New California Registration Data

Posted on by August 9, 2024

On August 9, the California Secretary of State released a new registration tally.  See it here.  This one is especially interesting because it shows the results of the registration drives that have been conducted over the last six months.  When parties try to qualify for the California ballot, they do so by persuading 73,168 individuals to fill out a registration card, joining that party.

No Labels has 40,335 registrants, more than any other unqualified party.  At the last tally, February 20, it had 42,039.  It is not surprising that it declined, because on April 4, it announced that it would not run a presidential candidate, and stopped its paid registration drive.

The Common Sense Party has 20,132, down from the February tally when it had 22,029.  It no longer has a paid registration drive either.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s We the People Party has 13,523.  This is its first tally.  Its registration drive had not begun yet when the last tally was done.  The purpose of the We the People Party was to put Kennedy on the ballot, but that became unnecessary on April 29, when the American Independent Party nominated Kennedy.

The Forward Party has 287 registrants.  This is its first tally also.  It had been working with the Common Sense Party, but for some reason decided to do its own drive.

The Justice for All Party has 1,516 registrants.  This is Cornel West’s party.  He will not be on the ballot in California.

If all the voters in the No Labels, Common Sense, We the People, and Forward Parties, would register into the same party, it would have 74,277 registrants, enough to qualify.

As to the qualified parties and their percentages:  Democratic 46.19%; Republican 24.73%; American Independent 3.83%; Libertarian 1.07%; Peace & Freedom .64; Green .47%.

The February 2024 percentages were:  Democratic 46.59%; Republican 24.41%; American Independent 3.78%; Libertarian 1.09%; Peace & Freedom .63%; Green .46%.

  4. LP registrations actually declined by 2,757 between February and July. His Royal Highness, Donald J. Trump should send a thank you note to Angela McArdle and Adrian F Malagon.

  5. Perhaps nominating a child abuse covid mandate supporter in Chase Oliver is why LP registration went down.

  10. Synthia: I am not willing to let you or anyone else decide who I should vote for. I am voting for who I think will do the best job, not for who is more popular with other people.

    If I allow you to pressure me into voting for Trump or Harris then I will have wasted my vote even though one of them most likely will win. I would be wasting my vote because I don’t want either of them. If I vote for RFK Jr, Cornel West, Rachele Fruit, or someone else and they lose, then I DID NOT waste my vote because I voted for who I wanted.

    Voting is about expressing your opinion, voting is not about picking a winner. You and most Americans do not have any idea about what voting is and what Democracy means.

  11. Lol hilarious to see noted troll retard Robert K Stock lecture people.

    How long before “Taran” and “Dylan” come in to back him up?

  16. Taran and Dylan have nothing to do with Stock. I only know of Dylan and Stock thru this site. We’re all communists. We disagree on a lot of things. Dylan, if I remember right, is anti voting. He believes it legitimizes an illegitimate election system and regime. Stock supports Kennedy or fringe socialist electoral parties. I support working thru the Democratic Party as a pragmatic incremental strategy while organizing workers for revolution outside of electoral politics. This is the first time I’ve heard of Synthia.

    The actual troll of many names here is the mentally ill child who accuses us all, anyone else even remotely on the left who comments here, and many others who are not even on the left at all of being Stock with zero evidence. It’s mental illness includes accusing others of doing what it actually does.

    Apparently this mentally challenged trumptard was sexually molested as a boy by a leftist older man, and never got over it. He now trolls this site relentlessly for no apparent reason, working overtime to make sure no voices from the left or center can engage in dialogue without being accused of its own nefarious tactics, name called, shouted down, etc. A very strange hobby. Playground bullying doesn’t work on adults, especially by someone who is quite obviously stuck in arrested development, intellectually and emotionally, and equally obviously was the one bullied as a child.

    Note to weetard: no amount of your attempted online bullying will even those scales, moron. You need therapy, but will probably never seek or accept it. Your weird hobby will never be an adequate substitute. Find another way to deal with your cognitive dissonance. Your trolling addiction is pretty useless, both to yourself and others. It doesn’t and can’t accomplish what you seek from it.

  17. Lol how convenient “Taran” returns right after Stock posts. It’s so obvious Taran is Stock.

  18. You summoned me. The only thing obvious us you’re a liar and a troll with severe mental problems. Too bad you refuse to seek the therapy you so obviously and badly need. At least your “last name” is apt.

  22. Since I’m not either Dylan or Stock, I have no idea. I haven’t seen him comment in a while. Unfortunately, despite your simple mindedness, you relentless projection, name calling, silly accusations and childish insults have succeeded in driving some intelligent commenters away, making the conversation far less worthwhile for those still here.

    This is probably the most successful you’ve been at anything in your life, pathetic as that is. You could succeed at far more meaningful, worthy and satisfying pursuits and actually be useful to others if you got the psychological help you so stubbornly avoid.

  24. No, but you are all of those – projecting, insane, using multiple names, trolling, lying, and furthermore it’s obvious. You know it, and you know everyone else knows it. Look at yourself in the mirror. Pathetic. This is the best way you can spend your time and “talents”?

