California should really just divorce and part ways with us. Would be best for both parties. They'd have to pay us a lot though as a price for our generosity in letting them leave. The other liberal states like NY we can work with, but CA is off in lala unicorn crazy land on it's own.

True, they don't know. And neither does anyone else.

If you have some actual evidence, please produce it.

Don't confuse them, their minds are made up.

But this is not about illegals simply being here. It's about the right-wing accusing illegals of casting 3 million votes, which is a notion that anybody with sense would realize is ridiculous.

CA is one mess of .. errr heck of state.

I disagree. I visit California often and I love it. It's beautiful.

I agree. Snopes is like the parent tucking you in at night, telling you, "There's no such thing as monsters, honey!".

Well, there ARE monsters. And Snopes seems always eager to "debunk" anything which challenges the prevailing orthodoxy, as if we're all were children, needing to be pacified, so that we'll shut up and go back to sleep.

As I was leaving CA there was passed and signed a LAW that PROHIBITED local DA's from Persuing voter fraud charges against any illegal who had voted but was registered via the DMV.
