Gov. Gavin Newsom Tried To Own A Voter On Mail-In Ballot Fraud, But It Backfired
OCTOBER 9, 2020 By Kylee Zempel
California Gov. Gavin Newsom is one top Democrat to insist that mass mail-in voting is an inerrant and seamless process. His protestations backfired, however, when one former California voter produced photographic evidence proving mail-in voting is ripe for abuse.
After a tweet exposing California’s election circus from author and podcast host Jarrett Stepman garnered some attention, Newsom couldn’t help but jump into the ring. “Just to we’re all clear — this is FALSE,” the California governor tweeted emphatically. “Ballots don’t get mailed in CA until next month,” Newsom said, linking to a state ballot-tracking website “for those interested in facts.”
Newsom didn’t get the last word. Stepman on Thursday tweeted a picture of the ballot that arrived in the mail to his parents’ California address, where he hasn’t lived in nearly a decade. This occurred despite the fact that Stepman is a registered voter in Washington, D.C., and that he has contacted his former state to inform officials he no longer lives in California.
“And here’s my ballot right on schedule,” Stepman tweeted. “I haven’t lived in CA in a decade & notified the state I no longer live there. I could have voted twice. It would be nice if the governor was a little more concerned with his state’s electoral security, but I guess that’s too much to ask.”
“When I left eight years ago, California sent an absentee ballot to my parents’ house,” Stepman told The Federalist. “When my father went down to the polling location to vote, he told them I’d moved away. I also changed my address with the post office and have registered to vote in Virginia and now D.C. When I registered in Virginia, I checked the box saying I’d been registered in a previous state and said it was California. There is no reason for California to think I should be a registered voter there.”
Rather than comment on the matter, Newson’s office directed The Federalist to the secretary of state’s office, which also did not respond to a request for comment.
Newsom’s attempted own backfired, but the blunder with Stepman’s ballot is far from an isolated instance, nor is it a problem unique to the Golden State. The attempts at mail-in voting in states that haven’t practiced doing so for years have already proved to be riddled with errors.
