As polls open, Newsom promised lawyers will be safeguarding Californians’ right to vote
Happy Election Day! If you’re looking for updates about voting and results, we’ve got you covered here all day and into this evening.
First up: In-person Election Day voting has begun. Amid worries of federal interference, Gov. Gavin Newsom has said 134 election law attorneys and 1,000 volunteer poll workers will be deployed to guard against voter intimidation and suppression. Another 54 people will be manning a hotline, run by the California Democratic Party, that voters can call to report suspicious activity at the polls: 1-877-321-VOTE.
“We’re not screwing around,” Newsom said last week on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
The lawyers and poll volunteers will be in five areas: the 6th congressional district (Sacramento area), the 13th and 22nd districts (Central Valley), the 45th district (Orange and Los Angeles counties), and the 48th district (San Diego and Riverside counties), according to The Sacramento Bee.
