My name is Raji Rab. Congressional candidate for District 30 in Los Angeles County.

On March 3, 2020, thousands of Angelenos experienced voter suppression in the form of:

• Ballot Marking Devices (BMDs) failing at various Voting Centers on Election Day thereby creating long wait times
• 3+ hour long lines at several voting centers
• Provisional ballots (which require extra scrutiny) being handed out to THOUSANDS of voters
• Huge reduction of Voting Centers
• Voter names/registration MISSING from roster
• Paper ballots (which are required by law to be made available at EVERY voting center) MISSING from various voting centers

And much more...

On the day of March 3rd, I was very happy to see that there was a huge turnout of voters waiting in line for hours committed to cast their vote. I went to several voting centers to find a shorter line but ended up in line for a very long time. I voted at 8PM in Reseda and know that many people in line behind me voted after 10PM. As I headed towards the LA County Registrar's office, I was shocked to find out that my congressional election in District 30 was falsely called by the New York Times in favor of my opponent (Brad Sherman), with only 1% reporting...

As I arrived at the LARRCC (Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder / County Clerk) vote count site in Downey, I found out that I was the only congressional candidate from District 30 and LA County who was there to monitor the vote count and witness the authenticity of the election night results.

I asked the senior election official, Alex Olvera as to what time the scanning and tabulation of the VBM (Vote-by-Mail) ballots started.

Olvera proceeded to provide a sneaky answer and said that the LARRCC started to process the ballots 10 days before election day. I asked him to define the term process and requested to be shown the Election Code book as well. Olvera brought out the election code book and within the codes, Election Code EC § 15101(b) clearly defined the term processing as:

“(b) Any jurisdiction having the necessary computer capability may start to process vote by mail ballots on the 10th business day before the election. Processing vote by mail ballots includes opening vote by mail ballot return envelopes, removing ballots, duplicating any damaged ballots, and preparing the ballots to be machine read, or machine reading them, including processing write-in votes so that they can be tallied by the machine, but under no circumstances may a vote count be accessed or released until 8 p.m. on the day of the election. All other jurisdictions shall start to process vote by mail ballots at 5 p.m. on the day before the election.”

I then asked Olvera if the machines were two-in-one scanner and tabulation machines. To which he said "he didn’t know and needed to ask his boss". Alex returned and said "NO. The machines were not two-in-one scanner and tabulation machines."

THIS WAS A LIE.

A HUGE MISREPRESENTATION to a federal candidate in a federal election.

I knew this was a lie because when Alex had gone out of the observation room to speak to his boss, I had asked another official in the room the same question and he proceeded to speak with his supervisor & Senior Election Staffer Jeff Klein and confirmed that "YES, these were all two-in-one scanner and tabulation machines." [Some of which can be displayed here]

I was shocked at this scandal unwinding right in front of my eyes. So I confronted Alex, in front of Jeff Klein, about the inconsistency in their answers...which left both Olvera & Klein baffled.

At first, Jeff continued with what he originally said: the machines are two-in-one and that is their function. However, Jeff's tune changed upon Alex's unwavering insistence that the machines were not two-in-one function and that the tabulation machines were set up in another room.

This was another HUGE misrepresentation to a federal candidate in a federal election.

The problem for them was this: By accepting the truth, that the machines are two-in-one scanner AND tabulation machines, the fraud of tabulating ballots 10 days before the election would be exposed.

Because the machines are two-in-one function scanning and tabulation machines, the LARRCC performed both scanning AND tabulation 10 days before the election in order to access results and change them before 8PM on election day in violation of EC § 15101(b). Witnesses who attended the vote count site with me were also in awe of the blatant fraud.

L.A. County Registrar DEAN C. LOGAN orchestrated the fraud by scanning and tabulating VBM ballots 10 days before 8PM March 3 Election day which again is in violation of California Election Code EC § 15101(b).

I raised concerns that voters needed transparency and authenticity of the election night results and that integrity was missing in the process. Instead of coming out clean in response to my questions, I was told by another Senior Election Staffer, Jeff Klein, that no further questions will be answered...

