- ''2009-08-01 18:06:16'' [[nbsp]] DCD may have committed some serious voter fraud. After registering as an INDEPENDENT on my ballot for the 2008 election, I was subsequently signed up for the Yolo Young Dems mailing list. Now... I realize that the target of your voter registration efforts was to get Obama in office, but tampering with my registration constitutes fraud. I have contacted the YYD to get this issue resolved, but have not received any response 1 month after contacting officers. As far as I'm concerned, DCD are the ones at fault here, and if my concerns are not addressed soon, I may have to take this matter to state/federal authorities. Please try to contact me if something similar has happened to you when you registered non-dem with the club and we might be able to get some concurrence in our charges. --["Users/JesseUnger"] - * What you're describing is not actually illegal. In fact, the law was written to allow this kind of behavior. --["Users/BrentLaabs"] - * If that is the case, then why have I not received a response in over a month from 2 officers. Also-- where is this so-called law?. --["Users/JesseUnger"] - * "Elections Code § 2194 requires that personal information provided on voter registration cards is confidential but may be released to persons who intend to use that information for election, scholarly, journalistic, or political purposes, or for governmental purposes, as determined by the Secretary of State." [http://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/guidetovr_1006.pdf Source]--["Users/BrentLaabs"] - * If I would have registered as a democrat, it would not have been a problem, but I did not. I am familiar with information being released by the Secretary to the party of registration, but from what I can tell, DCD either took my information directly off of my registration, violating my confidentiality, or changed my registration to their party, constituting fraud. Why would the Secretary release my information a party which I did not register? Oh-- and don't forget to continue to read about, in bold, "Voter rolls may not be used for commercial purposes."--["Users/JesseUnger"] - * Guess I'll be taking your non-response as an admittance of possible wrongdoing by DCD? --["Users/JesseUnger"] - * You can take my non-response however you like. Sure, it's an "admittance" of wrongdoing. Though I've never been a member of DCD nor Yolo Dems. Nor does it change the fact that EC §2194 allows the release of your voter record data to any person for political purposes. --["Users/BrentLaabs"] - * Are you saying that my registration with DCD voter registration has nothing to do with my appearance on YCYD listserv? I find that hard to believe. Guess I'll have to contact the county clerk and find out the true origins of this mystery --["Users/JesseUnger"] - * Voter registration data is a matter of public record. You can get a copy of anyone's voter registration card from the County Clerk Recorder's office. -J Zwald - Oh, I guess that's why its referred to in the law as being "confidential" --["Users/JesseUnger"] - ------ - ''2009-08-02 17:54:46'' [[nbsp]] First and foremost, the Davis College Democrats do not perform voter fraud. - I said they may, not that they did --["Users/JesseUnger"] - Secondly, DCD has no control over the Yolo Young Dems mailing list. - * How am I supposed to know that? Sounds to me like their both officially connected to the Democratic Party --["Users/JesseUnger"] - Thirdly, I have not received any contact from anyone in regards to such issues. I've been on the DCD board since 2007, currently serving as President, and my e-mail has been posted here for quite some time. If you have any concerns regarding anything the organization does, please get in touch with me and I'll try to take care of it as soon as possible. I check my e-mail an unusually high amount every day. - * I didn't contact DCD, I contacted YCYD (x2) and have still not received an answer. You'll understand my suspicion when you know that the sole purpose of the e-mail was to find out the origin of my placing on the mailing list. You'll also understand why not hearing from them in over a month has led to my conclusion of POSSIBLE voter fraud --["Users/JesseUnger"] - -Brandon J. Craig, President --["Users/bjcraig"] - * Craig asked me to add this further point, which is that the Yolo County Young Democrats (hereafter referred to as YCYD), are a completely separate organization from DCD, with separate leadership / executive boards, and have created their own listserve which we have absolutely nothing to do with. Additionally, both organizations are connected to the Yolo County Democratic Central Committee (or YCDCC), which can legally request voter information for all registered voters in the County from the Yolo County Registrar of Voters. I'd consider that a possible origin for your information, instead of jumping to conclusions of "voter fraud".-["Users/MaxMikalonis" M.] - Though it cannot be used "for commercial purposes" --["Users/JesseUnger"] - ------ - ''2009-08-03 09:14:43'' [[nbsp]] Since this discussion has nothing to do with the Davis College Democrats (they have nothing to do with either the records or the Yolo County Young Democrats), a better place to move it to might be the ["Democratic Party"] entry. --[wiki:gnome:]["Users/JabberWokky" Evan 'JabberWokky' Edwards] - How does this having nothing to do with DCD?

