Newsom Signs Bills Meant to Prevent Trump’s Interference in Midterms

Governor Gavin Newsom signed thirteen bills in Los Angeles to safeguard California's election process against potential interference from President Trump. This legislation aims to prevent dictatorial control over the November midterm elections by boosting security for voting systems and protecting voters' ability to cast ballots. The measures establish new felony penalties for seizing election records or ballots and restrict specific law enforcement activities near polling places to ensure transparency and limit interference with election administration.
