Local New California organizer announces Nov. 4 precinct election in Jackson; group outlines process and claims
Summary
A representative of the New California State committee announced a local precinct election on Nov. 4 at the Jackson Civic Center, described the group's on-site registration and hand-count process, and made claims about proposed political outcomes; the remarks were delivered during general public comment and attributed to the speaker.
Chris Strong, chair of the Amador County committee for the group New California State, used the public comment period to announce a precinct election his group is holding on Tuesday, Nov. 4, at the Jackson Civic Center.
Strong said the voting hours will be noon to 5 p.m., that the event is a one‑day, in‑person vote where participants register on-site and ballots are hand counted, and that the election is being held under the group’s own constitution. He encouraged attendance and said he had emailed supervisors a flyer, a press release, the group’s constitution and a proposed bill about “free, fair, and auditable elections.”
Why it matters: The remarks were a public comment announcement and do not reflect county endorsement. Strong also outlined political goals he associates with the organization’s plans — claims the board did not verify and that the county did not adopt or act on during the meeting.
Direct statements from the speaker included: “Our voting hours are from noon to 5PM ... We register on-site, and we hand count on-site, and it's all open to the public.” He also said the group's plans would ultimately “create 2 new set US senators, a new governor, 26 congressional seats” and that he planned to submit the group’s constitution to Congress and the president after the local precinct election. Those claims were made by Strong and are reported here as his statements.
The board did not take action on the announcement; staff and supervisors took the comment as public input and noted the event in the public comment record.
