Newsom Says Trump Is ‘Rigging the Election’ With Federal Poll Monitors | KQED
www.kqed.org
In an interview with KQED, Gov. Gavin Newsom warned the Trump administration is laying the groundwork to question the results of California’s Proposition 50 vote.

Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday accused the Trump administration of “rigging the election” by dispatching federal poll monitors to five California counties, as voters cast ballots on Newsom’s Proposition 50 redistricting measure.

The Department of Justice announced Friday that it would deploy personnel to polling sites in Fresno, Kern, Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside counties to “ensure transparency, ballot security, and compliance with federal law,” ahead of the state’s Nov. 4 special election.

In an interview with KQED’s Political Breakdown, Newsom said the move was a “setup” for the Trump administration to cast doubt on the potential victory of Proposition 50 — a plan to redraw the state’s congressional district lines to advantage Democrats.

    Harris is DID NOT say the election was stolen. She did the exact opposite of what Trump did. She conceded and acknowledged result of the vote.

    On Nov 6 she said:

    … we must accept the results of this election. Earlier today, I spoke with President-elect Trump and congratulated him on his victory. I also told him that we will help him and his team with their transition and that we will engage in a peaceful transfer of power.

    A fundamental principle of American democracy is that when we lose an election, we accept the results. That principle as much as any other distinguishes democracy from monarchy or tyranny, and anyone who seeks the public trust must honor it.

          I mean very different league, but there are studies reports noting some extreme irregularities in several key cities. IE juristictions where hundreds voted for the democratic senator, but zero votes for harris etc…

          but yes obviously the key huge thing to point out is democratic represenatives and candidates. aren’t loudly screaming those on the news and twixxer etc… to encourage mass civil unrest
