ATTENTION CALIFORNIA VOTERS: Plans for suppressing California voters are in the works already.

If you are one of the hundreds of thousands of voters who registered as "No Party Preference" (NPP) in order to be able to vote in the Democratic primary on June 7th, you need to watch this video:

A newly-trained California poll worker speaks out about her experience at her training session. She states that she and all other trainees were explicitly told to give provisional ballots to anyone registered NPP on election day. As we have seen in many other cases (Arizona, New York, etc.) provisional ballots can be thrown out. I repeat, there is no assurance provisional ballots will be counted.

This brave citizen followed up with her county registrar following her training to make sure the instruction she was receiving was accurate. It turns out she and all other poll worker trainees were being lied to. According to the county registrars office, NPP voters must fill out a "Democratic Cross-Over Ballot" in order for their votes to count, not a provisional ballot. It's uncertain how widespread this attempt at disenfranchisement is, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

Please share this with any California voters you may know.
