‘Vote by Phone?” – Swalwell’s Plan to Modernize Voting Could Put Election Integrity at Risk Nationwide
23rd November 2025
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) launched his bid for governor of California this week, and he wasted no time floating a plan that could reshape elections far beyond the state’s borders. He told CNN’s Elex Michaelson on Saturday that he wants Californians to vote by phone, a proposal that fits neatly with the left’s push to loosen every guardrail that keeps our elections secure.
“I want to modernize the state,” Swalwell told him. “And, you know, [Newsom] wrote a book called Citizenville, which I read when I was up and coming. He laid out a lot of, you know, great ideas then, and he implemented some of them. And he, you know, was a modernizing force. He’s leaving. And so there is going to be a void. I want us to be able to vote by phone.”
“Vote by phone?” Michaelson asked, clearly surprised by the idea.
“Vote by phone, yeah,” Swalwell confirmed. “If we can do our taxes, do our, you know, our — make our health care appointments, you know, make, essentially, your — do your banking online. You should be able to vote by phone. Make it safe, make it secure. But it’s actually already happening all over the United States.”
Not in any Red state, it’s not.
“Make it safe, Make it secure”? Democrats are fighting against making even voting in person safe and secure.
You’ll go to Hell for lyin’, boy.
