scroll down to read about lawsuit in above link.

Excerpt:

"SAN FRANCISCO, Friday, May 20, 2016:
Civil rights attorneys and voter rights activists are filing a civil lawsuit in Federal Court over election materials sent out in advance of the California Primary. Critical omissions of instructions from county applications to vote by mail have violated state election laws, according to the plaintiffs.

Civil rights attorneys Bill Simpich and Stephen R. Jaffe have filed the suit on behalf of both left-leaning supporters of Bernie Sanders and the right-leaning American Independent Party. “These omissions will likely discourage thousands of California voters,” says Simpich. “Independent voters who have stated ‘No Party Preference’ (NPP) may not be able to vote in the June 7th Primary because of the confusion over how to obtain a party-based Presidential primary ballots. Those ballots are not automatically mailed with their nonpartisan ballot. They must be requested by the voters. That has not been made clear in the instructions sent.”

Excerpt:

"Allegations in the lawsuit include the violation of Elections Code Section 3006(c) which mandates that all NPP voters have the right to apply for a Presidential party ballot for the Democratic, American Independent Party, or Libertarian parties.

Also alleged is the violation of Elections Code Section 3006(b)(3) which requires that voters be informed of the right to personally deliver their application for a vote-by-mail ballot directly to the county elections office by May 31 - not merely mail it. “These instructions are also missing from some of the applications to vote by mail,” says Simpich. “The polls have been open since May 9. Voters have the right to come to the polling place up to the final day of elections on June 7 and ask for the ballot of their choice. We intend to make sure they know that this is their right.”

Further, defendants Tim Depuis and John Arntz, chiefs of the Alameda County Registrar of Voters and the San Francisco Department of Elections, distributed to voters an electronic application to vote by mail that does not contain the mandatory notice, as seen on Depuis’ Oakland website and Artnz’s San Francisco website."

In this OP is two links. One to a video telling you the real truth of what to do when receiving wrong info and when voting your rights. The second link talks about lawsuit!

2. More Information:

"THE LAWSUIT WAS FILED:
A number of County Registrars across California mailed Vote-By-Mail Ballot Applications that were NOT in compliance with California law 3006. One of the many ways in which these postcards (see below) were not compliant with the law is that they listed the wrong date for the deadline to return the forms. Many people received the postcards after the incorrect date and were inaccurately lead to believe that the deadline had passed, so they did not request a "crossover" ballot.
​
Because of the registrar's mistakes, many No Party Preference voters may have already received non-partisan ballots that contained no information whatsoever regarding their right to request a "crossover" ballot until May 31, 2016. If those NPP voters "wrote-in" a presidential candidate on a non-partisan ballot, the registrar's office will probably invalidate their ballot and not count their vote - That is voter suppression due to misinformation.

​
​
HERE IS WHAT YOU SHOULD DO:

​BEST CHOICE:
VOTE IN PERSON A.S.A.P.
​AT YOUR COUNTY REGISTRAR'S OFFICE
​CLICK BELOW FOR DETAILS
http://VoteEarly.BernieSandersVideo.com

​OR:
The date by which NPP mail-in voters may request a "crossover" mail-in ballot is May 31, 2016. You can exchange your NPP ballot ​for a democratic ballot at the polls on election date. Download the Official Secretary of State Form and mail or deliver it to your county registrar before May 31, 2016. If you deliver it, you may as well just vote while you are there (see above).

REQUEST DEMOCRATIC MAIL-IN BALLOT
http://elections.cdn.sos.ca.gov/vote-by-mail/pdf/vote-by-mail-application.pdf

​OR:
If you are a registered as a mail-in voter, bring your non-partisan ballot to a polling location on June 7, 2016. You should be permitted to exchange it for a Democratic ballot. DO NOT SETTLE FOR A PROVISIONAL BALLOT unless you do not have the ballot that you received in the mail. Surrender your Non Partisan ballot and DEMAND a Democratic Ballot.

​OR:
If you are not a mail-in voter, check your registration status and take a screen shot and store it on your phone or print out a copy of your status to take with you when you go to the polls on June 7, 2016." (from OP link)

7. Do not forget there are spaces between them . . . and four if it is at the end of a sentence. . . .

10. I didn't want to overwhelm the man,

and worrying about sentences seemed unnecessary as nothing I could possibly describe as a sentence was presented.

6. I got a solution to this, and guaranteed no party will like it

SOS should be a civil service, not a partisan office, and party rolls should be handled by the parties themselves. You want to do a closed primary, pay for it yourselves. You want the state to do it...everybody can get a partisan ballot.

8. I agree

If my taxes go towards an election, I should be able to vote for whom I want to vote for. Period.

12. Strange bedfellows

"Civil rights attorneys Bill Simpich and Stephen R. Jaffe have filed the suit on behalf of both left-leaning supporters of Bernie Sanders [not the Sanders campaign according to this] and the right-leaning American Independent Party" Of course, anyone may file a lawsuit. My impression reading the above is that they're complaining about some typos in some [sic] applications.

I live in one of the largest counties in California -Santa Clara - and we seem to be able to handle multiple different ballots for all the different Congressional, assembly, and state senate districts, as well as several cities, without much drama. Although there was the one time when I got a ballot with a San Jose-specific issue as a replacement: I just didn't fill in that section since I didn't live there. I wonder if the problems is caused by something similar - there is not just one ballot for Alameda or San Francisco counties, and one of them wasn't proofread well enough. Or it could be part of the Giant Conspiracy.
