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.
I think saying this kind of stuff is SO dishonest. Every election you can find people saying the election was stolen. But that is not even remotely close to what the Republicans did in 2020.
Every presidential nominee has conceded except for Trump. Even Al Gore, whose election literally was stolen by the Republicans in the Supreme Court, still conceded for the benefit of democracy.
So please stop spreading this kind of stuff. It only normalizes what Trump did and will do in 2028.
I dont give a shit what you “think”. Im telling what I saw, and what continues to happen. I mean, ffs, youre doing it right now! Pushing this idea that hes going to cheat in 2028. Thats your current narrative. Just like it was, for a lot of online dems, a lie that he won. You all did the same in 2016, when you werent happy that he won.
MAGA might be worse, a lot worse, but youre “team” is still doing shit. So you, yes you, stop spreading this kind of stuff.
