Come on, governor, let’s count all the votes. What is there to be afraid of?
Governor of California Gavin Newsom speaks during a press conference on Wednesday, Jan. 3, 2023, at the Los Angeles General Medical Center to urge support for Proposition 1 on the March 5, 2024 ballot. The proposition would overhaul California’s mental health funding system, and a $6.4 billion bond will expand access for hundreds of thousands of Californians, fund substance abuse treatment, and help get those suffering from mental health crises off the streets and into care.
Most critically, tens of thousands of voters had their mail ballots rejected, but they could be reinstated and counted. These ballots could make the difference. Remember the Bush vs. Gore presidential election in Florida in 2000. The governor’s tactics on Prop. 1 today are a sleazy echo of that attempt to manipulate the final vote count. Gore’s campaign asked for “recounts” only in heavily Democratic counties – not statewide – hoping to gain votes. The Supreme Court stopped the madness, and Al Gore lost.
My group opposed Prop. 1, but right now we simply want to see all votes counted. It’s about the legitimacy of this vote, up or down. If your ballot was rejected, be sure to reply to the county notice you received. If you’re not sure if your ballot was counted, or if you need the forms to sign, go online toWhy is the governor fighting so hard, in such partisan fashion, over a ballot measure? The battle over Prop. 1 is partly about the substance, and partly about Gov. Newsom’s political future.
