Election integrity has been a hot topic of debate for years now. Republicans and democrats alike have thrown down a variety of accusations regarding certain elections.
This from thepatriotjournal.com.
And while most left-wingers presently say they don’t believe in “stolen” elections, there is still plenty of evidence to prove that our voting system has flaws.
This week, the Compton, California, city council was forced to overturn the results of an election because of some very serious charges.
Isaac Galvan appeared to be the winner in the tightest of races: Seemingly his win was by just one vote.
This news is more reason for Americans to distrust certain aspects of our system.
From Breitbart:
An election to the Compton, California, city council has been overturned due to the discovery of election fraud in a close race in which the winning candidate has been charged with voter fraud and bribery.
Compton City Council member Isaac Galvan, who appeared to win his seat by the slimmest possible margin of one vote, was arrested last year, along with five other people, and charged with conspiracy to commit election fraud.
A judge ruled last week that challenger Andre Spicer will take the victory.
That’s because four votes cast in the election were ruled invalid, as a result of ballots cast by individuals who don’t live in that district.
Prosecutors in the case accused Galvan of conspiring with primary opponent Jace Dawson to order voters from outside the district to cast ballots for Galvan.
On top of that allegation, Galvan has been accused of trying to bribe an election official with concert tickets, yet another voting-related crime.
While it was a small number of votes, they obviously impacted the outcome of this particular election.
Note that although this was a local level election it stands as an example and further proof that election fraud is possible and will occur again.
As the midterm elections loom large on the horizon, we must hope more election integrity concerns prevail.
