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.
States are. Trump’s “monitors” have no authority to go anywhere where the state tells them not to go. They have no authority to “review” or change anything.
But many of those states are run by Republicans who have every incentive to cheat
That’s something internal to the state, that the state will have to deal with, like “CyberNinjas.” What Trump wants is to directly interfere with election results, using Feds. The law is really clear that the states run their own elections.
I agree. What I’m saying is that Republican run states will allow his fuckery to enable chrating.
Lol “will”. GOP fuckery is the only reason Republicans have held power for the last 30 years.
And we all know Trump and maga are really into following laws and being fair.
