THAT LAW SAID THERE SHOULD BE TRANSLATIONS AT THE POLLING PLACES.

IT ONLY APPLIES FOR SPANISH, ASIAN, NATIVE AMERICAN, AND NATIVE ALASKAN LANGUAGES.

CALIFORNIA HAS BUILT ON NATIONAL LAW TO INCLUDE MORE LANGUAGES IN SAN DIEGO, THAT MEANS AN ADDITIONAL FOUR LANGUAGES.

>>> VICTOR, THREE OUT OF FOUR AMERICANS THINK THAT THE UPCOMING PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IS ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL TO THE FUTURE OF U.S. DEMOCRACY.

FROM YOUR CORNER, AS HEAD OF THE LINCOLN CLUB, HOW IS THIS ELECTION PLAYING OUT IN THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF YOUR MEMBERS?

>> RIGHT NOW, IT IS VERY POLARIZING.

A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE VOTING EMOTIONALLY WHEN IT COMES TO THIS.

WHETHER YOU ARE A DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN, THESE RACES ARE VERY DEFINITIVE ON HOW IT AFFECTS THE FEDERAL AND LOCAL SIDE.

IT WILL CHANGE EVERYTHING.

>> Reporter: I DID NOTICE, AND THE LIST OF THE LINCOLN CLUB ENDORSEMENTS, THERE WAS NOT ONE FOR PRESIDENT.

WHY?

>> WE ARE SAN DIEGO FOCUSED, THE LINCOLN CLUB HAS BEEN AROUND SINCE 1983, OVER 40 YEARS, THE REASON PEOPLE GO IS BECAUSE OF THE EFFECT AND THE IMPACT WE HAVE IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY AND THAT IS WHAT YOU DO NOT SEE ANYTHING ON THE FEDERAL SIDE.

>> YOU DID ENDORSE REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN DARRELL ISSA EVEN THOUGH HE IS ELECTION THAT WHO REFUSED TO CERTIFY THE 2020 ELECTION RESULTS.

ALLEGING WIDESPREAD VOTER FRAUD.

FALSELY.

DOES THE LINCOLN CLUB BELIEVED THERE WAS WIDESPREAD VOTER FRAUD IN THE 2020 ELECTION?

IF NOT, WHY WOULD THEY ENDORES -- INDOOR SOMEONE WHO BELIEVES THIS?

>> HE HAS BEEN IN THE LINCOLN CLUB FOR OVER A DECADE OR TWO AND HAS DONE A LOT FOR THE LOCAL COMMUNITY IN SAN DIEGO, THE RECENT THE LINCOLN CLUB SUPPORTS AND IS HE IS SUCH A GREAT ADVOCATE FOR PRO-JOBS AND PRO-ECONOMY POLICIES IN SAN DIEGO AND THAT IS WHY WE HAVE ENDORSED HIM.

>> Reporter: DOES THE LINCOLN CLUB BELIEVED THERE WAS VOTER FRAUD IN THE 2020 ELECTION?

>> THE LINCOLN CLUB PRIMARILY FOCUSES ON SAN DIEGO COUNTY ISSUES.

THAT WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN AN ACTIVE DISCUSSION AT THE CLUB WE HAVE BEEN FOCUSED ON MAKING SURE WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE ADVOCATING FOR FREE MARKET PRINCIPLES AND MAKING SURE THERE IS LESS TAXES, INFLATION IS THROUGH THE ROOF AND EVERYBODY IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY IS FEELING THAT.

>> THE ELECTION -- EVERYTHING THAT IS SET FOR BOTH CANDIDATES IS AFFECTED, WHETHER TALKING ABOUT IMMIGRATION ISSUES OR PHYSICAL ISSUES, OR PUBLIC SAFETY EVERYTHING THAT HAS BEEN SET AT THAT LEVEL WILL AFFECT THE ELECTION.

THAT IS WHY IT IS IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE TO BE INFORMED ON BOTH SIDES AND FACT CHECK AND NOT GET THE NEWS FROM ONLY ONE ASSET.

>> SO, IN ADDITION TO ABORTION, THE ECONOMY, CRIME, FLASHPOINTS IN THE SELECTION, LET'S LOOK AT EACH OF THESE ISSUES.

WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON THE ECONOMY?

>> THE BIGGEST THING WE ADVOCATE AS A PRO-JOBS AND PUBLIC ON THE ORGANIZATION IS THAT WE WANT TO REDUCE TAXES AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AND REDUCE REGULATION FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DOWN TO THE LOCAL SIDE.

IDEALLY, WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY ACROSS ALL PARTIES.

>> Reporter: TALK ABOUT THE LINCOLN CLUB'S VIEW ON IMMIGRATION REFORM.

>> THOSE ARE MORE FEDERAL ISSUES.

WE ALL WANT A FAIR PROCESS ENTERING INTO THE COUNTRY.

BUT, OVERALL, THAT IS AN ISSUE THAT DOES NOT PERTAIN TO THE ENDORSEMENTS THAT WE PROVIDE.

THE CANDIDATES HAVE INDIVIDUAL PLATFORMS.

>> CRIME HAS GONE DOWN IN THE FIRST SIX MONTHS IN SAN DIEGO.

AND ACROSS THE COUNTRY, ARE YOU SATISFIED?

>> PUBLIC SAFETY IS IMPORTANT FOR BUSINESSES TO SUCCEED AND WE WANT STREETS TO BE SAFE SO BUSINESSES CAN THRIVE.

>> THREATS AGAINST LOCAL OFFICIALS AND ELECTED OFFICIALS AND OTHERWISE, ARE NOW IN SAN DIEGO.

CIVIL DISCOURSE AT PUBLIC GOVERNMENT MEETINGS HAS BEEN VERY UNCIVIL, WHAT IS THE SOLUTION?

>> PEOPLE NEED TO -- I GIVE ELECTED OFFICIALS -- I GIVE ELECTED OFFICIALS CREDIT FOR TAKING ON THE JOB.

IT IS A VERY DIFFICULT JOB NO MATTER WHAT SIDE OF THE AISLE YOU ARE ON OR WHAT YOU ARE REPRESENTING.

IT IS PUBLIC SERVICE.

I WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT MY PHILOSOPHY IS, I THINK, WHETHER YOU HAVE ONE ARGUMENT OR ONE SIDE, X AND Y, Z IS FIXING SAN DIEGO COUNTY AND X+Y- Z, WE WANT TO MAKE SAN DIEGO BETTER BUT WE HAVE FUNDAMENTALLY FROM WASTE OF HOW WE GET THERE.
