WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN THE GOVERNMENT FUCKS YOU BY MISTAKE ?

Christina Pascucci

 

Christina Pascucci is running for the U. S. Senate seat from the formerly great state of California left vacant by the death of DiFi.  The seat is being sought by several people, including one Republican who even has an outside chance.  The big fight, however, will be within the Democrat-Socialist party.  Herein lies the rub.

Ms. Pascucci received a "No Ballot Designation" identifier on both the March 5 primary ballot and on the voter guide that accompanies the ballot.  She should have received the designation "Local Television Journalist" according to an official statement issued on Friday by the California Secretary of State's Office.  They screwed the pooch.  They admit they screwed the pooch.  It is "too late" to correct the printing.  

The SecState is calling it an "administrative error."  Was it really?  This "error" moves her from a dark horse to a lost cause.  Early voting starts in one week for the March primary.  The SecState is declining to reprint the material.  She is also declining to use voter email blasts to issue a correction.  

So, what do you do?  The Government fucked Pascucci.  They admit they fucked Pascucci.  They assert it is "too hard and too expensive" to make a correction.  Right now, this is such an EGREGIOUS error, that people who are in the know are expressing the notion that it is for all practical purposes impossible that this happened by accident and that somebody somewhere in the chain decided that they did not want Pascucci to have even a modest chance of getting the gig by burying her at the bottom of the pile.
