Here's what we've found when it comes to the origins of unfounded voter fraud claims in California.
. The state Republican Party has launched its own fraud program, as have leaders of several conservative political action committees. They are competing for the attention and donations of a common conservative base. But one group stands out: poll observer logs from four counties — Orange, San Diego, Fresno and San Luis Obispo — show the vote watchers hail almost exclusively from the Election Integrity Project.
On first pass, the organization appears to be dedicated to the noble cause of ensuring our elections are fair, but the reality is quite different. The organization, which grew out of the tea party movement, says it has trained some. The actual number will probably be much smaller, though some registrars are concerned the group’s claims will discourage people from voting and thus undermine confidence in the election process.
Secretary of state guidelines for the recall election tell counties that observers are prohibited from challenging voters, but the document is silent on whether that includes the validation of a voter’s signature.that he has seen observers decide which ballots to challenge based on voter surnames and other demographics that allowed them to guess a voter’s leanings.
