• Holes in Ca. Election systems you can drive a truck through

    A search warrant executed at Khan’s home in the fall of 2020 revealed a stash of 41 completed mail ballots that were not Khan’s, and over the next two years Khan registered approximately 70 people to vote at his address, with his contact information,
    some of whom are not US citizens and do not live in the US, and cast ballots for them.

    In addition, Khan re-registered California voters through the state’s online voter registration process who did not live in his district to his address (so they could vote for him), and listed his own phone number, and email address as the contact.
    That way any verification emails or calls would come to him. Through loopholes in the system, those registrations were validated and those ballots were mailed to Khan’s home and either he filled them out and returned them, or pressured the voters he’
    d re-registered to fill it out as he instructed them to, “one for me and one for Biden.” Khan also allegedly forged signatures on his candidate nomination papers to even get on the ballot.

    So how did he get caught? You'd think 70 people registered to the same address would get it done. But it didn't. He was running an illegal gambling club and got busted for that. They found ballots in his house and that didn't even trigger 'em cuz
    harvesting is legal. It wasn't until a citizen called about 70 voters registered to the same address they looked closer.

    The statement from investigators:
    Our investigation uncovered that Councilman Shakir Khan has attempted to undermine, manipulate, and violate one of our most fundamental rights here in our country, and that is the right to free and fair elections.
    “We did notice some issues in the voting process…the way the voting system is structured. We see quite a few flaws.

    “You’re able to register and cast a vote even if you don’t live in the country, as evident of his brother in Pakistan. I think we have some evidence of two or three other people out of the country that voted…

    The online voter registration system, it seems to be an honor system. Anybody can put information in there to register to vote. All you have to do is click the box and say that you’re not lying and then you’ll get an email from the SOS or something
    in the mail saying thank you for registering to vote, and there you are. Once you’re on the voter rolls, anytime an election comes around, guess what? You get mailed a ballot….So we found that a little bit problematic.

    And then there’s an issue with signature verification. So on Khan’s candidacy paperwork we noticed several forgeries on there, and when we compared it to the DMV database they were not accurate. So we’re working with that to find out where the flaw
    is in that particular issue.

    People can re-register to vote in a district they don’t actually live in because you can do it all online. There’s no checks and balances to say yes, this person did move, or anything like that. Again, an honor system.

    And to those who demand unquestioning faith in our electoral system.
    I say.....Fuck you.

    This gets worse as the Sec. of State has attempted to punt any blame for ineligible people being registered to vote and/or voting, San Joaquin County Registrar Olivia Hale noted that when registrations are done through the state’s online system they
    are not processed in the same way.

    These were online registrations done with the online registration process through the Secretary of State. They came through as online registrations, so they’re put into a state database called VoteCal, and then brought down to our system, and then the
    verification process is simply verifying that there’s a driver’s license and a four-digit social security number, and if those are present then they’re able to move from the pending status into active status.

    These processes are defined and controlled by the Sec. of State.

    Already illegal.

    Illegal and undetectable under current Ca. registration systems.

    While you profess that voting machines must be maintained under a "chain of custody"
    you wholly accept a voter registration and mail-in ballot system that is totally honor based.
    You have no honor.

    The multiple addresses, email, phone numbers, etc should have raised a
    flag at the registration level.

    If that were so, there'd be no mechanism for checking voter info like
    that above.

    A step too far. If anything, it's too much honor.
