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.



Honestly, Iāve never been so unsure if Iām talking to a real human before.
Yeah, they donāt seem to know what they want to say, theyāve been fingerpointing and blaming and trying to reframe their statements as others misunderstanding when really they just werenāt clear.
Just wants to sow confusion if they even realize what they are doing. Because some points are correct, but then there is a load of hogwash, equivocating, and I hesitate to frame it this way because of overuse/misuse but, narcissistic gaslighting tactics.
