The DeSaulnier Digest: My Statement Following Justice Department's Letter to Contra Costa
Last Friday, the U.S. Department of Justice sent a letter to several California counties, including Contra Costa County, giving the registrar of voters 48 hours to quarantine the ballots of more than 400 voters.
As I shared in a public statement, I have confidence that local elections officials are conducting this election in accordance with all state and federal laws and working to ensure that every eligible voter who wants to participate in the November 3rd election is able to do so. I remain deeply concerned with the escalating weaponization of the Justice Department to interfere with the upcoming election. To read my full statement on the DOJ's demands, click here.
Eligible voters in CA-10 can find more information about ballot drop box locations and polling places ahead of next Tuesday's election below:
