Rampant voter fraud in California Assembly

CAPITOL CHAOS / AN ABSENCE OF ACCOUNTABILITY

As the roll call began, Hayashi was engaged in a budget subcommittee meeting on the Capitol's fourth floor. Suddenly, two floors below, the light next to her name on the big electronic voting board in the Assembly chamber turned green, a "yes" vote.
Seconds later, it turned red.
Then green.
Red.
Green.
Finally, after 22 seconds of alternating colors, the space next to Hayashi's name went blank.
While there are conflicting accounts of exactly what caused this dizzying sequence, this much is clear: Two people had their hands on Hayashi's voting switches during the roll call on AB2818 - and one was acting against her will.
"Ghost voting" was not the only disturbing episode as the Assembly took up 316 bills in the three days leading up to the deadline for measures to pass their house of origin. In the frenzied treadmill, there was little or no debate on most matters, important bills died when legislators failed to vote, and votes were being cast for members without their express consent.
In the Hayashi case, eyewitnesses said her initial "yes" vote was cast by Assemblyman Kevin de León, D-Los Angeles, an assistant majority floor leader who colleagues said had taken the liberty of voting for other missing members as bills were being rushed to beat the deadline.
"I don't recall it, but I don't deny it either," de León said of allegations that he voted for Hayashi on AB2818. He added that deadline-day floor sessions can get "chaotic and wacky," with "hundreds and hundreds of bills moving through."
Assemblywoman Loni Hancock, a Berkeley Democrat who knew of Hayashi's concerns with the bill, acknowledged intervening to prevent her colleague from being a potentially decisive vote for passage of a bill she opposed.
"I didn't even know who pushed the green button originally," Hancock said. "I was riveted on the screen, I was doing a million things ...but I saw the green light go on ... and I knew Mary didn't want to be the 41st vote."
The bill ultimately passed with two votes to spare, 43 to 32, with Hayashi among the five nonvoters. Assemblywoman Cathleen Gagliani, D-Stockton, then pulled the key out of her desk mate Hayashi's voting station.
This extraordinary tug-of-war was in brazen defiance of Assembly Rule 104, which states, "A member may not operate the voting switch of any other member."

I'm going to be on the phone like mad tomorrow....welcome to the "free" state. If this is happening here, you can guarantee its happening in your state too.

Wow! I want to know more. I want to know if this is happening anywhere else. This is absurd!

I want to know what the penalty is!!

Now that inspires confidence. Your government is passing so many laws they don't even know what they're really voting on half the time. It's no wonder things are so generally screwed up--whatever happened to just not passing any laws we don't need? (He asked rhetorically)

Surprised this hasn't received more attention...

How do you mean surprised? Like October surprised, Vincent Foster surprised, illegal alien surprised, or are you playing Devils advocate?

We, the American People, are no longer represented and will be railroaded into servitude by 2012. According to MSNBC, Oboma has allready won and the mind altering drugs in my water have forced me to change my mind, give up all my weapons, denounce my country, and vote for the U.N. occupation forces. Now that is Devils advocate. No.... really.

I'm sick of it.... and I see it coming.

This was reported on my other site Calguns.net. De leon is also supposed to have done this ghost voting on the micro stamping bill, which as you know, passed and is due to go into effect in 2010.

I haven't done the research on it, but a few of the members on Calguns are saying this is a felony and yet De leon is getting away with it as are others in the Ca. legislature.

It's not just CA though (I don't think you really believe the problem is limited to CA, but I know how much you love the state).

From what I'm reading it's cropped up in TX, OR, and PA. Probably most states really.

They're politicians, did you really expect them to do the right thing. They're all crooked SOB's.

Unfortunately.... believed to be true.
