This is to all the ignorant people out there, pretending that California is cheating in this election. Here’s a reminder that last year a republican was arrested for registering her dog to vote in Orange County, California. Do you know how they caught her? They checked IDs.
Republicans are lying and they are actually the ones who seem to commit fraud more than Democrats.
Reminder: Last year, a woman in Orange County, CA was charged w/ felonies after she successfully registered her dog to vote in CA and casted multiple mail in ballots in the dog's name in CA elections. She was only caught because she turned herself in and her attorney said she wanted to "make a point". The dog's vote was successfully counted in the 2021 recall election of Governor Newsom, but the dog's ballot in the 2022 primary was rejected. Why the difference?
According to the OC DA's office: "Proof of residence or identification is not required for citizens to register to vote in state elections nor is it required to cast a ballot in state elections. However, proof of residence and registration is required for first- time voters to vote in a federal election. As a result, the 2022 primary ballot cast in [the dog's] name was challenged and rejected."
The woman, Laura Lee Yourex, has pleaded guilty and is awaiting sentencing. She has no prior criminal history.
Prior to her arrest, she mockingly posted on social media that her dog, Maya Jean, had voted, and had continued receiving mail in ballots, posting photos of Maya Jean with her ballots.
