Debra Bowen for Secretary of State

Campaign Unavailable

We're sorry, this alert is no longer available.

The short explanation of this alert was:

California Secretary of State Bruce McPherson entered into an agreement with the Bush Administration's Justice Department last year to implement a statewide voter registration database system that will disenfranchise tens of thousands of voters in California.

More than 14,000 new voter registration and re-registration applications from Los Angeles County alone were recently invalidated under this new stringent set of regulations -- and other counties are seeing similar results.

This is a 43% rejection rate! In fact, virtually all of these applications would have been accepted before Secretary McPherson rolled out his new statewide voter registration database. Typically rejection rates are 1-2%. This is outrageous.

Now Secretary McPherson says he will try to get the Legislature to pass a bill to overturn his restrictive, anti-voter regulations.  Why should the people of California wait for the Legislature and Governor to act, with the April 11th special election in San Diego less than a week away and the June 6th primary rapidly approaching, when Secretary McPherson can fix this problem now?  McPherson created this problem -- now he should own up to it, show some leadership, take some responsibility, and fix it. 

Send Secretary McPherson an email now!
