Up to 500K Californians may be blocked from voting

Nearly half a million California voters may be unable to participate in the state’s presidential primaries on June 7 due to confusion in the voter registration process Intending to register as independents, they may have accidentally registered with the ultra-conservative American Independent Party (AIP) which opposes abortion rights and same-sex marriage, and calls for building a wall along the U.S. border Many were confused by the term “independent” in the party’s name, thinking they registered as independent voters
