THE PERSON OVER TWENTY TWENTY

PASS A HUNDRED THOUSAND IN THE
MARCH TWENTY TWENTY PRIMARY
ABOUT ONE POINT 5% THE BALLOT.
THE SECULAR STATE ISSUED
EMERGENCY REGULATIONS TO
STANDARDIZE SIGNATURE
VERIFICATION. BUT WAS FOR THE
NOVEMBER TWENTY TWENTY JIM
ELECTION ONLY. AND WHAT ABOUT
REJECTION RATE MARKEDLY
DECLINED THE REMAINS ARE
SCHEDULE VARIABILITY ACROSS
COUNTY LINES. TO SB FIVE OH

ANALYSIS I COMMIT TO CONTINUE
TO WORK WITH THE CHAIR AND
STAFF A BETTER CLARIFYING THE
STANDARD FOR SIGNATURE
VERIFICATION. AS SUGGESTED ON
PAGE EIGHT THE COMMITTEE NOW
SAYS. ALEX ARE EXPECT TO ASK
YOUR AYE VOTE WHEN SB FIVE OH

ALSO STANDING BY. RIFIC THANK
YOU SENATOR DECKER SO WE'LL GO

MIND OPEN. YES HELLO THIS IS
ERIC HARRIS CAN YOU HEAR ME WE
CANISTER HARRIS PLEASE PROCEED.
THANK YOU SO MUCH MY NAME IS
ERIC HARRIS AND I'M THE
DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC POLICY AT
DISABILITY RIGHTS CALIFORNIA
THANK YOU TO THE CHAIR AND
MEMBERS FOR HAVE LETTING YOU
SPEAK THIS MORNING. SB FIFTY
FIVE OH THREE SETS OUT COMMON
SENSE REQUIREMENTS FOR
SIGNATURE VERIFICATION THAT ARE
GOOD FOR ALL VOTERS AND
CODIFIES MANY OF THE BEST
PRACTICES. IN THE SECRETARY OF
STATE CURRENT REGULATIONS FOR
COUNTY ELECTIONS OFFICIALS FONG
COMPARING SIGNATURES. VOTERS
WITH DISABILITIES ARE MORE
LIKELY TO HAVE THEIR SIGNATURES
REJECTED. DUE TO MISMATCHES.
BECAUSE VOTERS WITHDISABILITIES. INST HAVE
SIGNATURES THAT CANGE OVER
TIME FOR STRUGGLE TO CREATE A
SEEMINGLY IDENTICAL SIGNATURE.
IN ADDITION TO VOTERS WITH
DISABILITIES AGING VOTERS AND
FIRST TIME VOTERS WILL BENEFIT
FROM SB FIVE OH THREE. THIS
BILL ESTABLISHES THAT AN EXACT
MATCH IS NOT REQUIRED AND
CREATES A PRESUMPTION THAT THE
SIGNATURE IS THE VOTERS. THE
BILL ALSO REQUIRES THE
REVIEWERS SHE USED THE
REGULATIONS AND THESE
REGULATIONS OVERALL ARE VERY
pINTERESTS OF THE VOTERS IN MY-
VOTING RIGHTS ADVOCATES
INCLUDING DRC RECOMMEND
COMMENTED. ON THE DRAFT
REGULATIONS THAT AND WE'RE
PLEASED WITH THE OUTCOME. THESE
REGULATIONS ALLOW SIGNATURE
REVIEWERS HAVE DIRECTLY TAKE
INTO ACCOUNT WHETHER A
DISABILITY HAVE IMPACTED THE
VOTER SIGNATURE AND OTHER
FACTORS LIKE TREMBLING AND
SHAKING. OVERALL THIS BILL IS
GOOD FOR VOTERS WITH
DISABILITIES. ANOTHER BENEFIT
OF THIS BILL IS THAT IT
EMPOWERS COUNTY ELECT COUNTY
ELECTION OFFICIALS TO BETTER
REACH OUT TO VOTERS WITH
MISMATCHED SIGNATURES.
CURRENTLY VOTERS ARE MAILED THE
NOTICE THAT THEIR SIGNATURES
MISMATCHED OR MISSING OR
MISSING. THIS IS GOOD BUT- BUT
MAIL IS NOT THE ONLY WAY TO
REACH OUT TO THE SUPPORTERS OF
DISABILITY. THIS BILL ALLOWS
COUNTY ELECTION OFFICIALS TO
USE OTHER FORMS IN A VOTERS
FILED NEXT TO CONTACT THEM. A
PHONE CALL OR AN EMAIL IS MUCH
MORE LIKELY TO REACH VOTERS
WITH DISABILITIES. AGAIN THIS
BILL WOULD BE VERY GOOD FOR ALL
VOTERS ESPECIALLY VOTERS WITH
DISABILITIES AND CREWS UP THE
VOTING AND CREWS WORKED FOR ALL.
