Newsom Signs California Law Limiting Federal Access to Election Systems
The law takes effect immediately and bars federal agents from voter rolls and election technology without a court order.
- On Wednesday, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed legislation prohibiting federal agents from accessing voter rolls or election technology without a court order, with the law taking effect immediately.
- Newsom described the law as a response to "legitimate anxiety" about Trump's tactics, warning "we have to be prepared for everything" as the president has previously deployed federal agents over local objections.
- The FBI under Trump seized 2020 general election ballots from Georgia's most populous county earlier this year, while federal authorities also sought records from previous elections in Arizona and Michigan.
- White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson told The Associated Press on Wednesday that Trump is committed to ensuring Americans have confidence in election administration, though critics used the derogatory nickname "Newscum" to dismiss Newsom's actions.
- Trump has encouraged Republicans to redraw U.S. House districts, sparking a national redistricting frenzy where Republicans anticipate gaining 14 seats while Democrats believe they could secure six additional seats in California and Utah.
