, using the word “unsubstantiated”, with no explanation, is in itself an unsubstantiated claim.
“Election reform in dozens of states” meanwhile this is the reform they’re talking about.
So fishy I can smell it here east coast
What a Newscumbag!
