World Ablaze with George Fontes delivers unfiltered, no-bullshit conversations and hard-hitting unfiltered commentary on politics, news, and geopolitics.
Donna Linder joins the show to discuss the process of counting your vote.
Donna is the County Clerk / Recorder and Registrar of Voters for Stanislaus County in California. Together we discuss election integrity and ballot verification as Donna walks us through the process and explains the safeguards in place to fight election fraud.
Donna admits that she can't speak for every county, and that while tales of election fraud through ballot harvesting and other scrupulous means are prevalent, she is an open book on the steps she takes, and uses everything within her power to ensure that every election is legitimate and that voter integrity is upheld.
Our conversation takes us behind the curtain of how your ballot is handled, verified, and counted dispelling the narratives and noise of rigged elections, although fraud is still possible, it does not happen under Donna's watch.
