That's the specific issue, paying someone to register or paying them to vote is illegal. So if a political party is bussing or attracting people to come for free housing or free drugs, and a secondary operation to register/vote, that would not be in the spirit of free and fair elections. And on top of that, we don't really know if these people are CA residents. Just because you're homeless doesn't make you a resident. When I moved from Oregon to CA 14 years ago, they asked for my OR license and punched a hole into it. When I AGAIN moved to CA from TX a year ago, they no longer punch a hole in it. These changes and actions are to facilitate as much illegal voting as possible. Even if you refuse to look at this stuff from that lens, what if that is a lens someone in policy is doing this. I remember a time 12 years ago in HN people would discuss possible voting strategies to make the vote secure via tech/blockchain/etc.. I feel like in the last 6 years all of that discussion is missing, gone and unwanted. What happened?
