California Gov. Newsom to deploy election lawyer teams to monitor congressional vote
- On Wednesday, California Governor Gavin Newsom announced deployment of 134 election law attorneys to five congressional districts to monitor vote counting and prevent federal interference in next week's midterms.
- Newsom's move follows the Trump administration's plan to send around 1,000 monitors nationwide and a federal court challenge to stop California from processing up to 20,000 ballots allegedly cast by noncitizens.
- The effort includes 134 attorneys, 800 poll observers, and 54 hotline operators stationed at election offices. Newsom cited new state laws making it a felony to illegally seize ballots or interfere with voting technology.
- Hours before announcing on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, a federal judge rejected a Department of Justice request to set aside 20,000 ballots, stating such action would "wreak havoc" on vote processing underway.
- Attorneys will monitor key congressional districts created by Prop 50, including the 6th, 13th, 22nd, 45th, and 48th districts, as California officials prepare for potential federal intervention during next week's midterms.