  26. How stupid do you have to be to care who posted which comments? Either come up with logical arguments and facts or quit wasting your time and everyone else’s. Get a life y’all. Nobody cares who you are or who any one here is. This is one of many thousands of niche chat forums online, which very few people even know much less care even exists. Stop clogging it with meaningless games and noise. None if you matter. Get better hobbies. Please.

  27. Maybe California finally hit rock bottom? Republican registrations are on the rise. Vagrant encampments are being cleared. There are some faint signs of intelligent life rebounding on the bleak surface of that dilapidated planet.

  32. It will be awesome when Trump stuns everyone and carries all 50 states. Demon rats will get DC 3 electors, Trump 535.

  33. It will be awesome when Harris stuns everyone and carries everything except Wyoming and West Virginia. Well, it won’t be that lopsided, but way more lopsided than all but a few people dare imagine yet.

  35. It’s most likely to be a seesaw of momentum shifts and another photo finish. The end result is unpredictable, but it’s highly unlikely to be anything but very close at the end.

  36. Trump will be lucky if he saves himself from prison of the gallows, most likely be fleeing the country. Nothing will save you.

  38. You would only know that if you’re stock. So either you’re lying, crazy, stock, or more than one of those. You sound really, really stupid when you pop up every time anyone says anything against Trump and claim it’s stock. The more you do it, the less chance anyone would believe you, that is if anyone cared.

  39. Stock is a troll is obviously Stock trolling again. He can’t stand not being the center of attention. Maybe nobody notices him in real life.

  40. Regardless of who you think or want people to think I am, obviously I’m right, or you’d have a better answer than pointless guessing games about my supposed identity. Face it, you’re a hopeless loser who fell for a con man and joined a dead end cult. Get out before the last few believers drink the poison kool aid or cut off their genitals so they get picked up by a comet.

  44. You should start your own troll site instead of trolling all day here, Retard. And stop talking to yourself. Or at least don’t do it here. Buzz off.

    Dr. Walter Trump: great find! I only saw excerpts before. Solid gold!

  45. Donald Trump con game is as obvious and transparent as Walter Trump’s in 1958 track down tv show, utube link above. Only rubes fall for it. Unfortunately there are many rubes born every day.

  46. Trump is not going to save you from being gay. Just accept it. There’s nothing wrong with the races blending, immigrants, immigration, changing gender roles, or all the other inevitable changes taking place. They will happen whether you like it or not. Relax and enjoy, they’ll work out for the best. Once you learn to enjoy being spitroasted, life is just an endless comedy. Fighting it only makes it hurt more. Otherwise nothing changes. Same end result.

  49. TROLL OUT BURSTS CONNECTED TO MOON PHASES / SUN EXPLOSIONS / CICADA CYCLES / FAILURE TO TAKE BRAIN MEDS / ETC ???

  50. Voter precincts should be small, with neighbors who know each other well all their lives voting. Their families should know each other for several generations. No formal voter registration, every voter would know exactly who all the voters in the precinct are. Not coming from a family that’s been in the precinct for several generations should be one of the many disqualifications from voting. Maybe 1 in a thousand people should be allowed to vote.

  51. Voter precincts should be exactly one eligible voter big, and move with that person wherever they go. Formal voter re-registration required each year. Secure UOCAVA-style absentee voting only upon request with reason during annual registration. Otherwise in-person Australian ballot voting only at the location given during annual registration.

  53. @Nunya,

    Federal government should provide identity documents to all persons lawfully present in the US. When someone changes domicile, they inform the federal government. No need for voter registration since the federal government can simply tell state election officials.

    All voting in person. Those present in other states or countries can vote at vote centers (in consulates, etc.)

  54. Federal id is a terrible idea, something Americans used to understand. Remember when SS cards used to say not for identification purposes? There was a justifiable fear behind that.

  55. BIBLE REVELATION 666 ID STUFF IS HERE/NOW —-

  56. AZ: The Bible is a book of fairy-tales. And since there is no such thing as Christ, there can be no Anti-Christ.

    Some Christians, the Catholic Church for instance, do not look at the Book of Revelation as prophecy. They say the Book of Revelation refers to what happened in the Roman Empire in rhe first century.

    The Catholic Church says that Revelation was written “in code” because of the persecution of Christians at the time. According to the Catholic Church the number 666 refers to the person who was the Roman Emperor when the book was written.

    Martin Luther did not think that Revelation should be in the Bible.

    There is no such thing as a “Last Days” or “End Times” with the exception of each person’s individual death.

  57. @Jim Riley
    I’m with Karl on this. There is no legal basis for federal (or state) ID. In other countries is has already proven to be a police state disaster. Mandating driver’s licenses and vehicle registrations, is already bad enough.
    As for the federal government hand over your legal address to state government (or to other branches and agencies of the federal government) and vice versa… Don’t let the government’s right hand, know what its left hand is doing.
    Registering to vote, by contrast, is voluntarily opting in to the government violating your rights for the specific one-time purpose of voting in that year.