THANK YOU TO THE AUTHOR THANK
YOU TO THE CHAIR AND THANK YOU
TO ALL THE MEMBERS. OF THIS
COMMITTEE PLEASE WELL I ON THIS

RECIPIENTS WOULD FLOOD THE

NEUTRALIZATION BY
ILLEGITIMATELY CAST BALLOTS AND
THE SECRETARY OF STATE ISSUE
VERY HIGHLY PUBLICIZED
REASSURANCES. CITING THE
STATE'S CARDS SUCH AS
WATERMARKING A BALLOT IN
VIGOROUS SIGNATURE VERIFICATION
AFTER BUT THEN ON SEPTEMBER
EIGHTEENTH TWENTY TWENTY AFFECT
STATE HANDED DOWN EMERGENCY
REGULATIONS FOR THE NOVEMBER
ELECTION HAVING TO DO WITH
PROCESSING A VOTE BY MAIL
BALLOT. AND CONTRARY TO THE
STATE GUARDS PROMISED TO THE
PUBLIC THE EMERGENCY
REGULATIONS REQUIRED ACCEPTANCE
OF NO CARD BALANCE. MULTIPLE
BALLOTS STUFFED INTO A SINGLE
ENVELOPE AND THEY ALSO PROVIDED
LOOPHOLES FOR VIRTUALLY ALL
SIGNATURES TO BE ACCEPTED
MAKING EFFORT THAT LEGITIMATE
SIGNATURE VERIFICATION- MAYOR
SAM OF THESE REGULATIONS DID
NOT PROTECT LEGITIMATE BALLOTS
BUT RATHER THE ILLEGITIMATE
ONE. LAWFUL BALLOTS ALREADY
ENJOY SIGNIFICANT PROTECTION
WHEN CURRENT LAW IS APPLIED
ELECTIONS CODE THREE THOUSAND
MANDATE THAT VOTE BY MAIL
SIGNATURES BE LIBERALLY
CONSTRUED IN FAVOR OF THE VOTER
LIST PROVIDE GENEROUSLY WAY FOR
VOTER ERROR. CURRENT CALIFORNIA
LAW ALSO MANDATES THAT NO
SIGNATURE AND THEREFORE IF THE
COMPANY BALLOT CAN BE REJECTED
WITHOUT FIRST CONTACTING THE
VOTER AND OFFERING AN
OPPORTUNITY TO SECURE THE
SIGNATURE AND WE WOULD SUPPORT
EXPANSION OF THE WAY IN WHICH
THOSE VOTERS ARE CONTACTED. BUT
THE CURING PROCESS PROTECT
VOTERS WHOSE SIGNATURE HAS
GENUINELY CHANGED ANSWERED BACK
WHO FIND CARELESSLY AS A RESULT
IN THE CURRENT SAYS THE
IMPORTANCE OF PROVIDING
SIGNATURE BUT IT ALSO COULD
ALLEGE THE FISH LIVE. OR
SCRUTINY WITHOUT OF DISTANT
FRANCHISING LEGITIMATE VOTERS
ARE STRICT AND UNIFICATION OF
SIGNATURE. MATCHES VITAL TO
ALLEGE AND- BECAUSE ABOUT FIVE
VOTERS HAVE THE PER. OF THE

SIGNIFICAN RESPONSIBILITIES TO
REGISTRATION AND THE STAFF BUT
IT I DID. IT IS CLEAR I THINK
AS YOU'VE MADE. A BY REMARKS
WERE NOT ABDICATING ANY
RESPONSIBILITY WERE SIMPLY
CLARIFYING AND DELEGATES. YES
AND AGAIN INCREASING THAT
TRANSPARENCY INCREASING THE
MODES OF COMMUNICATION THINK
THAT LIMITING THE FRICTION BY
PROVIDING THE PREPAID. ENVELOPE
IN TERMS OF- THAT THAT
CHALLENGE PROCESS SO REALLY
ABOUT TRANSPARENCY AND I TRYING
TO ELIMINATE. THE FRICTION AND
THEN GREATLY THE ASSUMPTION OF
THE CITRUS CORRECT AND THEN IF
THERE IS REASON TO CHALLENGE IT
THANK GOD WE CREATE THAT THAT
TRANSPARENCY AND ELIMINATE THAT
FRICTION. IN THAT COMMUNICATION
WITH THE VOTERS. THANK YOU MR.
THANK YOU SENATOR NEWMAN CENTER
NIELSEN. THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIRMAN I'M GOING TO OPPOSED.
