Governor signs bill to prevent party-switching
Many of you remember a while back when folks paid by Republican Party were found to have switched voters’ party affiliation without their consent. This led to re-evaluation of a “bounty” program for voter registrations. Nearly 300 voters in Orange County became Republicans without their knowledge or consent. Yesterday, the Governator signed a AB 452 by Assemblyman Juan Arambula that requires county registrars to more clearly inform voters when their party affiliation is changed. This is a step in the right direction to prevent voter fraud.

This is very good news, Ed. Thanks for posting about it.
The good news is that Correa’s “If you can’t beat them, outlaw them” senate bill was DOA.
I thought it was ” If you can’t beat them, require photo id’s”?
Still waiting to hear a good argument as to why we shouldn’t require a photo id when someone votes. Please enlighten me, or try to.
