BALLOT TRACKING: Either before or after you vote, you may track your ballot – see link on Save California site.
For greater security for your ballot, SaveCalifornia.com recommends voting early, in-person, and using a paper ballot (avoid dropbox and voting by computer).
See how on our Oct. 22 blog
If you can’t vote in-person with a paper ballot, second best is delivering your sealed ballot to your county’s main registrar of voters’ office (drop your sealed ballot in the locked “slot” or “box” or “mailbox” that is inside your county registrar of voters’ office), while avoiding other “drop boxes.”
1) Be a poll watcher
Work for election integrity and become a poll watcher this election. Contact your county Republican Party and ask them how. Find them by searching online the name of your county and Republican Party. Search example: “Sacramento County Republican Party.”
Visit Election Integrity Project California to learn about “How and why to observe ballot processing,” “Adopt one or more drop boxes in your area,” and more.
2) Advance election integrity by collecting ballots at your church building
Local churches can and should collect completed ballots from people in their congregations. This is a great way to get more good votes in. If you’re part of a local church, it might be your best “get out the vote” effort!
Talk to your pastor about the need to multiply good votes and keep ballots secure. Ask him to announce the church will collect and deliver people’s ballots. Then on that day (best is the last two Sundays, Oct. 20 and 27), have a secure box at a table in the foyer (with a good identifying sign) that you guard and have available before and after the church meeting.
When you talk with your pastor, also ask to have a voter registration table and announce this opportunity up front. Oct. 21 is the voter registration deadline, so your last chance for Voter Registration Sunday is Oct. 20.
Your (or the pastor’s) announcement will encourage congregants there’s a secure place to deposit their ballots (just make sure you don’t mix ballots from different counties, because an elections office can only receive ballots from voters in its own county). “Ballot collecting” is completely legal.
CALIFORNIA STATE PROPOSITIONS
….We encourage you to vote NO on ANY AND ALL tax increases, tax extensions, bonds (which is borrowing money with interest, which is always more expensive than a direct tax), fees, and assessments.
NO — Prop. 2 would waste even more taxpayer dollars on the wasteful, dumbing down, politically-correct K-12 government schools and community colleges. Making this $10 BILLION bond all the more expensive are interest payments, which nearly doubles the huge debt it proposes to levy upon already-hurting Californians.
NO — Prop. 3 would permit polygamy, bigamy, child marriages, incestuous marriages (and even people-animal and people-object marriages) by superseding all marriage statutes with an extremely broad and subjective state constitutional amendment claiming “a fundamental right … to marry” whomever and whatever (the sky’s the limit). Prop. 3 won’t make any practical difference on same-sex marriages, yet by preempting all existing marriage definitions, standards, and limits, this radical proposal opens up “Pandora’s Box.”
More about Prop. 3
NO — Prop. 4 would fund another lie-based, subsidization of wasteful environmental groups via a $10 BILLION bond, costing taxpayers even more money, and with interest (a bond is always more expensive than a direct tax).
More about Prop. 4
NO — Prop. 5 would permit higher property taxes (attacking Prop. 13 from 1978) by lowering the “vote threshold from 66.67% to 55% for local special taxes and bond measures to fund housing projects and public infrastructure.” Targets all property owners.
NO — Prop. 6 would call it “slavery” to make prisoners do work they don’t wish to do. This soft-on-crime proposition would prohibit the Department of Corrections from disciplining (removing privileges from) convicts who refuse their work assignments.
NO — Prop. 32 would increase the “minimum wage” to $18/hr. for all California employees (killing even more jobs and businesses).
NO — Prop. 33 would permit cities and counties to impose deceptive “rent control,” which will result in fewer rentals and higher rents, as frustrated landlords sell their rental houses and duplexes to become primary residences, and as developers lack investors to build new rentals.
More about Prop. 33
YES — Prop. 34 would require AIDS Healthcare Foundation of Los Angeles, notorious for misspending taxpayer dollars, “to spend 98% of revenues from the federal discount prescription drug program on direct patient care.”
NO — Prop. 35 would permanently tax health insurers to pay for the state’s “Medi-Cal” welfare program, which will hike insurance costs for the rest of us.
YES — Prop. 36 would increase penalties for theft and fentanyl possession, and repeal the worst parts of Prop. 47 from 2014. Equipping county district attorneys to prosecute, it would send the message to would-be robbers that retail theft is a crime again.
CANDIDATES
Search for a candidate’s name along with other search terms (one a time), such as Covid, mask, lockdown, test, pandemic, medical freedom, life, reproductive, abortion, gay, LGBT, gun, taxes, fees, constitution, etc.
1. Have your sample ballot in front of you
2. On a computer with internet, type in a search engine a candidate’s first and last name and office they are seeking, such as “Assembly,” “Senate,” “Congress,” “U.S. Representative,” etc.
3. Then, one word at a time, one search at a time, search the candidate name and a key word, such as “pandemic.” This could reveal the candidate’s statements, positions, or votes on the subject. For example, if you want to search candidate John Smith for State Assembly and his position on sexual perversity, enter John Smith, Assembly, California, LGBT. By poking around, you might find his position on this tyrannical agenda.

Don’t vote Democrat and save California!