THE BILL OVER MANY YEARS WE
HAVE SEEN MANY MANY ATTEMPTS TO
DIMINISH THE VALIDITY OF THE
VOTER ID VERIFICATION. THIS IS
ANOTHER ONE THE SIGNATURE IS
NOT ALL THAT DIFFICULT TO
CONTEND WITH. AND I REJECT
THOSE WHO CHARGE THAT THOSE WHO
OPPOSE THESE KIND OF IDEAS ARE
DOING VOTER SUPPRESSION NOT
ABSOLUTELY REJECT THAT AND I'M
GLAD TO SEE THAT THERE ARE
NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN CALIFORNIA
WHO ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THIS
PARTICULAR ISSUE THE BALLOT
INTEGRITY AND IT DOES HAVE ITS
BEARING ON ELECTIONS. THANK YOU
SENATOR NIELSEN SENATOR
HERTZBERG. YEAH I WAS GONNA ASK
YOU A QUESTION BUT IT. I JUST
WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS IN
THE LARGER CONTEXT OF WHAT THE
GOVERNMENT DOES IN
RELATIONSHIP. TO VALIDATING
SIGNATURES NOW IT YEAH MY
CORRECT TO ASSUME THAT I THINK
I'M CORRECT FROM MY
UNDERSTANDING- CENTER BECKER
THAT WHEN YOU SIGN YOUR SIGNING
INTO THE PENALTY OF PERJURY
CORRECT YES OKAY SO WHEN YOU
SIGN YOUR DRIVER'S LICENSE YOU
SIDE OF THE PENALTY O PERJURY
THAT'S THE LAW. WHEN YOU SIGNED
A DECLARATION BEFORE COURT YOU
SIDE UNDER THE PENALTY OF
PERJURY WHEN YOU SIGN EVERY
SINGLE DOCUMENT EXCEPT FOR
RECORDED DOCUMENT IN THE
REGISTRAR RECORDER'S DOCUMENT
THE TRANSFERS. TITLE TO
PROPERTY IT'S A SIGNATURE. AND
NOW THE QUESTION BECOMES. WHEN
YOU MAKE SUCH A STATEMENT WHICH
HAS CAUSED HUGE CONSEQUENCES TO
YOUR LIFE RIGHT IN EVERY
CONTEXT OF EVERY DOCUMENT IF
YOU'RE- TRYING TO APPLY FOR ANY
GOVERNMENT SERVICE YOU MAKE ANY
REPRESENTATION BUT FOR
RECORDING. YOU HAVE A SIGNATURE
SO THEN THE QUESTION BECOMES
AYE YOUR DRIVER'S LICENSE OR ON
THE- ANY OTHER APPLICATION FOR
ANYTHING ELSE YOU APPLY FOR
YOUR BUSINESS LICENSE ME IS A
LAWYER GOING TO APPLY TO. A
LICENSE TO PRACTICE LAW ORDERS
AND ARCHITECT. DOES IT MEAN
THAT THAT THEN AS A STANDARD
THE QUESTION IS WHAT'S THE
STANDARD. IN THE LAW WE'VE GOT
BASIC STANDARDS IF YOU'RE GOING
TO CONVICT SOMEBODY. OF MURDER
YOU GOT IT YOU KNOW YOU GOTTA
BE ABLE DO IT BEYOND A
REASONABLE DOUBT THE QUESTION
IS. THE QUESTION IS THE
STANDARD HERE. IS BEYOND A
REASONABLE DOUBT IS THE TO ME
THE BIGGER ISSUE AS WE EXAMINE
THIS WHETHER IT'S IN THE
ELECTION CONTEXT OR- ANY OTHER
KIND OF CONTEXT IN WHICH YOU
WERE ENGAGED. YOU ARE SIGNING
THE PENALTY OF PERJURY SO
THERE'S CONSEQUENCES AND THEN
THE QUESTION NOW IS WHO THE
VALIDATOR WHO LOOKS AT THE
SIGNATURE. THEY HAVE A STANDARD
OF BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT
THE QUESTION THAT I LOOK AT IN
THIS MEASURE. IS AS A SOCIETY
WHAT STANDARDS DO WE USE. UNDER
THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES WHETHER
IT'S A CRIMINAL PROCEEDING OR
CIVIL PROCEEDING. BEYOND A
REASONABLE DOUBT SUBSTANDARD
BUT FOR CERTAIN VERY UNIQUE
FELONIES. WHEN YOU'RE
CONVICTING SOMEBODY SO TO ME.
NO DIFFERENCE THAN CODIFYING
WHAT IS THE UNDERLYING
JURISPRUDENTIAL BASIS FOR
EVERYTHING THAT WE DO AND IF
YOU WERE SOMEBODY VIOLATES THE
LAW IT WANTS TO SUFFER THE
CONSEQUENCES SO BE IT SO. WHEN
I LOOK AT THAT LARGER STANDARD
APOLOGIES FOR GOING ALONG WITH
IT JUST HITS ME LIKE A BRICK IN
TERMS OF LOOKING AT ALL OF THE
OTHER AREAS OF THE LAW IN WHICH
PEOPLE ARE INTERFACING WITH
THEIR GOVERNMENT. THIS JUST
SIMPLY SETS A STANDARD
CONSISTENT WITH. THAT
JURISPRUDENTIAL PRACTICE SO I
JUST WANTED TO UNLESS YOU THINK
I'M WRONG IN TERMS OF DOING
MORE HOMEWORK ON THIS. I LOOK
AT THIS AND I DON'T SEE
ANYTHING. OTHER THAN THAT IT
AND WHY SHOULD THE STANDARD BE
ANYTHING DIFFERENT THAN ANY
OTHER STANDARD ESPECIALLY THE
CRIMINAL CONTEXT ANOTHER
CONTEXT. PLEASE ONE AT IT
UNLESS YOU THINK I'M WRONG-
CENTER BECKER I JUST WANT TO
SHARE THOSE THOSE THINKING THAT
THINKING HERE. YES NO I
APPRECIATE THOSE COMMENTS AND
AGREE WITH THEM AND I
APPRECIATE THAT CENTER
HERTZBERG. IS THERE A NIELSEN I
APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS AS
WELL- YOU KNOW WOULD KNOWN AS
ALLEGING VOTER SUPPRESSION IN
THOSE. BUT WHAT WE DISEASE WIDE
VARIATION BETWEEN THE COUNTIES
AND THAT'S BECAUSE IT WAS
REALLY UNCLEAR. AND THIS IS ALL
RELATIVELY NEW ESPECIALLY IN
TERMS OF THE DRAMATIC INCREASE.
