SACRAMENTO—Thanksgiving weekend saw a great mix of protestors at California’s state capitol, demonstrating for a variety of causes including a fair and free election, supporting the president, ending unconstitutional restrictions that began with the pandemic, and protesting socialist policies.
Ellen Lee Zhou from San Francisco was there to protest election fraud, as she has in many cities in the past couple of weeks.
“This is the joined force of all 50 states, all 50 states of America are here calling out loud to audit the ballots,” she said in Sacramento, California on Nov. 28, 2020. Thousands have been protesting against election fraud in similar demonstrations across the country every Saturday since Election Day.
She said this election was rife with “lawlessness” with ridiculous numbers of dead people voting, lost ballots, extra ballots, and in states where such evidence has come forth those votes should not be certified.
“It tells me the government is corrupt, especially those Democrat-run states,” she said. Lee Zhou suspects this has been going on for several years, not just this one election, because similar systems and software have been used in past elections.
“Hopefully the election recount will happen and the election audit will happen,” she said. “This is not only a California problem, this is the entire United States’ problem.”
‘I’m hoping and praying people will do the right thing’
Several demonstrators from the Walk Away movement, where people have walked away from the Democrat Party in recent years, also joined the election fraud protest.“I was a Democrat my whole life,” said Tracy Cumming. But after the shutdowns this year she was taken aback by the media coverage of the virus. Something didn’t seem right, she said, when she ran into several instances of censorship in media and online.
“I hated Trump when he was elected,” she added.
The media presented the image of a horrible person, she said, but then she started watching him speak at press conferences, “unfiltered by the media, and I realized he was very presidential, very compassionate to the people,” Cumming said. In fact, the media seemed to have lied to the people. “From there, I just decided I couldn’t be a Democrat anymore.”
“Doesn’t matter if you’re for Trump or Biden, this election has been stolen from us,” she said. “It makes me so disheartened and disgusted by the people, in this country or elsewhere in the world, who have stolen this from us. I just feel like I have to do what I have to do.”
“We have to get this right, we have to get our election figured out so we can continue to have free democracy, one person one vote,” she said.
She said she would like to see the votes in all of the states looked at, not just the battleground states where lawsuits are underway, because even in blue California she has attended Trump rallies so large that she suspects he might have won more the 30-some percent of popular votes as the polls show.
“I have faith in God and faith hopefully, I hope enough people, people in high places, our legislators in these states, I hope they have the courage,” she said. “I’m hoping and praying people will do the right thing. God is ultimately in control. I have faith.”
