“Hackers are going on and changing (online) voter registrations,” said Riverside (California) District Attorney Mike Hestrin. “We know hackers are doing it but we don’t know who they are.”
Another group of investigators was sent to the polls for the primary elections to ask questions. They found that when voters asked for provisional ballots after realizing that their party identification had changed, they were never received. Hestrin said that he had talked with the Registrar of Voters to ensure that anyone who asked for a provisional ballot would receive one.
“No one is going to be disenfranchised in this county,” Hestrin said.
He also noted that there may be a bigger problem in the county and it may have to go to the Board of Supervisors. Almost all of the county’s electronics are still on DOS, he said.
“We are so far behind any hacker can get into it… We need to upgrade our voter technology.”
He said his investigators are continuing their investigation into voter fraud and online hacking.
Oh, noes! Another bunch of disgruntled sore loser Bernie voters!!
No wait:
According to Hestrin, as far as his investigators are concerned, only Republicans were hacked Tuesday.
Voters all across Riverside County were surprised Tuesday, June 7 to find that they had either been re-registered as democrats or “declined to state,” barring them from the closed republican primary, or were otherwise turned away from the polls. Multiple reports of voter irregularities were filed in as the day went on. Enough were filed to warrant an investigation by the District Attorney, according to GOTV Vice-Chairman Michael Garrison. As the investigation is under way, hundreds of voters feel suppressed by what are being called “voter abnormalities.”

The article includes the accounts of several voters who were changed to Democrat, no preference, or even Green, without their knowledge, and indicates they had calls from “a couple hundred” voters who’d had their affiliations changed.
Those that had voted Republican for years and even decades suddenly had to either accept a democrat ballot or try their hand with a provisional one.
“We spend so much time on protecting voters’ rights but it seems that the right to make sure that your party affiliation is correct is not protected,” said (Vice Chair of the Republican Party) Ingram. “It is amazing to me that somebody could be a republican for 40 plus years and then all of a sudden their affiliation is changed and there is no notification process. There is no way to go and find who did this.”
I would assume we can dispense with the idea that these people are complaining for any other reason than that they didn’t like the fact that their affiliations were changed without their permission or knowledge. Or that this didn’t happen elsewhere, and to others, as reported.
So, what the heck is going on?
