California Secretary of State Under Fire for Ballot Mistake

(Newsworthy.news) – The California Secretary of State’s Office released a statement on January 26th admitting that there was an error that caused Democrat U.S. Senate contender Christina Pascucci to have a No Ballot Designation flag on her ballot and in the voter guide for the March 5th primary.

Secretary Shirley Weber stated that Pascucci should have been designated as a former local television journalist.

Although the error has been rectified on the internet, the ballots and official voter guides cannot be updated at this time.

According to Weber’s office, the oversight was caused by an administrative error.
What the State Department is doing to make sure this doesn’t happen again is not known.

To replace the seat left vacant by the passing of Democrat Senator Dianne Feinstein, Pascucci (38) has already confronted an arduous campaign. She faces stronger opposition from more prominent Democrats, such as Barbara Lee (63), Katie Porter (50), and former baseball star Steve Garvey (75), who is running as a Republican.

When Pascucci was designated as No Ballot Designation, her polling percentages dropped in half, according to her.

Pascucci has stated her disinterest in spending millions of dollars to reprint the voter guides and ballots, which would be paid for by the state taxpayers. She went on to say that she thought this was a fundamentally enormous blunder.

According to Pascucci’s election attorney, Steve Churchwell, the campaign asked Weber’s office to inform voters of the error via email, but the request was denied.

As a result, the campaign is now collaborating with many voter registrars to determine potential local actions.

Christina Pascucci is listed as an ardent supporter of 88 Bikes, a group leading the fight against pedophilia and child human trafficking, on her campaign website. Joining them on their arduous journey through Cambodian woods, she brought attention to their ceaseless efforts to save girls as young as four. In her undercover work against human trafficking with the Los Angeles Police Department, she used what she had learned from her time overseas.
