In reply to the discussion: Colorado voter registration FRAUD caught on camera [View all]wtmusic
(39,166 posts)83. Not illegal.
CA elections code. 2158(2):
"Any citizen or organization that distributes voter registration cards designed pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 2157 shall give a voter registration card to any elector requesting it, provided that the citizen or organization has a sufficient number of cards."
What the young lady in the video is doing is in a gray area. If the person taking video:
1) Requested a card but was refused; or
2) Was given a card but that card wasn't submitted, defaced, etc
that would constitute election fraud.

Agreed, if she IS working for the gov, the people above her are likely more to blame.

No. They don't. It's illegal. You cannot only register one group of voters.
