The Los Angeles Times<\/em>, which has been among the worst major newspapers in the country — for years — in reporting (or, actually not<\/em> reporting) on issues of Election Integrity tells us today<\/a>, in regards to yesterday’s voting in California, that there were “Few election glitches, except for independents.”<\/p>\n

Um, does the braintrust at the LA Times<\/i> realize that out of 15.3 million registered voters in the state, some 20% of them, more than 3 million<\/em>, are “independents”? (3,043,164 to be exact, with more than 700,000 in LA alone, if the latest numbers<\/a> from the CA SoS are to be trusted). Plus more than 300,000 voters registered as “American Independent” who may or may not have wished to be included as members of that party? Or shall we just deliver the “Understatement of the Year Award” right now to the folks at the LA Times<\/em>?<\/p>\n

That’s more than just a “few glitches,” no?<\/p>\n

And if the following disturbing video from a Los Angeles Ron Paul supporter who switched from Democratic to Republican specifically to vote for Paul is any indication, it’s not just “independents” who experienced “few election glitches” yesterday…<\/p>\n

For the record, the video taper is correct, and the poll worker is wrong. There is no CA law against video taping in the polling place, according to CA Election Integrity expert Tom Courbat of Riverside County’s SAVE R VOTE.<\/p>\n
