Biden-Linked Firm Won California Voter Outreach Contract
The California agency that oversees elections has signed a $35 million
contract with a firm linked to Joe Biden’s presidential campaign to produce
advertising to encourage voters to participate in the November election.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — The California agency that oversees elections has
signed a $35 million contract with a firm linked to Joe Biden's
presidential campaign to produce advertising to encourage voters to
participate in the November election.
Under the contract, SKD Knickerbocker, a Washington, D.C.-based public
affairs firm, will help run the “Vote Safe California" campaign, which will
urge people to vote during the pandemic.
Anita Dunn, the firm's managing director, is a senior strategist for Biden's
presidential campaign. The firm's work for Biden is highlighted on its
website, with a headline saying the company is “proud to be a part of Team
Biden.”
The disclosure of the contract comes at a time when a national debate has
been underway over the security of mail-in voting, even though voter fraud
has proved exceedingly rare. “This $35 million expedited state contract
screams conflict of interest," Jessica Millan Patterson, chairwoman of the
California Republican Party, said in a statement.
The Secretary of State's Office, which awarded the contract, said politics
played no role in what companies were considered, the finalists selected or
the eventual decision.
"This is a nonpartisan effort" aimed at Republicans, Democrats, independents
and other voters, said Paula Valle, a spokeswoman for Secretary of State
Alex Padilla, a Democrat who has endorsed Biden.
Valle said Padilla had no involvement with the contract or the review of
contenders — the selection was made by a committee of senior staff members,
including the agency's chief counsel.
The contract, signed on Aug. 13, was first reported by the Sacramento Bee.
California plans to send every registered voter a mail-in ballot ahead of
the Nov. 3 election and will still open in-person voting locations. The
state has long used widespread mail-in voting, but Gov. Gavin Newsom chose
to mail a ballot to every registered voter due to health concerns over the
coronavirus.
Valle said the ad campaign will include television, digital, radio and
billboards.
It's intent is to remind voters that participating in an election during the
pandemic is safe, simple and secure. As part of the contract, the firm will
be responsible for messaging aimed at people voting by mail for the first
time, and those who speak languages other than English.
"There is nothing partisan in that," Valle said.
But Patterson faulted Padilla, saying he should “know better than allowing
Team Biden to run California’s absentee and get-out-the-vote efforts.”
Heather Wilson, head of SKD Knickerbocker’s California office, told the Bee
the Vote Safe campaign is nonpartisan, like much of the firm’s other work. | h******g

群众迫害，大家别为他们留下一丝慈悲之心。
在合法的前提下：
一个人选择不反对邪恶，那么邪恶迫害他的时候，别人也没义务对他进行救助。
一个人选择参加邪恶，那么别人也有权利用邪恶的方式对待他。