I hope everyone can see that Democrats have ruined California and are trying to do more damage. If Democrats didn’t control schools and universities and brainwash the younger generations, nobody would ever vote for them. Democrat voters have to be made, just like gays, because it’s unnatural.
Jesuit America Magazine has been running story after story telling people that the Catholic vote should be for Kamala. They say Kamala has Catholic cred. Are Jesuits stupid now?
Jesuits for Kamala: Don’t read Jesuit America Magazine because it’s always wrong. Kamala told two young Christians they are in the wrong rally when they said, “Jesus is Lord.”
The Jesuits, from the very top to bottom, have corrupted themselves–see Jesuit at Large p. 14. Their priorities have so shifted from their great missionary impulse, personified by St. Francis Xavier, to fixation on immigration and climate change, justice for the poor and LGBTQ rights. Harris’ border mess is the kind of mess, IMO, contemplated by Pope Francis when he called on South American youth to “make a mess.” LGBTQ+ rights is right in line with the strong clerical Lavender mafia, and right in line with Harris’ poison. I am not surprised at America Magazine’s favoring of Harris. I suspect they at America have the pope’s backing on this as well. If so Harris has all the catholic credentials she needs.
We don’t need any Kamala toe in the white house.
The USCCB’s “Faithful Citizenship Guide” pretty much supports the Democrats.
What happened to: Restrainer on Save California publishes good 2024 election guide: “Jesuits for Kamala: Don’t read Jesuit America Magazine because it’s always wrong. Kamala told two young Christians they are in…”

Restrainer’s post seems to have vanished.
Ignore my 1:06 post. I jumped the gun. Sorry
Did you see the rioting, mayhem, looting, and pandemonium in Los Angeles because the Dodgers won the world series? Multiply that by a factor of 1,000 in every blue city in the country on Tuesday night after Donald Trump is declared the winner of the presidential election. Leftists are going to become unhinged, and criminal opportunists and anarchists will exploit the news.
The hyena was on Saturday Night Live last night. She is not a serious candidate. She is not a serious person. I have had it with Democrats. Anyone who votes for that cackling moron gets enemy-zoned in my book.
enemy-zoned: I will be very surprised if this is a close election. I don’t believe the polls at all. The polls always underestimate Donald Trump. While Harris did Saturday Night Live last night, Trump was going to do 6 or 7 more rallies. I haven’t watched Saturday Night Live in at least 15 years because it’s one sided Democratic propaganda like the rest of the legacy media. If Harris were to win it would be a terrible disaster for America. The economy and border security are two huge issues that will sway the voters. In God We Trust. God Bless America.
Let’s try this: The United States Vice President was on SNL last night.
We need some civility in our civil life. “hyena” is not acceptable language in polite society. Such name calling is degrading of the person using it and is not the norm for American behavior. We can disagree with the democratic platform all we want, but should do it in a polite and issued bound way.
BTW, we have the best economy in generations and certainly, it is the envy of the world right now. Just saying.
Bob One: It’s all well and good that you call for some civility in civil life. Why does Pamela Harris and the Democratic Party keep calling former President Donald Trump a Fascist and even worse “Hitler.” Even though there has even been two attempts on Trump’s life it doesn’t stop them from using that awful term. Aren’t Harris and the Democrats degrading themselves? What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
I always take my ballot directly to the registrars office and put it in the mailbox or take it into the building and vote early. They then notify me by e-mail that they got it, and it was counted. I did that many days ago. One time when I took my ballot into a drop off that was in a city building, no one was watching the cheap cardboard drop off box. The area was totally unwatched while a few people went in or out to drop off their ballots. That was when I decided to take it directly to the registrars office.
NBC broke FCC broadcast rules last night on Saturday Night Live by not giving Trump and other presidential candidates equal time on the program. They had Harris on the program. On top of that Harris wouldn’t answer a question from a reporter on how she voted on Propostion 36 which would have made it more difficult for people committing retail theft in California.
“BTW, we have the best economy in generations…” Bob One, this is one of those falsehoods that dies the death of a thousand qualifications, a number of which you yourself expressed in a previous thread: housing costs, food costs, medical costs, massive drugged out homeless. How secure is an economy with a National Debt in the trillions and unchecked immigration taxing our resources? How secure is an economy with violence in many cities? How many employers have left cities like San Francisco, Oakland and elsewhere due to crime? Have left California due to strangulating regulation? And there is a spiritual dimension to economic matters: the godless left is breathing threats and slaughter should Trump win. How do riots support a strong economy? How does the vandalization of churches promote peace in the neighborhood, where yes, small businesses struggle?
Yes, I remember one poor old black lady crying on a newscast because every store that she used for shopping had been burnt to the ground — all in the name of helping “minorities”, and another younger black woman distressed because her business, too, had been vandalized. Who does behavior like that help — absolutely no one and certainly not the environment.
I’d like to know what those who object to the word “hyena” said when the Left was burning down and looting businesses and government buildings after George Floyd died from his drug overdose and his death was unjustly blamed on approved police techniques for submission of a suspect resisting arrest. Oh, was that expression justified?
Just because someone calls you a name doesn’t mean it is ok for you to call them a name, in a civil society.
Tell me that you disagree with my position on some policy, but do it without calling me names or using pejoratives.
We were taught that in first grade by the good nuns.
Democrats are planning to cheat again. Stop the steal. They can’t cheat if it’s not close.
