Just last week, Kelly Wong became a member of San Francisco’s Election Commission. Originally from China, Republicans are obviously taking issue with her being put into this position. Since coming to America in 2019, she has been an immigrant rights activist for the Chinese for Affirmative Action group.
“I'm just one of the many immigrants striving to make a difference,” Wong said. “If I can do it, you know, you can do it too.”
What an inspiring statement! The GOP has obviously been unable to explain why she isn’t capable of doing this job. Instead they’ve simply obsessed over the fact that she is noncitizen overseeing the election process — as if a noncitizen is incapable of understanding the rules in place/improving election access/raising the integrity of elections.
