In before someone brings up CA voter suppression because they only allow you to vote for Democrat candidates.

It's not fraud, but I do find this interesting:

It certainly makes me think that Republicans will be more likely to adopt similar tactics in future elections in OC.

They literally were masquerading as election officials and threw away the votes of democrats. 

The republicans always, always, always.  Are doing exactly what they accuse the “libs” of doing.

theres nothing unfair about the jungle primary. The republicans don’t have the votes so they lose.  Your issue is that you don’t believe in the legitimacy of a popular vote.  That is not voter suppression. 

[UndertheHalo]

Republicans are crying about California counting all the votes.  They can go fuc* themselves.

This is so stupid and dishonest.  Whatever man.  The open primary and the independent districting were both brought before and approved by the voters.  Like I said.  You simply don’t respect the outcomes of a popular vote.

Did republicans have anyone to vote for in the senate for California the last two elections?

democrats have their own way of controlling the vote.

Because no republican got enough votes in the open primary.  Where republicans did have a chance to vote for a republican.  2 Republicans could also come out of this structure instead of 2 Democrats.  This won’t happen because of the states political make up.  But there’s no institutional structure that precludes that possibility.  You’re making a ludicrous false equivalence.  The political leanings of the state are what they are.  Republican voters are widely outnumbered.  Of the registered voters in the state they are approx 28%. Democrat’s are 44%.

When voters are not given the opportunity to vote for a candidate from the party of their choice, so they end up staying home, that's voter suppression.

I’m not going to keep repeating myself.  We have completely different ideas of what voter suppression is apparently.

I don't disagree.  Yours is much more limited than mine.
