The Coalition Taking On “Rigged Elections”

Days before the midterms, a coalition of Los Angeles business, faith and civic leaders went inside the county’s vote count to answer one question: will your vote be counted? Miguel Santana, CEO of the California Community Foundation, returns to The Raid to talk with John Carlos Frey about "A Count You Can Trust", the nonpartisan coalition he co-chairs with former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. He explains why the lead can change even after election night, as it did in the mayoral primary that the Trump called, rigged. They also discuss the fear building in California before Election Day. Santana describes a federal challenge to Los Angeles County voter registrations, made in the middle of the election without evidence, and arrests of people accused of illegal voting, carried out in front of cameras. Santana, who was born in East Los Angeles, says he now carries his passport, and he worries those images will reach Latino voters in places where a few votes could decide a race. https://www.acountyoucantrust.org/ California Community Foundation: https://www.calfund.org/ https://theraidpodcast.org/Disclaimer: The statements and opinions expressed by the host or participants on this program are solely their own and do not necessarily represent those of the distributor of the program and any person or entity affiliated with said distributor ("distributor's affiliates").  The distributor and distributor's affiliates are not responsible for, and shall not be liable for, the statements and opinions expressed by the host or participants, or for any content that appears on the program.     Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
