Fear is keeping people from the polls. On this episode of The Raid, investigative journalist John Carlos Frey talks with former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa about A Count You Can Trust, a new nonpartisan coalition he co-chairs to explain how votes are counted and correct false claims with facts.
Villaraigosa has been on the ballot 21 times and says he has never seen tension like this. With talk of ICE agents at voting centers, an immigration enforcement surge in Los Angeles, and claims from Washington that California’s elections are rigged, he explains why so many voters, Democrats and Republicans alike, are worried, and why Election Night leads can flip once mail-in ballots are counted.
He walks through every way to vote without setting foot in a polling place, how to check your registration and track your ballot, why L.A. County, which counts more votes than 41 states, takes time to finish, and how anyone can watch the count in person. He also explains how you can join the coalition. His message: vote for whoever you want, but vote, because your ballot will be counted.
