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.

    Making a lot of stupid assumptions in that comment. Pull your head out of your enlightened centrist ass. Your attitude is directly responsible for the rise of white supremacy worldwide.

      No, that would be you doing what you just did. Theres no assumptions, its facts. You just dont like it because youre terrified of being wrong. Youre just like the MAGA morons. Stuck in a cult, and unable to see whats right in front of you.

      You dont deserve AOC, shes too good for the likes you, who back boomers like Pelosi using corruption to keep the younger generations out of power.
