All Trump had to do was turn it against them.
After a generation of clamoring that election monitoring was the only way to “protect democracy”, Democrats are turning on it now that they are the ones having their elections monitored.
“This is a preview of 2026. Wake up, everybody,” Gov. Gavin Newsom ranted, claiming that it was a “setup” and that Republicans were “screwing around with the election” and “rigging the election”.
“This is a bridge too far, and I hope people understand it’s a bridge that trying to build, a scaffolding for all across this country,” the prematurely election denying politician warned in an overextended metaphor. “You’re also going to see ICE deployed,” he baselessly claimed. “You’re going to see these masked men from Border Patrol also near voting booths and polling places.”
Newsom knows perfectly well that Justice Department election monitors don’t wear masks and don’t belong to ICE. The dubious institution of election monitors had long been a Democratic preserve for monitoring elections in conservative states and Newsom’s freakout is either bad theatrics by a hollow politician who wants to be president but has nothing to run on or a confession of guilt by a crooked pol.
The DOJ has far more reason to monitor elections in California, which suffers from unprecedented levels of corruption. Over the last decade, 576 California officials have been convicted on federal corruption charges and even the New York Times admitted that this is due to the state’s one-party status. Government corruption was the foundation of the Newsom family fortune courtesy of the equally crooked Brown family, and Willie Brown (no relation) who was accused of corruption served as the patron for the political careers of both Newsom and Kamala Harris: Gavin’s likely primary opponent.
Los Angeles, one of the places where the DOJ intends to dispatch election monitors, has notably suspicious elections, including its mayoral race where Mayor Karen Bass lost twice once the polls were closed, but then ‘won’ based on ballots that arrived later, only to then let part of L.A. burn down. The LA County Board of Supervisors has since seized control of homeless funds after they could not be accounted for. Her deputy mayor of public safety was arrested over a fake bomb threat.
None of this suggests a government that is run so well that it’s entirely above suspicion.
Democrats had insisted on the urgent need for monitoring elections in southern states with a fraction of the corruption and with more competitive elections, but now claim that California and, the mafia bedroom community of New Jersey, should be above reproach when it comes to election fraud.
The election monitors notification was met with threats of resistance from California and New Jersey Democrat officials that seemed more in line with a Southern governor during segregation.
Attorney General Rob Bonta, enmeshed in a scandal involving a local crime family who called him “uncle”, warned that California would monitor the monitors with unknown monitors “I can’t name them” and vaguely claimed that they “will not be allowed to interfere in ways that the law prohibits”.
Acting Attorney General Angela Cai of New Jersey warned local election officials that federal election monitors had no real right to enter polling places or observe elections without first getting authorization from the Democrat federal judges who depend on the same system for their patronage.
The head of the California Dems deemed it “election interference” which is another admission. --->READ MORE HERE

When criminals plan to steal something — whether jewels from the Louvre or a New Jersey election — they last thing they want around is a security camera.
That seems the likeliest explanation for this month’s decision by the Democratic-controlled Passaic County, NJ, Board of Elections to ban cameras for ballot storage areas in next month’s gubernatorial election.
And for its refusal to enforce sign-in and sign-out logs for people who access mail-in ballots.
State GOP Chairman Glenn Paulsen rightly calls this blatant preparation to steal the vote nothing short of “alarming.”
Why else, after all, would the board — whose chairman, John Currie, also happens to be head of the county’s Democratic Party — not want extra security measures that could make it harder to rig voting and boost public confidence that the election was fair?
Especially given Passaic’s history of voter irregularities.
Democrats must fear the race for governor between ex-Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli (R) and Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D) is simply too close to leave up to voters.
For good reason: Ciattarelli steadily whittled down Sherrill’s lead in the polls, with a Quantas Insights Poll this month putting him just 3.3 points behind — well within the margin of error. --->READ MORE HEREFollow link below to a relevant story:
