Problems at the Polls with DTS Voters

February 5th, 2008 Written by: Mali· 1 Comment

Beaware that in many areas of California there have been problems reported with the “Decline to State” or “DTS” voters, also known as “unaffiliated,” “independent” or “non-partisan” voters.

DTS voters have the right to vote for Barack Obama. Problems have been reported that DTS voters have not been able to do so today.  Even if you’ve already voted, please make sure this information gets to as many voters as possible.

DTS voters have the right to vote for Barack Obama in the Democratic Presidential Primary.

DTS voters must identify themselves as DTS or non-partisan voters and ask to vote in the Democratic Presidential Primary when they arrive at their polling location. They will get instructions from a poll worker on how to vote in the Democratic Primary. If a voter gets into the voting booth and finds that he or she does not have an option to vote for Barack Obama, the voter should not cast his or her ballot. Instead, he or she should return the partially filled-out or unmarked ballot to the poll worker, and ask the poll worker to seek clarification from the supervisor at the polling location or from the County Registrar of Voters.

In Los Angeles County, DTS voters will be given a non-partisan ballot which they must take into a “Democratic” booth. They must mark both the “Democratic” bubble and the bubble for Barack Obama.

If you or anyone you know has had a problem with this today please call one of the following numbers depending on your area.

    Yep. Happened to me. Looks like I’m the new Florida, Baby! Give me an oversized car, slouch me down so I can’t see over the dashboard, and hit the pedal!
