New way to steal your vote

  It's being reported that in California criminals are taking a new approach to stealing your vote: handing a "petition" to passersby, asking them to sign to extend prison time for sex offenders when, in reality, it was a voter registration form that would authorize mail in ballots. Addresses were left blank.
  Oddly, a "party affiliation" was already checked but the news report doesn't identify which one.

Griggs grabbed the form off of the mens' clipboard and later found out that it wasn't a petition she was signing, but a California voter registration form. Griggs said the two men walked away with at least 20 people's signatures. On the form, a party affiliation was already filled out and the initialled spot said the voter wanted to a receive mail-in ballot.

  Why anyone thinks this would make a difference in California, where everyone votes one party anyway, is unexplained.
