In a recent government meeting, concerns were raised regarding the integrity and transparency of the election system, with a particular focus on mail-in ballots and the management of voter rolls. A speaker highlighted that since April 2021, no substantive changes have been made to improve the election process, despite hopes for increased transparency. They emphasized the importance of maintaining accurate voter rolls, as mandated by the Help America Vote Act of 2002, and expressed worries about potential inaccuracies due to a lack of regular updates.

The speaker proposed a series of reforms aimed at ensuring free and fair elections, including the implementation of a backup plan for voting in case of power outages or cyber attacks. They advocated for a system of paper ballots that are hand-marked and hand-counted, along with strict voter ID requirements and the elimination of DMV voter registration. Additionally, they suggested that precincts should be limited to populations of 2,000 or fewer to better manage voting logistics.

In a separate discussion, a public health professional raised alarm over vaccine safety, citing a statement from Health and Human Services Secretary Javier Becerra regarding disproportionate adverse effects of vaccines on communities of color. The speaker shared a personal account of a family member who experienced severe health decline after vaccination, linking it to broader concerns about vaccine-related health risks.

The meeting underscored the urgency of addressing these issues as the November 5 election approaches, with calls for immediate action to enhance the electoral process and ensure public health safety.
