Fresno Deploys City Attorneys to Monitor Polling Sites in Upcoming Special Election

The City of Fresno has decided to deploy city attorneys to monitor polling sites during the upcoming Special Election. This decision follows the Department of Justice's announcement of federal election monitors for five counties, including Fresno. The move aims to ensure voter integrity and address past discrepancies in the ballot curing process.

The Fresno City Council voted unanimously, 6-0, to have city attorneys join state and federal election monitors. This will happen as early as Friday, pending available resources. The City Attorney's Office will work alongside the Election Integrity Project, which announced a monitoring program for polling stations last week, including Fresno.

The decision was made independently by the City of Fresno and without informing the Fresno County Clerk Registrar of Voters, James Kus. This action was partly prompted by a request from the California Republican Party Chairwoman, Corrin Rankin, who sought oversight due to past issues in the ballot curing process. The city attorneys will work to prevent voter intimidation, ensure all votes are counted, and maintain the integrity of the 2024 presidential election process.

The City of Fresno has taken a proactive step to ensure a fair and transparent 2024 united states elections. By deploying city attorneys to monitor polling sites, the city aims to build trust in the election process and address past concerns. This move aligns with the Department of Justice's decision to send federal election monitors to Fresno and other counties for the 2024 united states elections.
