California Vote Fraud Prebuttal Thread

[Bonestorm]

Just an FYI for the conspiracy-minded:

California has issued 5.5 million absentee ballots for today's primary, reaching more than one-third of the 15.7 million total voters registered in the state. As of yesterday, 3 million ballots had already been returned, and state officials expect about 75 percent of the ballots to be returned by the close of polls—that's 4.125 million people who voted without pulling a lever. (These numbers include both Democratic and Republican ballots.) The remaining ballots are expected to be turned in at polling stations today, just like you drop off a movie rental.

For our purposes, it's the 3 million ballots that have already been sent back that may play havoc with expectations tonight. Exit polls, as their name implies, measure only the opinions of residents who go to the polls and submit a ballot. If you don't show up to the voting booth, you're not going to be part of an exit poll.

Of course, the use of absentee ballots could just be one part of the overall conspiracy but citing exit poll data that by its nature eliminates roughly 30% of the people that actually voted isn't proof of fraud.

According to recent conspiracy theories....

Only republicans use mail-in ballots. Therefore we can again blame it on the republicans, no matter what happens.

No there is a great number of Dems who use them to avoid the machines now.

LOL. That wouldn't avoid the machines. They are usually optical scanned ballots.
