For Immediate Release 07/26/2023, Santa Clarita, California – Last week, California Judge André Birotte Jr. dismissed the election lawsuit filed by the Election Integrity Project of California (“EIPCa”) even though the Ninth Circuit held the Plaintiffs had standing and ordered the case to move forward last winter.

Since the 2020 election, EIPCa has collected thousands of incident reports from citizens in California reporting election workers not vetting signatures and, in some cases, counting ballots without signatures. Plaintiffs allege these irregularities are the result of California’s laws and regulations that massively expanded universal vote-by-mail and gutted signature verification requirements.

Judge Birotte dismissed the lawsuit, claiming the allegations amounted to garden-variety election irregularities, and Plaintiffs did not allege facts supporting viable claims.

“The allegations do not amount to garden-variety election irregularities but represent systemic issues with California’s election process that disproportionately harm valid in-person voters,” says Mariah Gondeiro, attorney for Advocates for Faith and Freedom. “At the pleading stage, courts must accept all allegations as true, and the federal court improperly dismissed Plaintiffs’ allegations while giving greater weight to Defendants’ unsupported arguments.”

“We look forward to winning again at the Ninth Circuit and setting precedent that will have a broader impact,” says Robert Tyler, President for Advocates for Faith and Freedom.

“Over 20,000 CA citizens have taken EIPCa’s observer training and documented serious election irregularities in 43 out of 58 counties since 2012,” says Linda Paine, President of EIPCa. “We have earned the right to start Discovery!"
