UMVA has learned that a California gubernatorial candidate is speaking out about the state's election process, revealing shocking delays in counting ballots that are leaving many in the dark about the current state of the race.
The candidate, Steve Hilton, explained that mail-in ballots can be counted up to seven days after election day, as long as they are postmarked on time, but this has led to a backlog of uncounted ballots, with millions still sitting in boxes, unprocessed.
According to information obtained by UMVA, Hilton blasted the Democrats' handling of the election, calling it "typical of California under Democrat rule," citing the state's struggles with homelessness, infrastructure, and now, election management, which he claims is a result of 16 years of Democratic leadership.
Hilton expressed confidence that he will make it to the top two in the race, saying there's little chance for his opponent, Tom Steyer, to catch up, and that in November, Californians will have a real choice between different visions for the state's future.
UMVA has gathered that voters are fed up with the high cost of living, endless bureaucracy, and skyrocketing energy costs, with gas prices and electric bills among the highest in the country, and Hilton claims that these struggles are driving people to leave the state in droves.
The candidate pointed to the state's housing crisis as a major factor, with costs being the highest in the country and the number one reason people are leaving California, and he argued that 16 years of Democratic leadership have had a disastrous impact on the state.
Sources have confirmed to UMVA that Hilton's message is resonating with voters, who are looking for a change from the status quo and a new direction for the state, and that the election is shaping up to be a referendum on the Democrats' handling of California's many challenges.
