The Huntington Beach City Council in California voted unanimously last week to adopt Resolution 2025-64, a measure urging that next year’s elections be conducted in a “legally valid and transparent” manner.
Before the vote, the council heard a presentation from Unite 4 Freedom, a nonpartisan group dedicated to ensuring election integrity. The presenter said the group’s audit of 2024 election data across 30 states uncovered “more than 39 million defective registrations” and “over 14 million votes counted from ineligible voters.”
The resolution, introduced by Mayor Pat Burns, was supported by Mayor Pro Tem Casey McKeon, Councilmen Andrew Gruel and Butch Twining, and Councilwoman Gracey Van Der Mark. Councilmen Don Kennedy and Chad Williams were absent for the vote.
In Orange County, the presentation alleged that 21.1% of ballots examined from the 2024 general election were “totally unverifiable,” including discrepancies involving nonexistent voters, invalid addresses, and mismatched Social Security numbers.
The city’s resolution calls for voter verification, ballot security, accurate vote counts, and compliance with election infrastructure requirements to ensure reliable results in 2025.
