Councilmember Carol Marques stated, "The only thing we want is free, fair elections. To me it was just common sense," emphasizing the need for legitimacy in the electoral process.
The nationwide group United Sovereign Americans has claimed that millions of illegitimate votes were cast in the 2022 election, alleging boards of elections failed to secure it.
Despite the initial proposal's focus on election legitimacy, Councilmember Marques sought to reframe the resolution to remove unfounded claims, focusing instead on supporting properly held elections.
During the heated council meeting, proponents insisted their resolution was about ensuring free and fair elections, while opponents viewed it as undermining the election process's legitimacy.
