Francine Busby, the Democratic candidate running in the 50th CD special election against moderate GOPer Brian Bilbray, was speaking at the Joclyn Senior Center. After she spoke, during "Q&A" she was asked by a man in the audience (in Spanish):
"I want to help, but I don’t have papers."
Busby responded: "Everybody can help, yeah, absolutely…you can all help. You don’t need papers for voting, you don’t need to be a registered voter to help."

“Survey USA” has published a new Poll for San Diego TV station KGTV.
It shows Bilbray leading Busby 47% to 45% BEFORE the “you don’t
need papers” bombshell hit yesterday. Survey size: 448 likely voters.
The cross-tabs (link below) show Bilbray far ahead among voters over
age 65, with Busby’s best segment being those under age 35. I think
we all know the respective turnout history of those two age groups !
