Gov.Ā Gavin Newsom on Friday accused the Trump administration of ārigging the electionā by dispatching federal poll monitors to five California counties, as voters cast ballots on NewsomāsĀ Proposition 50Ā 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 āensure transparency, ballot security, and compliance with federal law,ā ahead of the stateās Nov. 4 special election.
In an interview with KQEDāsĀ Political Breakdown, Newsom said the move was a āsetupā for the Trump administration to cast doubt on the potential victory of Proposition 50 ā a planĀ to redrawĀ the stateās congressional district lines to advantage Democrats.
But many of those states are run by Republicans who have every incentive to cheat
Thatās something internal to the state, that the state will have to deal with, like āCyberNinjas.ā What Trump wants is to directly interfere with election results, using Feds. The law is really clear that the states run their own elections.
The law is really clear on a lot of things that havenāt stopped or slowed the regime.
I agree. What Iām saying is that Republican run states will allow his fuckery to enable chrating.
Lol āwillā. GOP fuckery is the only reason Republicans have held power for the last 30 years.
