    Hye Votes

    LITTLE ARMENIA-On Monday, April 22 campaign workers for candidate John
    Choi were stopped and allegedly threatened with violence by two men
    who are backing Mitch O'Farrell, Choi's opponent in the 13th Council
    District race. After they called a supervisor to come to the scene,
    a third man then approached and allegedly brandished a gun. These
    recent alleged incidents of violence on the campaign trail and the
    use of force are appalling.

    Hye Votes Hollywood strongly denounces voter infringement and
    disenfranchisement in our community. The organization reiterates that
    is vital that every citizen have the chance to freely exercise their
    right to vote and that no voice gets stifled.

    Armenian-Americans remain an under-represented demographic and
    remedying this unfortunate situation is why Hye Votes was created.

    "Any attempts to interfere with voting or to unfairly influence
    voters goes against what Hye Votes stands for," stated ANCA Hollywood
    Chairman, Paul Seradarian, adding, "We strive to broaden democratic
    engagement in our community, not narrow it."

    Hye Votes Hollywood will be vigilant in bringing to light any
    activity that goes against its core principles, and the organization
    will actively combat any instances of voter fraud, infringement or
    disenfranchisement.
