California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) will introduce new legislation making ballot seizure before they are counted and certified by a state or county official a felony. In a July 4 recorded speech, Newsom was not shy about who the law targets.

“We will not be his victims,” Newsom said. “We will be the wall he cannot get past, because we believe that once an election is decided, the winner governs for everyone. That’s the architecture of American liberty.”

The “he” refers to President Donald Trump, who has spearheaded a movement of election skepticism through repeated — and repeatedly proven false — claims that the 2020 presidential election was rigged.

    Ok but everything Trump does is illegal. Nobody enforces the laws on the books so what is one more law going to do?

      This is at the state level. Trump and the federal government can’t do shit about state charges. Unless of course your last name is Polis, you’re the Governor of Colorado, and you like sucking Trump’s dick for funsies, then you’ll get on your knees for Trump. California ain’t doing that.

      This is about having the goons enforcing Trump’s orders arrested.
