California Election Watchdog Hopes to Set Up Town Hall With President Trump
The Election Integrity Project California (EIPCa) is hoping to set up a meeting with President Donald Trump to discuss safeguarding the integrity of the election process.
“We believe we need a town hall,” said Linda Paine, president of the EIPCa, at a recent meeting with Los Angeles County supporters. “We’d like to ask Californians to help us call upon President Trump to hear us.”
EIPCa will be holding another public meeting on Jan. 28 in Tustin, California, to discuss the non-profit organization’s recent work, including a major legal victory against the state of California and Los Angeles County in cooperation with Judicial Watch.
The ruling required state and county officials to remove as many as 1.5 million inactive registered names on the voter rolls in Los Angeles County alone.
This is far from the only issue discovered by the organization but the initial success has caught the attention of similar groups elsewhere. Paine said she’s been getting calls from other states asking how the organization was able to win the lawsuit and how they can do the same thing. She hopes a national meeting will help rally people around the country to get more involved in election integrity.
California is one of a number of states where ordinary citizens associated with a nonpartisan group are allowed to observe the entire election process. This has allowed EIPCa to train volunteers to go out and gather information about what they directly observed.
“From the time [Trump] started the Commission on Election Integrity and Voter Fraud, we attempted to get our research and report directly to him,” said Paine.
The president’s commission was started in May 2017 and disbanded in January 2018, with the Department of Homeland Security taking over management of the issue. However, concerns over election fraud have not disappeared.
The recent legalization of a practice dubbed “ballot harvesting” and other changes to ballot counting were found to have helped flip at seven U.S. House races from Republican to Democrat in California.
