"Irizarry stated, 'These claims are a desperate attempt to distract from a simple reality: my opponent lacks the experience, judgment and qualifications required for this position.'"
"'It's one thing for an average voter to make this mistake - that's understandable. But if you're working in the office and running to be the chief elections officer in charge of elections, shouldn't you understand the system better than that?' said Canepa."
"'My opponent's misinformation campaign is an attempt to divert attention from legitimate concerns about his own record,' Irizarry added."
Jim Irizarry, the San Mateo County Assistant Chief Elections Officer, claims he mistakenly registered with the far-right American Independent Party, believing it was non-partisan. His opponent, David Canepa, argues that this was not a mistake, highlighting Irizarry's long-term registration. Canepa questions the competence of someone running for chief elections officer who does not understand the registration system. Irizarry defends himself, stating that Canepa's claims are a distraction from his own qualifications and is supported by several supervisors.
