Local speakers challenge election certification and voter-roll maintenance during public comment
Summary
During consent‑agenda public comments, a remote speaker urged the board not to receive and file the county's June 2 primary certification, alleging widespread ineligible registrations and referencing federal litigation and alleged database problems.
A remote commenter, Bruce McVicker, used his allotted time during the consent‑agenda public comment to urge the board not to receive and file the June 2, 2026 statewide direct primary certification for Ventura County. He cited a letter he said was delivered to county offices advising rejection of certification and alleged "illegal votes" on voter rolls, referencing California election statutes and litigation over statewide voter-registration data.
McVicker questioned how many long‑inactive registrations and noncitizen registrations appear on county voter rolls and urged the board to provide answers about registration maintenance. Clerks and staff did not take action on his request during the consent votes; the board proceeded to approve the consent items and move through its agenda.
