Conservative activists pressure election officials to drop people from voting rolls, claiming it invites massive ballot fraud in California

The myth of undocumented immigrants traveling from poll to poll to illegally vote goes back more than three decades in California and has spread nationwide.

California permits citizens to observe nearly every part of the voting process. Many organizations in the state train volunteers to help ensure that voters get access. But Election Integrity Project’s volunteers are schooled in ensuring poll workers and voters follow the letter of the law, as they understand it.The organization says it has trained 13,000 poll watchers over the past decade and received only five complaints from registrars.

They told The Times most volunteers appeared well-meaning but distrustful, and focused on trivialities they often take to confirm their suspicions of fraud.

In her email to The Times, Paine said the observer’s actions violated her organization’s policies and training, and the observer was dismissed. In the rare instances where a volunteer violates the group’s policies, “we take immediate steps to rectify the situation as we did here.

Meanwhile, Election Integrity Project’s reports show it began forwarding its poll observer reports to the conservative Landmark Legal Foundation, an anti-immigration group that had announced a focus on hunting for noncitizen voters in California and sought to enlist the support of Trump’s Department of Justice.

I say, watch what happens to the people who didn't get the vaccination. Going to be bad. The whiners got their way. And here he did a great job during the pandemic and we have a, what, $75B surplus. But republicans want a recall. 🙄 What a tragic waste of money to feed the delusional discontent over a legal election.
