Newsom to announce plan to make ballot seizures a felony in July Fourth speech
The address centers on Trump’s longstanding attacks on mail-in voting and his recent criticism of California’s lengthy vote-counting process, arguing against the belief that delayed results are evidence of widespread fraud or a corrupt election system. After the state’s June 2 primary, Trump blasted the state’s extended ballot-counting process as evidence of a “crooked” system and has continued to portray mail voting as vulnerable to fraud despite repeatedly casting absentee ballots himself in Florida. His administration has also sought to restrict mail voting nationally, though key portions of those efforts have been blocked in court.Advertisement “The core of our democracy, the thing that separates us from a monarchy or a dictatorship, is the fundamental right to vote,” Newsom plans to say, according to excerpts.
