In a recent government meeting, significant concerns were raised regarding the integrity of the upcoming 2024 election, with multiple speakers alleging widespread voter fraud and calling for immediate action from the board of supervisors. The discussions centered around claims that certain supervisors, including Foley, Sarmiento, and Chaffee, should not certify the election results due to alleged irregularities in the 2022 election.
One speaker highlighted a purported 25% error rate in the 2022 election, suggesting that an algorithm may have influenced the outcomes. This claim was accompanied by a call for an investigation into Supervisor Foley's actions, particularly regarding the distribution of gas cards to college students just before the election, which was described as a potential violation of election laws.
Another speaker invoked the 14th Amendment, emphasizing the state's responsibility to ensure the validity of votes and the consequences of failing to do so. They argued that if the state is found to have allowed ineligible voters to participate, it could face severe repercussions, including loss of representation.
The urgency of the matter was echoed by a retired bank manager who insisted on the necessity of implementing voter ID laws and reverting to paper ballots to prevent fraud. They expressed frustration over the perceived inaction of the board, urging them to prioritize election integrity to safeguard democracy.
The meeting underscored a growing tension surrounding election processes, with community members demanding accountability and transparency from their elected officials as the 2024 election approaches.