  58. @Robert K Stock
    You’ve got it all jumbled up. There are some protestant sects that claim Revelations has already been fulfilled. Catholics correctly view such preterism as a type of heresy. Which is mildly ironic given that they themselves adhere to several other heretical beliefs. The idea that the Beast, whose number is 666, refers to the emperor Nero, likewise is not a view held by catholics.

  59. Nuna: You are dead wrong. I first learned about the Catholic view of Revelation and the number of the beast 666 referring to Nero from conversations with devout Catholics over 40 years ago. Since then I have read the same in print and online from multiple sources. I didn’t get anything wrong about some Protestant sects either, I just didn’t mention them.

  60. Stock is a lying troll retard. Ignore him, otherwise his personas (Taran, Dylan, etc) will magically appear defending him and he’ll become unhinged.

  61. @Karl,

    What does your SS Card say? Type in the current statement (do not include the sequence of digits).

  62. Unlicensed drivers on the roads and no ids for police to identify or investigate criminals. No ids for employers or landlords or anyone else to check applications. Child molesters and bank robbers and every type of criminal that exists with free access to any job or dwelling or school etc. What could possibly go wrong? Sounds like paradise, right?

  63. It still says not for identification purposes on mine. I’ve had no reason to have it replaced. I’ve read that, unfortunately, the new ones no longer say that. Do you know why they used to?

  64. Delusional child,

    I’m not anyone’s persona, I’m just me, and I don’t know or care what different sects of colonizers from outside Turtle Island (what you call America) believe religiously. Their religion has never been mine. My religion or spiritual faith is that of my native ancestors. 666 is just another number with no spiritual significance to me. I believe nature and ancestral spirits of many generations on the land I live in are sacred and provide me with guidance and spiritual strength. Fascists like you call that blood and soil. Those of you who are not native should return to your ancestral continents and reconnect with your ancestral spirits there.

  65. How interstate. Rad and Taran, two of Stock’s personalities, post to defend him. Hmmm.

  67. I have to wonder how many American Independent Party registrants think they are registering independent, that is not aligning with a political party? It’s by far the largest third party. The party’s website list issues but say nothing about those issues. http://www.aipca.vote/

    That could leave power to whoever makes that party’s choices that has almost nothing to do with the views of its registrants.

  68. @Karl,

    Mine says:

    “For Social Security and Tax Purposes – Not For Identification”

    On the back it says to show the card to an employer. If you were hired, the employer might ask for proof of identity. If it was to mow his lawn and he did not intend to report your employment, let alone withhold taxes and FICA, he might not care that the SS Card says “Brenda” rather than “Karl”. If he is going to check your credentials, say to drive a truck loaded with toxic chemicals, he is going to check your ID, and do fingerprinting and drug tests.

    That you have the card in your wallet does not establish that you are “Karl”.

    But just because you can’t use the SS Card as proof of ID, it does not mean that their can not be government-issued proof of ID.

  69. Delusional child,

    I didn’t show up to defend Stock. I showed up because you asked for me, and took no position on what Stock said, because I don’t know or care about what positions different religious sects which originate from a different continent take about the meaning of their religious books. My position is that those whose ancestry is from other continents should go back there and take their religions with them.

  70. I’m not Rad either but I don’t see where he defended Stock. Are you seeing things that aren’t there?

  72. @jskdn
    The argument has been made repeatedly in the past that most of the AIP’s membership comes from mistaken registrations, but I am skeptical that even in California a significant number of voters would be quite that stupid.

  73. Delusional child, you have zero evidence for your repeated claims. I’m not either of them, and disagree with any number of things they have said. They disagree with each other too, since Stock is a Kennedy supporter and Rad doesn’t even want Kennedy to be allowed in the ballot.

    It must be hell for your parents when it’s summer vacation. I feel sorry for them.

  74. Nuña, you vastly underestimate how stupid (or distracted/disinterested) voters are. I’ve done voter registration drives in California and seen it first hand. Yes, they are that stupid. I’ve seen lots of people check the AIP box and if I wasn’t too busy I would ask them if they knew they were registering with a party or anything about it. Less than 1% did. A few wanted to change it after I explained that. Most didn’t care enough to spend any additional time, if at all.

  75. I shouldn’t say stupid. Some of these people were obviously smart – doctors, for example. I doubt you can get an MD if you’re actually stupid. It’s just that they didn’t care enough about what party if any they were registered with to check and initial a change on the form, much less fill out a new one. Many actually told me they literally didn’t care.

    Sometimes, the voter registration drives were paid for by parties. And I had plenty of people willing to register with a party they obviously didn’t support just because I asked them to, many without any additional convincing.

  76. Jskdn: At least if we count only people who registered in the 21st century, I doubt even 1% of the AIP registrations are party supporters. My hunch is that is also true of people who registered in the 1990s and probably even the 1980s too. For those who have been registered that way since the 1960s or 70s, the percentage of those who actually know if and support that party is probably a lot higher.

    Does anyone here know when mail in registration became available in California? Was there a time when you had to go to the registration office or courthouse to register to vote, or when forms were only available from deputy registrars and could only be turned into them? If so, when did that change? I know for a fact it would have been in the last century.

    Supposing there was a time when the forms weren’t freely available, were registrars commonly in the practice of explaining the party choices at all back then?
