    FIRST AMENDED COMPLAINT

    FOR DECLARATORY AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF

    UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

    CENTRAL DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

    Case 2:21-cv-00032-AB-MAA

    NATURE OF THE ACTION

    1. Election integrity and transparency are critical for the enfranchisement of every eligible voter, regardless of party or political view.While many recent election cases have focused solely on the outcome of the November 2020 election, this suit primarily challenges California’s unconstitutional election process for future elections.

      This process includes near-universal vote-by-mail (“VBM”) balloting, while eliminating chain-of-custody and signature verification protections, treating in-person voters differently from VBM voters, and sending ballots to large numbers of ineligible voters.

      This endangers many of California’s most vulnerable populations, including the young, the elderly, and non-citizens. It has also led to pervasive irregularities in the election process that threaten to disenfranchise California voters.

    2. Our Constitutional Republic is founded on the sacred right of every eligible citizen to cast an equal vote to determine who will represent him or her in government.The Constitution of the United States guarantees this right through the Equal Protection and Due Process Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment and, in the case of Federal congressional elections, through the Elections Clause (Art. I, § 4, cl. 1).

      It also “guarantee[s] to every State . . . a Republican Form of Government, and protect[ion] . . . against Invasion. (Art. IV, § 4.)

    3. Over the past three decades in California, however, these rights have been intentionally eroded by an onslaught of unconstitutional statutes, regulations, executive orders, and voting practices which, taken together, are designed to create an environment in which elections could be manipulated and eligible voters of all political viewpoints disenfranchised.
    4. This is not a partisan issue but a United States Constitutional one. Nor is it an issue that affects just one candidate or just one election. It is an issue that must be remedied to ensure the integrity of future elections for all citizens.
