Gov.Ā Gavin Newsom on Friday accused the Trump administration of ā€œrigging the electionā€ by dispatching federal poll monitors to five California counties, as voters cast ballots on Newsom’sĀ 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 ā€œensure transparency, ballot security, and compliance with federal law,ā€ ahead of the state’s Nov. 4 special election.

In an interview with KQED’sĀ Political Breakdown, Newsom said the move was a ā€œsetupā€ for the Trump administration to cast doubt on the potential victory of Proposition 50 — a planĀ to redrawĀ the state’s congressional district lines to advantage Democrats.

    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
