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.
