Judicial Watch has filed a lawsuit against California's Secretary of State
- The lawsuit alleges that the California official and her office violated Judicial Watch's First Amendment and other civil rights.
- On Sept. 22, 2020, Judicial Watch posted a video titled "ELECTION INTEGRITY CRISIS Dirty voter rolls, Ballot Harvesting & Mail-in-Voting Risks!" on their YouTube channel
- In the video, Tom Fitton discusses the vote-by-mail processes, changes to state election procedures, ballot collection, and states' failures to clean up their voter rolls.
The Office of Elections Cybersecurity (OEC) communicated with YouTube and/or Google to have Judicial Watch’s video taken down.
- On Sept. 24, 2020, OEC Social Media Coordinator Akilah Jones emailed "civics-outreach@google.com" and copied four YouTube employees with the subject line, "REPORT VIDEO: Election Integrity Crisis Dirty Voter Rolls, Ballot Harvesting & Mail-in-Voting Risks!"
- In the email, Jones wrote:... Hi YouTube Reporting Team,. I am reporting the following video because it misleads community members about elections or other civic processes and misrepresents the safety and security of mail-in ballots. Thank you for your time and attention on this matter.. All the best, Akikilah..
On September 27, 2020, YouTube and/or Google's Holtermann confirmed to Jones that Judicial Watch's video had been removed.
- Thank you for raising this content to our attention, this has been removed from the platform for violating our policies. Please do not hesitate to reach out if there are any other questions or concerns you may have.
The lawsuit seeks to establish that Weber and OEC violated Judicial Watch's First and Fourteen Amendment rights, as well as civil rights violations under the California constitution.
- Smoking gun documents show California government officials, who were being advised by the Biden campaign PR operation, caused YouTube to censor a key Judicial Watch video just before the 2020 election.