I was initially told by Alex Olvera that the counting will take several days, however, later that night, I was told that due to "poor turn out", the tabulation would finish around 4AM that night (March 3rd). This was also surprising to me as I personally saw MASSIVE voter turnout.

The architect of this fraud, as we now know: LA COUNTY Registrar Dean C. Logan; has a HISTORY of corruption and fraud and I say again...that the fraudulent activity Logan committed by scanning & tabulating the VBM ballots before 8PM election night is illegal, constitutes election fraud, is in violation of California code EC § 15101(b) and renders the outcome of this 2020 Primary Election: illegal, fraudulent, uncertain and in violation of our democracy.

This was a PREMEDITATED plot to steal the election not just from myself but from other candidates as well... 

To summarize how the fraud was executed:

• Vote-by-Mail (VBM) ballots arrive early to the LARRCC (arriving from the voters home to a PO BOX and THEN to the LARRCC).
• In violation of EC § 15101(b), Dean Logan illegally scanned VBM ballots through the new ballot counting machines which have 2-in-1 tabulation and scanning capability 10 days before the election & proceeded to access the vote count and change the results

Background Discussion of Plaintiff

          Raji Rab, Congressional candidate for California’s 30th Congressional District. Along with the Rab for Congress Committee, Filed his complaint of national significance in court seeking justice and urgent injunctive relief, to fight 2020 Primary election fraud, and to protect transparency and reliability of the primary election on March 3, 2020.

In 2018, Plaintiff fought election fraud against LARRCC all the way to U.S. Supreme Court, wherein Writ of Certiorari was admitted by the U.S. Supreme Court, Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr. placing L.A. County election fraud on the record of U.S. Supreme Court.

In view of the 2018 court battle for election integrity , Plaintiff was hoping that transparency and integrity of elections would have drastically improved, but on the
contrary the L.A. County Registrar Dean C. Logan became ever more defiant, taking corruption and election fraud CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE 1709-1710 to its worst extremes with a new record-breaking corruption of 300 million dollars of tax payers money plundered on defective and dysfunctional machines, failed States own standards.

In the wake of this massive loss of taxpayer’s money, the Registrar remains bold, unashamed, and unaccounted for in his fraud and deceit.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Although the Secretary of State (Alex Padilla) was notified that the complaint (dated April 8, 2020) about election fraud, violation of constitutional rights, and Racketeering was being filed in court; He rushed to certify the fraudulent election results on May 1, 2020.

Evidence (information about the machine and how it operates) is not being shared.

L.A County is the largest county in America, with zero election oversight by the Board of Supervisors & Secretary of State.

Only the people can stop this corruption and bring the rule of law to allow genuine leaders to serve and protect civil & human rights..

We the people MUST stop this corruption NOW; otherwise, the special interests behind this election fraud will continue to rule us endlessly.

 

SOLUTION:

Support our petition to bring massive attention to this case that Raji is currently fighting.

The matter is currently in process in the Superior Court of California (County of Sacramento) where an admirable presiding judge, under the COVID-19 Pandemic emergency, admitted the case by mail.

The judges currently are siding with the election officials on their word without even taking one look at the alleged fraud. They have the power to prevent the biggest miscarriage of justice as well as prevent irreparable loss that is falling upon us all by the consecutive execution of these fraudulent elections year after year.

The judge has the power to order and make public the viewing of evidence. Among other powers...

A direct order to:

• VACATE the illegal May 1st Certification by SOS Alex Padilla
• A MANUAL RECOUNT as requested in the complaint.
• PUBLIC VIEWING of the 2-in-1 scanning and tabulation machines
• Provide to the PUBLIC the operating manual of the machines
• Provide to the PUBLIC the operational procedures of the machines
• HALT the printing of November ballots until an outcome is reached in this matter
• HALT tampering (Halt actions of current election staff & Dean Logan)
• CREATE an Independent Public Oversight Committee

In reaching our signature goal, we can put pressure on the courts to perform these orders in the interest of the public and pave the way for MORE TRANSPARENCY IN OUR ELECTIONS.
 

Please share and spread the message. Our democracy is at stake.

 

Thank you.
