California Ballots Found Hidden in Library Safe Days After Elections
by David Hawkins
Questions surrounding California’s election system intensified this week after O’Keefe Media Group released a photograph it says shows multiple ballots stored inside a Los Angeles County library safe several days after polls closed in the state’s primary elections.
The image, which O’Keefe Media Group says was taken Friday inside Stevenson Ranch Library near Santa Clarita, allegedly shows ballots being stored in the facility’s safe alongside other items typically kept there, including cash.
The revelation comes as California once again faces criticism over its lengthy vote-counting process and heavy reliance on mail-in ballots, which often results in races remaining unresolved days after Election Day.
Ballots Found Inside Library Safe
James O’Keefe shared the image on social media Tuesday, saying it had been provided by a source inside the library.
“Multiple CA Ballots Found Inside LA County Library,” O’Keefe wrote.
“We have just received this picture from within Stevenson Ranch Library near Santa Clarita, CA.
“The photo allegedly shows multiple ballots inside of the libraries own safe, this is where the library keeps other things such as cash.”
According to O’Keefe, the photograph was taken three days after voters cast ballots in California’s primary election.
“We are hopeful these ballots made it to the right processing centers,” he added.
O’Keefe Media Group encouraged individuals with information regarding election irregularities to contact the organization.
The group did not state whether the ballots were ultimately delivered to election officials or provide additional details regarding their status.
