Governor Gavin Newsom signed a series of 13 new bills on Saturday in Los Angeles to protect the California election process from potential interference, The Hill reported. These measures arrive as the state prepares for the upcoming midterm elections, where Democrats are closely watching the actions of the administration of President Trump.
The new laws introduce significant protections for the electoral process. One key measure makes it a felony for any authority figure to order their employees to interfere with the delivery of a mail-in ballot. Another law prohibits the seizure of election records or ballots before the official results are certified.
