Cathy Abernathy, who represents the Republican Party, said voting yes on Prop. "This just strips people's rights away to vote," Romo said. "It's going to take us back 50 years and stop very small portions of people from voting," Romo said. 39, both Abernathy and Romo agreed on the need for greater transparency in the voting process. Romo said Kern County has room to improve in that area.
