*** California Voters (NPP) BEWARE...Dirty Tricks Alert***

Poll workers being trained to do the WRONG think so that NPP voters votes won't count.

NPP voters MUST ask for a Democrat Cross-over Ballot not a provisional ballot as poll workers are being trained to provide.

https://video.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t42.1790-2/13266210_1551971141764836_464393482_n.mp4?efg=eyJ2ZW5jb2RlX3RhZyI6InN2ZV9zZCJ9&oh=9ca5f3daa24f03692254baa54d386c08&oe=573DFDA6

The above link is now dead. I have saved the video.
It is a poll worker talking about her training in which she is told to give NPP voters a provisional ballot. But they are actually supposed to be given a Democrat Cross-over ballot.

with signs informing people of the requirement as they enter.


"you must ask for a Democratic cross over ballot if not a registered Democrat and voting for Bernie Sanders"



And no, I would not dream of recommending they do this any nearer than 150ft from the entrance.

Just my simple opinion but I've seen too much over the years. Don't believe much any more. My decisions are my own but when I read things like this, my blood boils and my confidence hits another low.
What the heck kind of a country do we have now? What confidence can we have in a fair process? I have none.
Phooey!

In the 2014 primary it was 70%...should be higher by now.

I certainly think things should be done correctly, but don't think that the Bernie folks can blame this issue when they lose.
