Many voters forced into provisional ballots in San Diego County, CA (address issues)

[Land Shark]

Initial reports from one of my poll watchers that at the rate of 5 per hour, voters are being told they have address discrepancies and on that basis being told they must vote via PROVISIONAL ballots, where the right to vote is still an issue and subject to investigation later on as well as LATER COUNTING.

In addition, those voters asking for an emergency paper ballot at the polls have been "promised" by the local registrar that they won't even start to count those ballots until Thursday. In a court ruling Monday, Superior Court Judge Vargas found that since it appeared the votes will eventually be properly counted, this separate but equal system did not violate any law. First, it's not really equal (we have to do an exit poll to track the differences by ballot type, and they can more strictly or loosely enforce rules on the later counted ballot types) and even if it is equal, "separate but equal" has been rejected by history and by Brown v. Board of Education. Bush v. Gore, by the way, applies these equal protection concepts to ballots, not just to protected classes like race, sex, etc.

At least in san diego county, IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT DEMOCRATIC VOTES WILL NOT BE COUNTED ON ELECTION NIGHT, at least not many of them.

PATIENCE needs to be preached to the media in all jurisdictions, especially in jurisdictions in which paper ballots are provided as an option at the polls, and where there is anything other than a very minor number of provisional ballots...

The election will not be over or announced tuesday night, and anybody that says otherwise without stating both the number and the source of uncounted ballots and what the partisan mix of those ballots are (they can't know that precisely, since they are uncounted) is speaking prematurely.

Democrats in close races will be playing comeback as later paper is counted...
