League of Women Voters of California Acts to Protect Mailed Ballots in California
La Liga de Mujeres Votantes de California actúa para proteger las papeletas enviadas por correo en California
| |
Hundreds of thousands of California voters could have their ballots wrongfully discounted, according to a motion to intervene filed by the League of Women Voters of California (LWVC) on Friday against a lawsuit seeking to block counting mailed ballots received after Election Day.
The LWVC, represented by the ACLU and the ACLU Foundations of Northern California, Southern California, and San Diego & Imperial Counties, seeks to intervene in a lawsuit brought last month by California Congressman Darrell Issa. Issa’s suit alleges that the state is violating federal election laws by allowing voters who cast and mail their mail ballots by Election Day to have those ballots counted if they are received within seven days after Election Day. Issa’s lawsuit, if successful, would require voters to cast and mail their ballots well in advance of Election Day or risk that their vote will not be counted.
In 2014, California legislators voted to implement a grace period of three days after Election Day for mail ballots postmarked by Election Day to be delivered. After a temporary extension to 17 days during the Covid-19 pandemic, state legislators in 2021 settled on the current window of seven days post-Election Day.
“California’s vote-by-mail system follows a common-sense principle: voters who mail their ballot in by Election Day should have their vote counted,” said Chris Carson, president of the League of Women Voters of California. “This dangerous lawsuit seeks to rob Californians of the opportunity to make their voices heard in the way most accessible to them—and the League of Women Voters of California will not stand for that.”

Cientos de miles de votantes californianos podrían ver sus papeletas injustamente descontadas, según una moción de intervención presentada el viernes por la Liga de Mujeres Votantes de California (LWVC) contra una demanda que busca bloquear el recuento de las papeletas enviadas por correo recibidas después del día de las elecciones.
La LWVC, representada por la ACLU y las Fundaciones de la ACLU de los condados del Norte y Sur de California, y de San Diego e Imperial, busca intervenir en una demanda interpuesta el mes pasado por el congresista californiano Darrell Issa. La demanda de Issa alega que el estado viola las leyes electorales federales al permitir que los votantes que emitan y envíen sus papeletas por correo antes del día de las elecciones, tengan sus papeletas contabilizadas si se reciben dentro de los siete días posteriores a la jornada electoral. De prosperar la demanda de Issa, los votantes tendrían que emitir y enviar sus papeletas por correo con bastante antelación al día de las elecciones o se arriesgarían a que su voto no fuera contabilizado. En 2014, los legisladores californianos votaron a favor de implementar un periodo de gracia de tres días después del día de las elecciones para la entrega de las papeletas de voto por correo con matasellos del día de las elecciones. Tras una extensión temporal a 17 días durante la pandemia de COVID-19, en 2021 los legisladores estatales decidieron mantener el plazo actual de siete días después del día de las elecciones.
“El sistema de voto por correo de California sigue un principio de sentido común: los votantes que envían su papeleta por correo antes del día de las elecciones deben ver su voto contabilizado”, declaró Chris Carson, presidenta de la Liga de Mujeres Votantes de California. “Esta peligrosa demanda busca privar a los californianos de la oportunidad de hacer oír su voz de la manera más accesible para ellos, y la Liga de Mujeres Votantes de California no lo tolerará”.