IN MAIL IN BALLOTS SO I DO
APPRECIATE YOUR CONCERN
APPRECIATE THE CONCERNS RAISED-
BUT AGAIN THIS IS ALL ABOUT
REALLY INCREASING TRANSPARENCY
YES WE DO CHANGE THE
PRESUMPTION. AND CHANGE THAT
FROM MATCH TO COMPARE BUT IT'S
REALLY NOT INCREASING THAT
COMMUNICATION BETWEEN. THE
REGISTRAR AND THE INDIVIDUAL.
THEN PACKER THANK YOU. YOUR
WORK ON THIS LEGISLATION- WITH
MY STAFF AND WITH ME
APPRECIATED THE CONVERSATIONS
THAT WE HAD. AND I- I
APPRECIATE THE GOAL THAT YOU'VE
ESTABLISHED IN THIS BILL WE
WANT EVERY VOTE TO COUNT AT THE
END OF THE DAY THAT'S REALLY
WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO ENSURE. A
HAPPENS AND I APPRECIATE THE
WORK FROM THE STUDENTS AT
STANFORD. AND LOOKING AT OUR
ELECTIONS IN THE PAST TO. SEE
WHETHER THAT'S HAPPENING AT AND
THAT'S THAT THAT'S BEEN THE
SPARK FOR. YOU WORK IN THIS
AREA. I KNOW THAT. YOU KNOW
WHEN I SIGNED MY DRIVER'S
LICENSE YOU KNOW. FIVE YEARS
AGO TEN YEARS AGO TWENTY YEARS
AGO OR VOTER REGISTRATION
APPLICATION THAT MY SIGNATURE
IS NOT THE SAME. AND THAT A LOT
OF US IN OUR DAILY LIFE. YOU
KNOW GET REMEMBER THOSE CURSE
OF COURSES AND SO WE'RE REALLY
CAREFUL ABOUT THOSE **** IN
THOSE JEEZ AND DISEASE IN MY
CASE- BUT CERTAINLY AS THOSE
LESSONS OF FATE IN OUR MEMORY.
PERHAPS WEEK WE MOVE A LITTLE
FASTER AND WRITING OUR NAME
AND- IT POSES CHALLENGES
BECAUSE THIS IS A HUMAN
INTERPRETATION. THIS ISN'T A
MACHINE INTERPRETATION AND
ALTHOUGH I UNDERSTAND SOME OF
THEM ARE USED TO. DO A QUICK
SCREEN ON SOME OF THE STUFF-
IT'S A IT'S A PERSON AND SO IT
IS IN IT BUT IT YOU KNOW AND
EVERY PERSON IN EVERY COUNTY
MIGHT. LOOK AT SOMETHING A
LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY AND SO I
CERTAINLY APPRECIATE WHERE
YOU'RE GOING WITH US AND I
THINK THE EMERGENCY REGULATIONS
THAT WERE ISSUED. BY THE
SECRETARY OF STATE. A MERE MUCH
OF WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO DO IN
THIS BILL. AND I THINK UP WITH
THE IDEA THAT WE WANT EVERY
VOTE TO COUNT AND THAT REALLY
HAS TO BE AT. A HIGHER.
THRESHOLD TO ELIMINATE
SOMEONE'S VOICE THAN THEIR
VOTE. I DO WANT TO ASK YOU
THOUGH TO SPEAK TO THIS ISSUE
OF BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT-
IT'S A STANDARD THAT- CAN BE
SUBJECT TO INTERPRETATION AND
SO CAN YOU SPEAK TO. WHAT YOU
THINK THAT MEANS AND WHAT THAT
COMMUNICATES TO OUR FIFTY EIGHT
COUNTY REGISTRARS. YES WELL I
APPRECIATE THAT AND AGAIN I
APPRECIATE. IT YOU BET YOUR
GLAZER AND YOUR STAFF FOR
WORKING- ON THEM THIS TO THIS
BILL- WITH US. IN PARTICULARLY
ON THIS APPOINTED AS I MENTION
OPENING STATEMENT. I WILL WORK
CONTINUE TO WORK WITH YOUR
STAFF PARTICULARLY ON THIS
POINT TO MAKE SURE. THAT IS
CLEAR. ON THAT AGAIN TO US
IT'S- WERE. YOU KNOW AGAIN IT'S
ABOUT TRANSPARENCY RUSSIA
CHANGING PRESUMPTION. THAT NONE
FROM THE PRESUMPTION THAT IT'S
REALLY INVALID TO PRESUMPTION
OF THE SIGNATURES VALID. AND
FOR THAT THEN TO FEEL LIKE
BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT THAT-
THAT- THAT IT'S INVALID IN THAT
PROCESS THEN. OF CHALLENGING
THE SIGNATURE SO. THAT'S REALLY
WHAT IT'S ABOUT TO US IS KIND
OF CRAZY THAT LARGER THRESHOLD.
