Actor Kelsey Grammer said he believes Democrats relied on changes to election procedures to win recent elections, pointing to comments he attributes to actress Jane Fonda and to his own experience voting in California during the 2020 election.

Grammer said his concerns began after recalling remarks he said Fonda made during the COVID-19 pandemic, when lockdowns and expanded mail-in voting were implemented across the country.

According to Grammer, those comments suggested the pandemic and voting changes were necessary to defeat the sitting president.

“I remember when Jane Fonda was talking about the the lockdown and covid 19. She said, if we can’t figure out how to unseat this president with a pandemic and the stuff that we all the power and the and the mail in ballots, she said it right out loud. She said, well, then we we’re ridiculous. We’re like incomple We’re incapable of winning an election,” Grammer said.

“And she was right that, but that is what they needed to win it.”

Grammer said he did not previously believe Democrats would manipulate election systems but said his view changed after observing voting practices in California.

He criticized the state’s election laws, arguing they allow widespread participation without sufficient safeguards.

“I didn’t used to believe that. I didn’t believe the Democrats would ever resort to that, but in watching it, the vote practice, the voting practices that they’ve implemented here in California to allow anybody to vote, as long as they’re just, you know, walking around and have a heartbeat is staggering,” Grammer said.

“And they have no interest in it being legal, none at all.”

Grammer went further, claiming that voting systems allow ballots to be cast multiple times and even by individuals who should no longer be listed as eligible voters.

“And for those who do not have a heartbeat but haven’t been dropped in the roles, they want them to vote too, and they’ll even let them vote several times,” he said.

Grammer also described a personal experience he said occurred during the 2020 election when he attempted to deliver his mail-in ballot directly to a polling location.

He said he wanted to ensure the ballot was received and counted.

“But I walked into the vote my voting, my polling place for the 2020 election. And I said, Listen, I thought I just bring this in. This is my mail in ballot. I wanted to bring it in and make sure you guys got it,” Grammer said.

According to Grammer, a poll worker informed him that his ballot was not valid after checking the system.

“The girl looked at me. She said she punched a couple of buttons and said, Oh, that’s That’s not legal. Your your ballot is illegal. It’s invalid,” Grammer said.

Grammer said he asked for an explanation but was not given one and was instead offered a provisional ballot.

“I said, why? And she said, No reason. You can fill out a provisional ballot, if you’d like,” he said.

Grammer said he then attempted to present identification to resolve the issue, but was told that accepting identification was not allowed under California law.

“So I reached in my pocket, I still let me give you some ID, and she said, Oh no, no, it’s against the law for me to take ID,” Grammer said.

He said the experience left him uncertain about whether his vote would be counted and reinforced his concerns about the state’s election system.

“So I thought, well, it’s mixed up,” Grammer said.

Grammer said he later received confirmation that the ballot was not counted.

“And I did finally get noticed about a year and a half ago that that ballot was not counted,” he said.

“So maybe I was just a registered Republican.”
