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.

    I didnt, you just took it that way. I was talking about voters, social media morons, no politicians on either side. You, among others, want to paint what I said in a different context because you know Im right.

    But hey, if you really are that fucking stupid that you think “No one trusts the system anymore” is me talking about the people IN the system, then you really are one of the dumbest fucker of mothers to even grace the internet with your horrible takes.