AND THIS IS THE PENLEE
PERJURIOUS CENTER HERTZBERG.
SAID ARE THAT ALL THAT ALREADY
APPLIES. SO THIS IS REALLY
ABOUT BEGIN CHANGING THAT THAT
PRESUMPTION. AND WE'RE HAPPY TO
CONTINUE TO WORK WITH YOUR
TEAM- FOR ANY CLARIFICATIONS ON
US. NOT CREATE THAT TO SENATOR
BECKER I DO THINK THAT THE-
STANDARDS THAT THE- EMERGENCY
ORDER. CREATED WHAT WE'RE A
LITTLE BIT MORE SPECIFIC MMHM-
IN TERMS OF DETERMINING THAT A
SIGNATURE- WAS IT WAS VALID. I
THINK THE PRESUMPTION OF COURSE
WOULD BE THERE AS WELL. SO I
LOOK FORWARD TO THAT THAT THAT
CONVERSATION AS THE BILL. GOES
FORWARD I WOULD NOTE THAT. WHEN
YOU LOOK AT- THIS IS THE
IMPORTANT BILL DON'T
MISUNDERSTAND ME BUT WHEN YOU
LOOK AT THE CONTEXT OF ALL
THOSE PEOPLE WHO VOTED IN. OUR
ELECTIONS. THAT THE PERCENTAGE
THAT WE'RE TRYING TO GET TO. IS
A FRACTION- A HALF OF ONE
PERCENT. NO THAT'S NOT
INSIGNIFICANT IT'S A LOT OF
PEOPLE AND SO WE'RE TRYING TO
DO EVEN BETTER WHICH IS WHAT
THE GOAL OF YOUR BILL AS- BUT I
WOULD PUT IN CONTEXT THAT- THIS
IS NOT. ABOUT TO TAKE OVER OF
ELECTIONS OR WHATEVER ANYONE
WANTS TO CHARACTERIZE SOMEHOW.
THE ACTIONS OF THIS BILL- MIGHT
HAVE ANY ANY IMPACT- AND IN
DOING SO WITHOUT AYE I'LL SEE
IF THERE'S ANY OTHER COMMITTEE
COMMENTS SENATOR NIELSEN.
THURMOND THANK YOU FOR THAT TO
THE CONCERNED ABOUT BEYOND A
REASONABLE DOUBT I'M VERY
FAMILIAR WITH THAT THRESHOLD.
IT CERTAINLY IS APPLICABLE TO
CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR THERE IS A
LIBERTY INTEREST AT STAKE. BUT
IN THE CASE OF THESE.
INCIDENCES HERE OF SIGNATURES.
I DOUBT THERE ARE VERY MANY
PROSECUTIONS THAT ANY SECTOR
STAYS EVER FORWARDED TO AN
ATTORNEY GENERAL I'D LIKE TO
KNOW TE NUMBERS I'M SURE THERE
ARE MINUSCULE. AND THAT AND
THAT'S WHY I THINK THIS GOES A
BIT FAR SO I'D- APPRECIATE THE
AUTHORSHIP GOOD ACCEPTED
PHILLIES TAKE A LOOK AT THAT
VERY IMPORTANT VERY. OF BEYOND
A REASONABLE DOUBT. THE
CONSEQUENCES ARE VERY DIFFERENT
TO- FOR THAT TYPE OF BEHAVIOR
THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH. VERY
GOOD AT COLLEAGUES ANYTHING
FURTHER I'M GONNA ASK THE
AUTHOR TO A CLOSE ON HIS BILL.
OKAY CENTER BACKER THANK YOU
APPRECIATE THE ROBUST

BACK TO THE COMMITTEE FOR
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS. MEMBERS
SAID SENATOR NIELSEN CENTER
NEWMAN. FEDERICO SEN. MISTER
CHAIRMAN THIS IS NOT SUFFICIENT
FOR ME TO BE DISPOSED OF OR- IN
OPPOSITION BUT IT IS IMPORTANT
TO NOTE. THERE'S A DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN PAROLED AND DISCHARGED
FROM PAROLE. THE SENTENCE IS
NOT EXTINGUISHED IN MOST CASES
UNTIL ONE IS DISCHARGED
FORMALLY DISCHARGE I WOULD
SUGGEST THE AUTHOR CONSIDERS IT
MOVES ALONG ADDING THE WORD
DISCHARGED FROM PAROLE THAT
MEANS THEIR DEBT TO SOCIETY HAS
BEEN COMPLETELY EXTINGUISHED
BUT PAROLE DOESN'T NECESSARILY
MEAN THAT. THANK YOU CENTER
NIELSEN SENATOR NEWMAN. AND
THINK WITH YOUR HEAD I DON'T
SOMETHING IS DONE RIGHT I DO
HAVE A QUESTION CURIOUS SO THIS
BILL INCLUDES BOTH PROVISIONS
FOR- MILITARY VOTERS BUT ALSO-
BUT PROVISIONS ON- PAROLEES
DISCHARGE CERTAIN SEEMINGLY ODD
PAIRING HOW IS IT THAT BOTH OF
THESE ELEMENTS ON THE SAME BILL
SURE SURE THE REASON I CAME TO
US BECAUSE- THEY WERE- THEY
BOTH INVOLVE CHANGES TO THE
VOTER REGISTRATION PROCESS AND
REGIONAL WAS. CONCEIVED OR BOTH
CONDITION AROUND THE
CONDITIONAL VOTER ON THAT PIECE
AND- AS WE PROCEEDED ALONG-
THEY WERE BOTH STILL INVOLVE
CHANGES TO THE VOTER
REGISTRATION PROCESS NOT
EXACTLY BOTH CONDITIONAL VOTER
PIECE BUT WE DECIDED TO KEEP
THEM TOGETHER. ALL RIGHT THANK
YOU AGAIN IT APPEARS THAT YOU
HAVE IN SUPPORT MANY THE SAME
FOLKS WHO OPPOSE LAST BILL SO I
COMMEND. YOU ON YOUR BI
PARTISANSHIP. THANK YOU FOR. HI
DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER. THIS
HURTS. SENATOR NEWMAN IF THAT'S
THE CASE SHOULD WE OPPOSE THIS
BILL IT'S YOU'LL LINCOLN'S
STORY YOU KNOW THE WHOLE STORY.
