Now California Will Bring In State Election Monitors to Monitor Trump's Federal Election Monitors

"We are just about a week out from the November 4 California vote on Prop 50, which would redraw California's congressional districts in hopes of blunting President Trump's notorious Texas redistricting. Though there is not much suspense around Prop 50, which is up by 20 percentage points in the polls, and will almost certainty be declared a landslide victory for Governor Newsom's effort about one minute after the polls close next Tuesday at 8 pm PT."

"Though there was suddenly some controversy around Prop 50 at the end of last week, when Trump's Justice Department declared they would send election monitors to California polling places for that election, because Trump still genuinely believes his 2020 election conspiracy theories involving Chinese bamboo, evil corrupt voting machines, and whatever else Mike Lindell told him at Four Seasons Total Landscaping."

"But not to be outdone, California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced Monday that he would bring in state election monitors to monitor Trump's federal election monitors. They're not going to be allowed to interfere in ways that the law prohibits, Bonta said during a news conference Monday. We cannot be naive. The Republican Party asked for the US DOJ to come in. Bonta's assessment there does check out. The Associated Press reported last week that the California Republican Party requested the federal election monitors."

California voters will decide Prop 50 on November 4, which would redraw the state's congressional districts to blunt Texas redistricting. Polls show Prop 50 leading by twenty percentage points and a likely landslide victory when polls close. The Justice Department announced plans to send federal election monitors to California polling places for the election. California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced state election monitors will observe the federal monitors and said they will not be allowed to illegally interfere. The California Republican Party requested federal monitors, according to the Associated Press. Bonta warned that preparations are underway for claims the election is rigged and cautioned about future escalation.
