I'm writing with disgust over the fact you are pleased to give time to an organization that promotes election denial & conspiracy theories across the country.
The multitude of lawsuits
that have wasted our courts' time since the 2020 election--and this group has won zero of them --have only shown that our elections are secure & fair.
With all of the issues that SHOULD be
taking your attention & work , amazing that you continue to promote right wing issues instead.
I guess the past 2 elections were fair for only the
7 if you!!??
So tragic that our
beautiful city with the moniker "Surf City" is now better known as the"to NeoNazi, White Supremacist " center of California.
Try doing the job you were elected to do!!

Subject: Resolution on accurate and fair elections/Unite 4 Freedom presentation Date: Monday, October 6, 2025 4:04:27 PM
I am confused by the Unite 4 Freedom presentation and the accurate and fair election resolution.
I have no doubt that all of you hold your offices through appropriate appointment or through appropriate election. I have read Unite 4's website and its mission to alert the public to inaccuracies in elections. Are you suggesting that there were inaccuracies in the elections you won? Additionally your resolution calls upon federal,state and county authorities to do their part in ensuring accurate and fair elections. It sounds like a statement with no teeth. I truly do not understand why this is on the city council agenda.
Sincerely,
Pat Quintana

FROM THE 2024-2025 ORANGE COUNTY GRAND JURY REPORT:
IS VOTING INTEGRITY ALIVE AND WELL IN ORANGE COUNTY?
COMMENT FROM BOB PAGE,
REGISTRAR OF VOTERS, ORANGE COUNTY
“The Orange County Registrar of Voters has previously requested and not received a copy of the studies, including their methodology, conducted by United Sovereign Americans/Unite4Freedom. They have posted the results of their studies on their website at https://unite4freedom.com/reports/
.
“Their claim that about 20% of voters are non-existent or not eligible does not align with Orange County Registrar of Voters data that shows 99.9% of the 1.9 million active registered voters in Orange County have provided proof of identity in order to vote in federal elections.
“The remaining 0.1% of registered voters remain on the roll because they attested under penalty of perjury that they are eligible to vote. Pursuant to state law, they are eligible to vote in state and local elections when there is no federal office on the ballot.”
FROM PROTECT DEMOCRACY
https://protectdemocracy.org/work/the-big-lie-dressed-up-as-data-science Unite4Freedom is a program of United Sovereign Americans, Inc., a 501(c)(4) organization based in Missouri. Contributions are not tax-deductible. This organization promotes election denial and conspiracy theories, primarily by suing jurisdictions for alleged election fraud and inaccuracies in voter registration and ballot counts. They claim large-scale errors without providing verifiable evidence.
While they reference nine lawsuits alleging election fraud, none have been settled, and California is not among them. Their data and conclusions are presented without transparency regarding their methodology, and the group’s analyses are deeply flawed. Their methods include:
• Using only names and birth years to claim “duplicate registrations,” ignoring reliable identifiers such as driver’s license or Social Security numbers. • Labeling addresses as “invalid” for trivial reasons such as missing apartment numbers or non-alphabetical characters (like apostrophes), even when the addresses are legitimate.
• Flagging voter registration dates that fall on Sundays or holidays as “problematic,” even though online registration systems can process applications automatically on those dates.
IN CONCLUSION
Protect Democracy, a non-partisan, anti-authoritarian group, concludes that United Sovereign Americans’ data and methodology are unreliable, yet our City Council members seem ready to base policy discussions and possibly a resolution on Unite4Freedom’s information.
Meanwhile, Supervisor Janet Nguyen brags about co-authoring a measure that requires the Orange County Registrar of Voters to investigate whether its voter rolls contain animals by comparing thousands of pet licenses to the names and addresses of their potential owners. This follows recent criminal charges against a woman who registered her dog to vote and cast ballots in two elections (though the second one was rejected). What a massive waste of staff time and tax dollars. How many people are stupid enough to register their pets to vote, plus this woman has now been charged with five felonies. Are there really enough dogs voting fraudulently to skew an election? What a joke.

You are supposed to represent the people of Huntington Beach, the majority of whom are not MAGA. You seem to exist in a silo of skewed and incomplete information selected in a highly partisan manner by Fox and Newsmax, which in many ways does not truly reflect reality.
You need to broaden your horizons. Perhaps even call the Orange County Registrar of Voters (714-567-7600) to request a behind-the-scenes tour of the facility and explanation of the process to see what actually goes on there, rather than inviting a conspiracy theory group to give a biased and inaccurate presentation at a City Council meeting.
That’s right up there with promoting the Patriot Academy’s Biblical Constitution classes, rent free, in our public library. And proposing a Charlie Kirk memorial. And putting MAGA on the library’s 50th anniversary plaque. And attacking our public library and its librarians. And wasting millions of our taxpayer dollars on endless lawsuits against the State.
If our elections are so suspect that you need to require voter ID right here in Huntington Beach, how did the “Fab 4” win in 2022 and the “HB 3” win in 2024? We need an investigation!!!
You people are so transparent we can see right through you.