IT WAS SHOULD WE OPPOSE THIS
BILL HAS THAT YOU GET THE SAME
PEOPLE ON THE FLIP SIDE OF THE
DEAL I DON'T THINK IT'S SOME TO
BE COMMENDED FOR I THINK IT'S
WHICH PROBABLY OPPOSE THIS
MEASURE. DON'T YOU THINK SO.
AND SENATOR OUT LEYVA THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIR QUICK QUESTION OF
THE AUTHOR DID I READ THAT THE-
CDCR HOUSE REPORT EACH WEEK
ABOUT THE GIVE US AN UPDATE IS
THAT CORRECT I JUST WANT TO
SAID IF THAT'S TRUE I THINK

BEFORE WE CHECK BACK IN AND
FOLKS DON'T- DON'T NECESSARILY
ACCESS THE RIGHTS YES THIS IS A
SINGLE WEEKLY FLOW OF
INFORMATION THAT'S GREAT THANK
YOU VERY MUCH- CENTER- DECKER I
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS

POLITICAL CHAOS. SB ONE OH
THREE PROVIDES FOR A STATE
ADMINISTERED. PLEDGE OF
FAITHFULNESS FROM ELECTORS. ANY
ATTEMPT BY ELECTRIC TO SUBMIT A
VOTE IN VIOLATION OF THAT
PLEDGE WELL THEN EFFECTIVELY
CONSTITUTE RESIGNATION FROM THE
OFFICE OF ELECTOR WITH THIS
BILL CALIFORNIA WILL JOIN
THIRTY OTHER STATES THAT HAVE
TAKEN THE ACTION TO DISCOURAGE
OR FORBID FAITHLESS ELECTORAL
VOTES. HERE TESTIFIED SUPPORT
IS COMMISSIONER MARTY CAR
LEGISLATIVE LIAISON FOR
CALIFORNIA COMMISSION ON
UNIFORM STATE LAWS. THANK YOU
CENTER DIED AND WE WELCOME THE
MISTER CAR. TO OUR COMMITTEE
HEARING OPERATOR IF YOU WOULD
OPEN UP THE LINE FOR MARTY
CARLOS WE GET HERE STASHED
MONEY. GOOD MORNING CHAIRMAN
GLAZER GOOD MORNING SENATORS
CAN HEAR ME WE CAN'T HEAR YOU
THANK YOU PLEASE PROCEED. THANK
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR GIVING
ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK
WITH YOU TODAY ABOUT SENATOR
DODD SB ONE OF THREE
CALIFORNIA'S VERSION OF THE
UNIFORM FAITHFUL PRESIDENTIAL
ELECTORS ACT I'VE BEEN A MEMBER
OF THE CALIFORNIA COMMISSION ON
UNIFORM STATE LAWS FOR OVER A
DECADE IN THAT TIME I'VE SERVED
AS CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR OF THE
C. C. U. S. L. AND I'M
CURRENTLY CALIFORNIA'S
LEGISLATIVE LIAISON TO THE
NATIONAL UNIFORM LAW
COMMSSION. I WILL NOTE THAT
THE CUMBERSOME NAME OF THIS ACT
IS THE U. L. C.'S FAULT IT IS
NOT SENATOR GODSWILL. FOR
ALMOST A HUNDRED THIRTY YEARS
THE YOU'LL SEE HAS PROVIDED
STATES WITH NONPARTISAN WELL
CONCEIVED AND WELL DRAFTED
LEGISLATION. THAT BRINGS
CLARITY AND STABILITY TO
CRITICAL AREAS OF STATE
STATUTORY LAW. SOME EXAMPLES
ENACTED IN CALIFORNIA- THE
UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE UNIFORM
VOIDABLE TRANSACTIONS ACT. AND
SENATOR DODD'S UNIFORM
RECOGNITION AND ENFORCEMENT OF
CANADIAN DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
PROTECTION ORDERS ACT. FROM TWO
THOUSAND FIFTEEN. SB ONE OH
THREE UNIFORMED PEOPLE
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS ACT
ADDRESSED THE POTENTIAL PROBLEM
THAT HAS LONG BEEN RECOGNIZED
IN CALIFORNIA LAW. IT PROVIDES
A FAR BETTER SOLUTION THAN OUR
EXISTING STATUTE. FOR MANY
YEARS CALIFORNIA LAW IS HELD
THAT A PRESIDENTIAL ELECTOR
VOTES CONTRARY TO HIS OR HR
COMMITMENT CAN BE FINED OR EVEN
IMPRISONED. THIS IS ALL WELL
AND GOOD BUT OUR EXISTING LAW
DOES NOTHING TO INVALIDATE THE
FACELESS VOTE. SO I UNDER
EXISTING LAW THE VOTE THAT THE
FAITHLESS ELECTORS WILL STAND
IN THE WILL OF THE VOTERS WE
FRUSTRATED. THE INFORMATICA
EMBODIED IN SB ONE OF THREE
CREATES A MECHANISM THAT
PRETENSE OF FACELESS VOTE FROM
COUNTING REPLACES THE FAITHLESS
ELECTOR. THIS THIS IS SIMPLE
COMMON SENSE AND IN TWENTY
TWENTY. THE SUPREME COURT CASE
OF COLORADO B. BALK AT UNITED
STATES SUPREME COURT FOUND THAT
SUCH A MECHANISM IS
CONSTITUTIONAL. SIX STATES HAVE
ALREADY ADOPTED THE UNIFORM ACT
AND FOURTEEN OTHERS HAD THEIR
OWN VERY SIMILAR RULES. FEW
THINGS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN
A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE IN A
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION SO I URGE
YOU TO PASS THE STREET PORT
IMPROVEMENTS FOR EXISTING
CALIFORNIA LAW TO THIS
COMMITTEE. ANYONE HAS A
QUESTION I'LL BE HAPPY TO DO MY
BEST TO ANSWER IT. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH THANK YOU VERY MUCH

LISTENING ABOUT SPEAKING TO A
VOTER REGARDING THE BALLOT OR
PASSING OUT LECTIONARY
INFORMATION- ADDITIONALLY WILL
CLARIFY THE MEANING OF THE
UNOFFICIAL BALLOT BOX. TO
INCLUDE. UNAUTHORIZED BELT
BOXES A THE OFFICE. AS OF YOU
KNOW THERE WAS AN ISSUE IN THIS
PAST ELECTION WITH. A BALLOT
BOXES. BEING DESIGNATED AS
OFFICIAL. AND THEY JUST SEEM TO
BE FILING CABINETS UP POSITION
OUTSIDE OF DEIR AZ VENUES- WE
ALSO ACCEPT THE MEMBERS
CONCERNING TECHNICAL HANGES.
THE BILL BEFORE YOU SB THIRTY
FIVE WILL PRESERVE ORDER AND
ACCESS THE BALLOT BOX BY
EXPANDING THE AREA INSIDE WHICH
ELECTION HEARING ACTIVITIES MAY
NOT TAKE PLACE IN BY CLARIFYING
THE VOTERS WHO CAST VOTE BY
MAIL BALLOTS DROP BOXES HAVE
THE SAME PROTECTIONS AS THOSE
WHO VOTED SATELLITE LOCATIONS.
UP WE EXPAND THE- AREA ALEXION
ACTIVITIES AND VOTER
INTIMIDATION EFFORTS MAY NOT
TAKE PLACE TO TWO HUNDRED FEET
FROM THE ENTRANCE TO A PLACE
WHERE VOTING IS A CURRENT SO
FOR EXAMPLE. IF THE ACTUAL-
CASTING OF BALLOTS IS INSIDE OF
THE BUILDING BUT MAY BE A
DISTANCE AWAY FROM THE DOOR
THAT THE DISTANCE MEASURED IS
FROM THE DOOR NOT FROM THE
ACTUAL FOR EXAMPLE PULLING BOTH.
THESE THESE ISSUES GROW OUT OF
VOTER INTIMIDATION HARASSMENT
SO FOR EXAMPLE- IN NEVADA
NEVADA CITY NEVADA COUNTY END
OF IT THE MEMBER POLICE
RECEIVED COMPLAINTS ABOUT
ELECTION DURING ACTIVITIES
BLOCKING ACCESS TO A VOTING

SENATOR- BURKE AND
DISTINGUISHED COMMITTEE MEMBERS
FOR INVITING ME TO SPEAK THIS
MORNING MY NAME IS NATALIE A
DONNA AND I REPRESENT NEVADA
COUNTY ELECTIONS WHICH SUPPORT
SB THIRTY FIVE. NEVADA COUNTY
IS ONE OF FIFTEEN COUNTY THAT
ADMINISTERS ELECTIONS UNDER THE
VOTERS CHOICE ACT UNDER THE BCA
WE OFFER SEVERAL OPTIONS FOR
RETURNING A VOTED BALLOT
INCLUDING AN OFFICIAL DROPBOX.
IN ABOUT A COUNTY APPROXIMATELY
50% OF RETURN BALLOTS FROM THE
NOVEMBER TWENTY TWENTY ELECTION
WILL RETURN TO BE A DROP BOX.
