Letter to the Editor:
As a candidate in the local Burbank City Council election, I receive daily updates on the ballot returns for our city. As of today, 7% of registered voters in Burbank have turned in their ballots.
That means, out of the roughly 70k voters in Burbank, a little under 5,000 of our community has cast their vote.

I like to vote in person. Too many reports of alleged voter fraud based on mailed-in ballots. Video evidence is out there and it’s alarming. Reports of voter fraud cannot be simply ignored. It is safer to vote in person.
