I'm used to politicians stretching truth during the campaign, though Trump seems to have taken it to new levels.  There has been a need for fact checkers.  As a president elect / president does he think he can govern through the same style of blatant lies he used during the campaign?  Can he be "leader of the free world" when he has utterly destroyed his credibility?

Trump never had any credibility with you the left,  anyway.  The right recognizes that states like California, with no enforceable requirement for proof of citizenship in the registration or voting process, likely have many illegal immigrants voting, possibly in the millions given the ruling Democratic party's interest in having illegal aliens vote.  The center also recognizes that Trump's claim here is far more credible than the claims on the left about mass hacking of voting machines by the Russian government.

So, you're saying California does not require proof of citizenship to register to vote?  And proof of registration at the polls?

He's regurgitating the latest official White Supremacist talking points from Breitbart.

Real world CA (and no doubt Eric's had similar observations at his polls). My wife is an absentee voter. One year, instead of sending in her absentee ballot she wanted to go w/ me to vote in person. She brought her absentee ballot. At the polling station she had to surrender the absentee ballot and they scanned it in and destroyed it. She was not allowed to vote normally - she had to vote provisional. Process from there would have been, they check the provisional ballot against the absentee data base to ensure that the surrendered absentee ballot was really hers.

That's right. They (we, me) really check these things to make sure you don't vote twice. Hey, that's why the count takes longer. CA is more careful.
