Emails: Judicial Watch YouTube Video Censored at Request of California Government Officials
Judicial Watch announced today that it received 165 pages of new documents from the office of the Secretary of State of California showing the office directly emailing Google employees to remove a Judicial Watch video on election integrity. The video titled, "ELECTION INTEGRITY CRISIS Dirty Voter Rolls, Ballot Harvesting & Mail-in-Voting Risks!" was removed within three days. The censored video featured Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton discussing vote-by-mail and a Judicial Watch lawsuit settlement that resulted in Los Angeles County agreeing to remove up to 1.6 million inactive voters from its voting rolls.
The release also reveals an email exchange wherein Sam Mahood, Press Secretary of the Secretary of State's office, reaches out to Kevin Kane, of the Public Policy Department at Twitter, to have a tweet removed after Twitter had found it to have not been in violation of their terms of service, and a Google form filled out by the consulting firm that was advising both California and the Biden Campaign which flagged two tweets that criticized the California election.
In an email exchange beginning on September 24, 2020, Social Media Coordinator Akilah Jones of the California Secretary of State's office contacts Civics-outreach@google.com and copies four Google employees with the subject line, "REPORT VIDEO: ELECTION INTEGRITY CRISIS Dirty Voter Rolls, Ballot Harvesting & Mail-in-Voting Risks!"
Jones' email falsely characterizes Judicial Watch video in her email:
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, Akilah.
The next day, on September 25, 2020, Andrea Holtermann, a Google employee, replies to Jones:
Hi Akilah,
Thanks for reaching out. We will look into this and get back to you as soon as we can.
Best,
On September 27, 2020, Google/YouTube confirms it censored the video:
Hi Akilah,
Circling back on this. 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.
Best,
In an email exchange beginning on January 15, 2020, Sam Mahood, press secretary for the California Secretary of State's office, forwards an email to Twitter Public Policy Department's Kevin Kane asking that he review a tweet that Twitter support had determined to not be in violation of their terms of service. Mahood copies Deputy Secretary of State Paula Valle and Chief Counsel Steve Reyes on the email.

Facebook, Google, Twitter to testify on election security
May 20 (UPI) – Elections officials and leaders at tech companies Facebook, Google and Twitter are set to testify later this week at a House Committee on Oversight and Reform hearing on election security, lawmakers announced Monday. The committee said Wednesday's hearing "will examine the security of the nation's election systems, including the government's response to ongoing attempts by malicious actors to interfere in our elections, influence public opinion and undermine U.S. electoral processes." The hearing also will evaluate the role of state and local governments, and private sector partners like Facebook, Google and Twitter, to protect elections systems, infrastructure and technology.
The tech companies likely will face questions about what they've done in the wake of evidence that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election by using social media platforms. Witnesses expected to testify at the hearing include Christopher Krebs, director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency in the Department of Homeland Security; Adam Hickey, deputy assistant attorney general in the National Security Division of the Department of Justice; Christy McCormick, chairwoman of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission; Bill Galvin, Massachusetts secretary of state; Richard Salgado, director of Law Enforcement and Information Security at Google; Nathaniel Gleicher, head of Cybersecurity Policy at Facebook; and Kevin Kane, public policy manager at Twitter.