SB THIRTY FIVE PROVIDES MUCH
NEEDED CLARITY AND AFORDS DROP
BOXES ROBUST PROTECTIONS
AGAINST ELECTIONEERING IT ALSO
MAKES CLEAR THAT ELECTIONS
OFFICIALS ESTABLISHED IN
CLARKSON'S AND NO ONE ELSE.
DURING THE VOTING PERIOD LAST
YEAR I WITNESSED A SATURDAY
POLITICAL RALLY OF AROUND THREE
HUNDRED TRUMP SUPPORTERS
GATHERED IN THE COUNTY PARKING
LOT. PARTICIPANTS BLOCK ACCESS
TO THE DROP BOX IN OUR PARKING
LOT WHICH HAS ENTRANCES OUTSIDE
OF THE CURRENT ONE HUNDRED FOOT
ELECTIONEERING BUFFER ZONES.
ALL PARTICIPANTS HAVE SOME FORM
OF PROHIBITED ELECTION HEARING
SUCH AS LARGE FLAG WITH THE
CANDIDATE'S NAME AND LIKENESS
DECORATING NEARLY EVERY CAR. I
HADN'T TEACHER TENDER AND
AMPLIFIED POLITICAL SPEECH THAT
I COULD HEAR FROM THE SECOND
FLOOR OF MY OFFICE. UPSET
VOTERS CALLED US SAYING THAT
THEY COULDN'T ACCESS THE DROP
BOX OR SELF INTIMIDATED
APPROACHING THE DROP BOX WHILE
THE RALLY WAS TAKING PLACE. ALL
BOATERS OUGHT TO BE ABLE TO
DROP OFF THEIR VOTE BY MAIL
BALLOT IN A CALM NONPARTISAN
ENVIRONMENT. VOTER SHOULD NEVER
FEEL INTIMIDATED WHEN CATCHING
THE BALLOT A BALLOT AND SHOULD
NOT BE FORCED TO FIND ANOTHER
LOCATION TO VOTE. SB THIRTY
FIVE WILL HELP BY EXTENDING THE
NO ELECTION HEARING DOCTORS
DON'T FROM ONE HUNDRED TO TWO
HUNDRED FEET. PROVIDING
STRONGER VOTER ACCESS AND
PROTECTION TO ALL OF OUR TOP
OPTION. SB THIRTY FIVE HELPS
PROTECT MY OFFICE PROTECT ALL
OF OUR VOTERS FROM
INTIMIDATION. I ENCOURAGE YOU
ALL TO CONSIDER VOTING IN FAVOR
OF SB THIRTY FIVE THANK YOU.

THIRTY FIVE ON BEHALF OF THAT
AND ORANGE COUNTY. EMPLOYEES
ASSOCIATION THIS BILL WILL
BRING MUCH NEEDED CLARITY AND
PROTECTIONS TO VOTERS AND
ELECTION WORKERS FOLLOWING THE
TWENTY TWENTY AFFECTION THE
ORANGE COUNTY EMPLOYEES
ASSOCIATION CONVENED A MEETING
WITH SENATOR UMBERG WHERE WE
REVIEWED HOW THE ELECTION WENT
AND FLAGGED POTENTIAL ISSUES WE
SAW ON THE FIELD. WE DISCUSS
WITH THEM SENATOR- BURKE SOME
CONFUSION THAT OCCURRED AT THE
HONDA CENTER WHICH SERVED AS A
VOTE TENER SUPERSITE IN ORANGE
COUNTY. THE ISSUE OF AFFECTION
BACKER NEEDED CLARITY THERE IS
A LOCAL CANDIDATE THAT WAS
UNCLEAR ABOUT ELECTION NEARING
AND INTERPRETED THE LAW AS
MEANING OVER ONE HUNDRED FEET
FROM THE ENTIRE VENUE NOT FROM
THE ENTRANCE TO THE BUILDING
ROOM. AND ADDITION TO ROUTE
ORANGE COUNTY BEING COUNTERED
ISSUES AROUND UNAUTHORIZED
BALLOT DROP BOXES POSING AS
OFFICIAL AND EVEN A CAMPAIGN
OFFICE THAT CLAIM TO BE AN
OFFICIAL POLLING PLACE. I FROM
BOTH GENDERS WE ALSO WITNESSED
ISSUES WITH LONG LINES IT IS
SOCIAL DISTANCING PROTOCOLS
WHERE VOTERS WERE SUBJECT TO
ELECTION HEARING JUST BECAUSE
THEY WERE IN LINES THAT
EXTENDED BEYOND THE HUNDRED
FOOT BUFFER. I BELIEVE THAT
CLARITY AND LONG AND ADDED
PROTECTION WILL MAKE THE VOTING
EXPERIENCE BETTER FOR BOTH
VOTERS ELECTION WORKERS AND
POLL WORKERS IN CALIFORNIA

BE INDICATIVE OF MISINFORMATION
CONCERNING VOTING IN GENERAL
AND HOW IT UNDERMINES OUR
PROCESS OR SYSTEM. AND
DEMOCRACY I CAME TO PUBLIC
