Mary Jo Street referenced historical political sentiments, invoking quotes from President John F.

Mary Burgess brought attention to a recent whistleblower report concerning the transportation of unaccompanied minors, linking it to broader issues of accountability and the welfare of children in the U.S. She articulated a vision for a society where all children have their needs met, advocating for election integrity as a foundational step toward achieving this ideal.

Micah Sandoval warned voters to verify their ballots, citing reports of voting machines malfunctioning and flipping votes. He called for the implementation of receipt systems for ballots to ensure transparency in the voting process.

The discussions reflect a growing concern over election integrity and the role of government in safeguarding democratic principles.
