A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD
URGING REFORM OF THE VOTING LAWS IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA TO ADDRESS THE IMPACT OF VOTER FRAUD
WHEREAS, several watchdog groups in California have uncovered evidence of significant
voter fraud during the election of November 1994; and
WHEREAS, the California Voter Fraud Task force studied eighty-four bellwether precincts
and determined that as many as 170,000 fraudulent votes could have been cast in the November
election; and
WHEREAS, the evidence generated by the study led the Task Force to conclude that voter
fraud occurred in previous elections on a scale large enough to have possibly affected the outcome
of several statewide and local races; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Rosemead has worked diligently over the years
to ensure that its local elections have been conducted honestly and without controversy.

the State Elections Code:

3. A ban on all "bounty hunting" in which people are hired to register voters.

5. Systematic "purging" of the State of California's voter rolls to drop the names of
individuals who have not voted in one of the previous two general elections.
SECTION 2. The City Clerk shall forward copies of this Resolution to the Governor, the
Secretary of State, the Attorney General, the members of the Legislature of the State of California,
the League of California Cities and the California Contract Contract Cities Association.
