California Assemblymember Richard Pan (D-Sacramento) has introduced AB 1038. It says, “A person shall not offer to pay or pay money or other valuable consideration to another person, either directly or indirectly, to assist another person to register to vote under a certain political party by receiving the completed affidavit of registration. Any person who violates this section is guilty of a misdemeanor.”
Assemblymember Pan had a similar bill in 2012, AB 2058, but Governor Jerry Brown vetoed it.
The bill is discriminatory, because while it would make it illegal for a qualified party to pay someone for each registration into that party, it would not be illegal for an unqualified party to do the same thing. California election law defines “party” to mean a qualified party. The bill has a hearing in the Assembly Elections Committee on Tuesday, April 9, at 1:30 p.m.
This bill is like a disease that keeps coming back.
This is just another part of the conspiracy to end free elections in America, to eliminate choice in elections, culminating in a one-party state as in the old USSR. In the US scheme, that single party is called the “Top-two” party instead of the Communist party, but the intent is the same.
Looks to me as though the Democrats are still terrified that the Peace & Freedom Party will continue to steal “THEIR voters” irregardless of the un-American Top-2 jungle primary scam in place in California, should their present on-going registration drive succeeds in keeping them ballot-qualified after the 2014 general election.
