California Cannot Provide an Accurate List of
Who Voted in Nov 2022.
What are the Implications for Nov 2024?
 

 

Nonpartisan watchdog group finds legally required list of voters exceeds official results by more than 22,000 voters and 43,000 votes.

 

Santa Clarita, Calif. – A review of the official list of voters and number of votes cast in the CA November 8, 2022 election reveals 43,624 more votes and over 22,210 more voters than the numbers certified by the CA Secretary of State, calling into question the validity of the certification of the 2022 election.

 

Is this a harbinger of things to come in 2024?

 

On June 28, 2024 Election Integrity Project®California (EIPCa) obtained from the office of the Secretary of State a list of who voted in California’s November 8, 2022 general election. California’s Election Code §2191 provides qualified groups the right to obtain from elections officials a list of each person who voted in previous elections.

 

The list contained each voter’s name, address, birthdate, state Registration ID number, voting method and current registration status (active, inactive, pending, cancelled, etc.) Each Registration ID number in VoteCal is unique, and not duplicated.

 

The list should have been an exact match to the list California certified on December 16, 2022. It was not!

 

Eligible voters in California should be infuriated!

 

EIPCa sent a letter with the findings listed by county and the method of voting to the Secretary of State on September 6, requesting a timely response to several questions, but has not yet received a response.

 

EIPCa analyzed the Secretary’s list and found:

  • The number of statewide November 8, 2022 votes provided in the list is 43,624 more votes than certified by the Secretary.
  • 21,355 voters had two or three votes credited to their respective Registration ID numbers.
  • If these multi-votes are removed, there were still 22,210 more voters listed than number of votes certified.
  • Analyzing the list by county…
    • Only one county (Modoc) matched the certified county-level results.
    • 32 counties had more votes than certified. Los Angeles County had the bulk of the list’s excess votes and multi-voting.
    • 25 counties had fewer votes than the number certified. It is unclear who cast the “missing” certified votes, as the list contains all who voted in the election even if they were subsequently inactivated or cancelled.

 

“Election results produced through any process that bends or breaks the “rules” deny all legal voters their voice.” (In re Coy) 127 U.S. 731 (1888)

 

“EIPCa calls for Secretary of State Weber to perform a full and final reconciliation of the votes counted compared to eligible voters who voted and to develop a ‘who voted’ list as mandated by EC §2191 prior to certification of each future election, starting with the November, 2024 Presidential election.” said EIPCa President Linda Paine.

Vote Safe in 2024 and a Little More

Part 5 – Signature Verification, Duplication and Adjudication

 

Processing vote by mail ballots is a time- and labor-intensive, expensive endeavor.

 

In fact, the entire vote by mail system is wasteful and ill-conceived. Each election California sends conservatively half a million ballots to ineligible individuals, such as those who are deceased, duplicates, too young, or have left the state.

 

Some of these ballots are returned to the sender,

but many “go missing”,

a clear and present danger to election integrity.

 

To make matters worse, California sends volumes of ballots to registered voters who, given the election turn-out rates, do not want them.

 

With approximately 22 million registrants on the rolls (active and inactive), and an average turn out rate of 60% (a generously high estimate), an average of 8, 800,000 ballot packets (paper, ink, postage, carbon footprint for transport) go unused and are therefore wasted, winding up in landfills, each and every election.

 

Each election is a triple punch, hitting the ecology,

the economy and election integrity all at once.

Part 4 - How and Why to Observe Ballot Processing

 

Most voters are surprised to learn that their mail-in ballot is not just opened and counted as soon as it arrives at the Elections Office. In actuality, there can be a several-day delay between the time your ballot arrives and when it is tabulated.

 

Vote by mail ballots pass through many hands and a lengthy and complex series of procedures, any one of which may expose the ballot to potential error or manipulation.

 

If you have never been to the Elections Office in your county,

put it on your “To Do” list.

Part 3 - Drop Boxes

 

Starting October 7, Ballot Drop Boxes become active all over the state.

 

Many voters prefer to use drop boxes as an alternative to the postal service for returning their vote by mail ballot. They suggest convenience and security.

 

But drop boxes also offer temptation for vandalism and voter intimidation. Therefore, they are one of the best opportunities for Citizen Observer oversight because most “official” elections observers pay little attention to them.

 

Adopt one or more drop boxes in your area.

Check the activity around those boxes as often as you can.

Part 2 - The Ballots are Coming…What IF?

 

The ballots are coming! The ballots are coming!!

 

By law ballots must be on their way to you between October 7 and 11.

 

Be sure you are signed up for Ballottrax or whatever alternative ballot tracking system is used by your county so you will know the exact day your ballot is mailed.  (https://california.ballottrax.net/voter/

 

NOTE: the systems are glitchy and may not always work.

 

IF your ballot does not arrive by October 18,
contact your Registrar’s Office IMMEDIATELY.

EIPCa Voter Roll Research
Questions Surround Irregularities in California’s 2020 Election

Nonpartisan watchdog seeks answers on over 2 million documented registration and voting anomalies.


Santa Clarita, California (June 22, 2021)Click here to download copy of press release-- California’s November 3, 2020 election was marred by significant voting and registration irregularities, according to Election Integrity Project® California, Inc. (EIPCa). The non-partisan organization analyzed the state’s official voter list of February 9, 2021 and reported its findings to California’s Secretary of State Shirley Weber on June 17, 2021. This followed EIPCa reports of 2020 cross-state voting on April 30 and May 18, 2021 that the Secretary has ignored. EIPCa’s June report cites California’s election code that requires officials to provide timely answers to citizens’ questions.

EIPCa seeks answers to the following questions, on behalf of California voters:

  1. Why are there almost 124,000 more votes counted in California’s November 3, 2020 election than voters recorded as voting in that election? And why is most of the discrepancy driven by 116,000 vote-by-mail ballots with no apparent voter identified in VoteCal’s voting histories? Click for a list by county.
  2. Why do more than 7,700 voters have TWO November 3, 2020 votes credited to their voting histories? These are two votes credited to each of 7,700 unique (non-duplicated) registration ID numbers in the state database. This indicates mass double voting, a significant programming error in the state’s registration system, or both.
  3. Why does California have 1.8 million more registered voters than eligible citizens and why did this overage rise 72% in the 2020 election cycle? Click for a list by county.

VoteCal Database Date # Counties with Registrations Exceeding # Eligible Citizens Total Ineligible Registrations
March 2020 11 1,063,957
February 2021 23 1,834,789 (+72% since 3/20)
  1. Why did California’s on-line and DMV registration systems change 33,000 foreign-born voters’ birthplaces of record to “California” or “United States”, potentially masking non-citizens unlawfully registered to vote? Similarly, why were 76,000 birthplaces changed from another U.S. state to California? Click for a chart of birthplace changes.

“Many in the nation are questioning the validity of the 2020 general election in their states”, said EIPCa President Linda Paine. “Mass irregularities in California’s registration and voting numbers continue to erode voter confidence here and we are hopeful Secretary Weber will immediately address our questions.”
