‘This is outright election sabotage. No matter who you’re voting for, this should outrage every single American’

With Election Day Tuesday in California, officials in Los Angeles are investigating two separate incidents involving the burning of ballots and vandalism to a voting center in America’s largest county.

Government officials announced that on Sunday morning, “vandalism was discovered at the Vote Center at Cesar E. Chavez Park. Election workers and officials responded immediately, and voting operations were not disrupted.”

“Separately, during routine ballot collection procedures … staff identified a limited number of Vote by Mail ballots that appeared to have sustained fire-related damage inside an Official Ballot Drop Box at the Department of Public Social Services-Civic Center.”

The race for L.A. mayor has attracted national attention, as former reality TV star Spencer Pratt, whose home was burned down in the Palisades fire last year, is hoping to oust Democrat incumbent Karen Bass.

“Mail-in ballots in L.A. are being found BURNED and a voting center VANDALIZED with just 1 day until Spencer Pratt’s potential for an upset win. What a coincidence,” said Eric Daugherty of RightLine News. “Pratt needs to win this! This is why mass mail-ins must be banned totally! Pass the SAVE America Act!”

Former police officer Brandon Tatum noted: “L.A. deserves better than this chaos and corruption. This is outright election sabotage. No matter who you’re voting for, this should outrage every single American. This is a full-on attack on YOUR right to vote!!”

Journalist Benny Johnson stated: “This is what election integrity looks like in a Democrat-run city. This is why we need the SAVE America Act NOW. Vote in person tomorrow!”
