Despite Mike Garcia Endorser and the GOP Mayor Of Lancaster Calling For A “Fix Immediately” For Greater Local Ballot Access
President Trump and House Republicans know that the more Californians who have access to the ballot, the worse their chances are.
That is why on the weekend before the election Trump and House Republicans are falsely crying foul, claiming the special election is being stolen “in plain sight” and that votes from Californians “must not count.”
The problem for them is that the Republican Mayor of Lancaster is not only a Mike Garcia supporter, BUT also welcomed Trump to Southern California earlier this year, R. Rex Parris has called for an immediate fix to the voter access issue in his town of Lancaster, saying:
“This is something the county should fix immediately. There should not be even the appearance of affecting the outcome by limiting the ability to vote. I want Mike to win […] but I don’t want to ‘jimmy’ the election.”
Statement from DCCC Spokesperson, Andy Orellana:
“Every American and Californian has the Constitutional right as a citizen to cast their ballot and have it counted. Expanding voting access is NOT stealing an election, contrary to what Republicans in Washington may believe. Instead of undermining an election at the 11th hour they should follow the lead of the Republican Mayor of Lancaster who is supporting their candidate and called for this voting center to be opened.”
This all comes as Mike Garcia has been falsely claiming that 10-15 percent of Vote-By Mail votes are left uncounted and that the special election would, “magnify or potentially open up the opportunity for more fraud than already existed” and saying he “has very low confidence in a truly high-integrity election process.”
All the wild and false claims of election fraud in California from Garcia and Trump have been proven time and again to be exactly that patently false.
California’s Voting Centers allow for a variety of options for California voters who may need in person voting including: if they lost their absentee ballot, moved residencies, need disability or language accommodations, want to change their party registration, or if they’re new to the district or just turned 18 — the state allows people to register to vote in person up to and including the day of an election.
ALL OF THE ABOVE AND MORE, are every American’s Constitutional privilege as citizen that wishes to make their voice be heard at the ballot box…OR as House Republicans have taken to calling it – “stolen.”
