2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Protip: Citing Russia Today does not help your case [View all]ButterflyBlood
(12,644 posts)25. Any links for your accusations?
Because leaving any ballots uncounted is illegal and anyone could file a suit to force them to be. But I've never heard of any accusations that this occurs in California, especially since state law also requires all ballots to be counted. It has nothing to do with activists, it's simply the law and the way things occur.
Also interesting that you would believe that Prop 8 was rigged in favor when virtually every prominent official in the state advocated against it and it was a proven economic drag on the state. It was indeed a horrible result, but there is no motivation for anyone in California in control to try to rig against it, yes Arnold Schwarzeneggar was Governor at the time, but even he was endorsing a no vote.

Dunno what that has to do with the post. Didn't mention the NY Times once.

Anyone who's been here longer than 5 years should be considered a 'pro', perhaps?

At no point did any official in California state the ballots would not be counted.

"Activists" had nothing to do with it and "flipping" counties means nothing.
