And remember the woman who was murdered by the above illegal would NOT have happened if the illegal would have been deported but SF refused to work with ICE because of their sanctuary city laws.
So you tell me. If Democrats wont charge a man for murder and keep him from being deported even when he has a federal gun charge, what makes you think they would give a hoot if they catch an illegal voting?
wiki: The man who fired the gun, José Inez García Zárate, said he had found it moments before, wrapped in cloth beneath a bench on which he was sitting, and that when he picked it up the weapon went off. The shot ricocheted off the concrete deck of the pier and struck the victim, who was about 90 feet away.[1] Steinle died two hours later in a hospital as a result of her injuries.
On November 30, 2017, after five days of deliberations, a jury acquitted García Zárate of all murder and manslaughter charges. He was convicted of being a felon in possession of a firearm, but that conviction was overturned on appeal on August 30, 2019.[2]
García Zárate’s immigration status made the shooting controversial and led to political criticism of San Francisco’s status as a sanctuary city, as García Zárate is an undocumented immigrant residing in the United States who had previously been deported five times. Donald Trump, at the time a presidential candidate, cited García Zárate in support of his proposal to deport criminal “illegal immigrants” living in the United States, and mentioned Steinle during his acceptance speech at the 2016 Republican National Convention.
TLDR: Crazy man picked up a gun, it went off, ricocheted and accidentally killed a tourist. No sane jury would convict a crazy man who had found something wrapped in a cloth- that happened to be a gun. And in fact they didnt. Charging him for possession would be a stupid evil act. Only trump would want that. But this is a total hijack, as well as your other screed about some illegal alien. What does that have to do with voting by mail?
I notice you still have failed to answer my question. OK, before the passages of the 15th and 19th amendments, several new England states and northern cities gave women and free blacks the right to vote in local elections. Was that wrong?
Along with every other voter in Hawaii, I received my ballot in the mail this past week. I sat down and voted yesterday. Will mail it today. Hawaii is very explicit in its instructions. The ballot MUST be there no later than 7pm on Election Day. This state will not count late-arriving ballots. There are ballot drop boxes for those doofuses who do put it to the very last minute.
We have a secret ballot in this country, so I do not have to tell anyone how I voted. Whether it was for that evil, shit-eating, moronic traitor Donald J. Chump or for the potential savior of our country, Joseph Biden, you’ll just have to guess.
“Operating unofficial ballot drop boxes — especially those misrepresented as official drop boxes — is not just misleading to voters, it’s a violation of state law,” Padilla said, and a felony conviction would land perpetrators in prison for two to four years. County elections officials and registrars are solely empowered to set up and maintain drop boxes in accordance with strict state security rules. The California Republican Party did not respond to the Register 's requests for comments, nor did individual GOP operatives who have implicated themselves on social media. …
Slate judiciary staff writer Mark Joseph Stern sees something a little more nefarious than just trying to make it more convenient for Republicans to vote. “California Republicans are allegedly creating fake drop boxes and tricking voters into depositing their ballots in them,” he tweeted. “Apparently they’re trying to prove voter fraud is real by committing actual election fraud.”
I posted a link to the original story from the Orange County Register a bit earlier today in the Stupid Republican thread. It’s just horrendous what Republicans are doing. Thanks for posting your link here – more people will probably see it.
Because would he have been able to kill that woman if San Francisco hadnt been a sanctuary city? I mean the guy had been kicked out but the democrats gave him sanctuary and gave him the right to vote in local elections. Then the man commits murder and democrats let him go scot free.
And you want San Francisco style democrats to run the country?
How would you feel if an illegal had murdered your relative like this and the local government encouraged him to come in illegally, protected him, and then let him off?
My point is will democrats make the whole country “sanctuary” and abolish ICE and protect illegals?
Will democrats push for more voting by illegals?
About those last points:
So what your saying is because some states allowed blacks and women to vote before national amendments, we should be ok with California allowing illegals to vote?
That totally makes sense for congressional seats. The blue wave put a hurting on the old safe Orange county seats and a desperation to claw all or a few of those back is strong motivation. It won’t make a lick of difference in the presidential election, but every little bit helps in Orange and places like LA’s 25th.
Out of curiosity, do you actually think this moronic and unconvincing tangent has anything to do with voting by mail, or are you just knowingly and desperately deflecting from having to answer the topic?
Yes, they are allowing them to vote in San Francisco in local elections and there is no evidence they are not wanting to expand that.
Look how democrats oppose laws requiring any form of ID.
No, I am not avoiding your question. You are saying that because some states allowed women and blacks to vote, California allowing illegals to vote should be ok. Isnt that what your saying?
Could someone post a picture of the back of the California vote-by-mail envelope (not filled out)?
I just dropped my ballot off this weekend, so I can’t post a picture, but I distinctly recall there is a large section on the back of the envelope where the voter has to authorize a specific third party to turn in their ballot. There is a smaller section where the voter signs, dates and adds address information for verification if they mail it or drop it off. I don’t believe a signature in the small section provides authorization for third party turn-in.
I wonder how the Republican party plans to turn these ballots in as a third party without a signature authorizing the person turning them in?
I don’t buy cigs or booze, I don’t travel by commercial airliner, and I’ve had the same job, doctor, and bank for decades. Aside from voting, for what purpose do I need to keep paying for a state photo ID?