But there are more ways to assist campaigns that performing on-site actions, such as phonebanking, which may be done from any location.

The organization is developing a plan which involves lobbying each and every member of the California State Assembly and State Senate. This process includes creating a manual on each legislator and a brief description of their districts so that we may be better informed when promoting student issues. However, advocacy does not end at meeting with Assemblymembers and Senators. The organization will also be promoting letter-writing and phone-calling campaigns to legislative offices in support of integral issues.

A student with an interest in learning more about the US Government, the Democratic Party, or the political universe will find that information in this organization. DCD also demonstrates a strong ability to provide opportunities for those wishing to become more involved, from campaign work to community service to lobbying on behalf of student issues. In accomplishing these tasks, students receive numerous opportunities to have one-on-one conversations with high-ranking government officials. As the official wing of the Democratic Party to students at UC Davis, we work to promote Democratic ideals and candidates.

- * Actually, Cecilia and I were at the same time (1994-96). The campus's previous organization, Davis Young Democrats, had become overly involved (in our opinion) in campus politics, and wasn't affiliated with the statewide California College Democrats, California Young Democrats or the national College Democrats of America. Since I was president of California College Democrats at the time I transferred from Orange Coast College, we pushed Davis Young Democrats to affiliate, but it just wasn't their thing. Thus, after fighting the student activities bureaucracy for separate recognition (by then, DYD President Peter Nguyen was president of ASUCD, and felt that the clubs were competing), and with the help of Cinthia Hamner-Portugal (who served as Regional Director of College Democrats of America) and others, we got the club off the ground.

(I can say this as past president of the Law Students Association at King Hall and someone that did a lot of statewide student government stuff, albeit not ASUCD.) Most importantly, however, campus political activism goes in waves. The "everyone's safe" redistricting didn't help...many of us came together on campus to fight to save Congressman Vic Fazio in the 1994 Republican landslide. Vic was in line (3rd of 4th) to be Speaker of the House, and he was in a competitive seat. Across the state, young Democrats and Republicans used to find their connection to politics through local Assembly, State Senate and Congressional campaigns. Those campaigns are just not exciting anymore, at least in the general election. More often, we're fighting within parties (see the race between two good friends of mine Cabaldon v. Yamada for an example). So, instead of having a big fight to win the 8th AD in the general, when Democrats are united as one, we spend a year divided over who the nominee is, and that nominee is almost certainly going to win the seat in the general. Anyway, that's far more than you asked for!--["Users/ScottLay"]

	+ * Actually, Cecilia and I were at the same time (1994-96). The campus's previous organization, Davis Young Democrats, had become overly involved (in our opinion) in campus politics, and wasn't affiliated with the statewide California College Democrats, California Young Democrats or the national College Democrats of America. Since I was president of California College Democrats at the time I transferred from Orange Coast College, we pushed Davis Young Democrats to affiliate, but it just wasn't their thing. Thus, after fighting the student activities bureaucracy for separate recognition, and with the help of Cinthia Hamner-Portugal and others, we got the club off the ground. We did have a tradition of working with DCR in a mutually beneficial way. We never had rallies together, but sponsored debates and forums that increased the visibility of party politics (rather than just ASUCD politics) on campus. Of course, this was during and after the "Contract with America" year of 1994 and through Clinton's 1996 re-election, so the parties looked starkly different. - ["ScottLay"]
