Quote:California Governor Gavin Newsom on Monday threatened anyone who ‘interferes’ with California’s ballot counting in an unhinged video message on the eve of the midterm elections.

Newsom slammed President Trump and warned that poll watchers who ‘meddle’ in California’s ballot counting will be hit with felonies.

“Donald Trump is trying to throw out 20,000 California ballots and intimidate election workers. Let me be clear, if you interfere with our elections, California will come for you. No presidential pardon will save you,” Newsom said.

“If you interfere with our voters, you will be prosecuted with a felony. If you tamper with our ballots, you will face justice. It doesn’t matter who gave the order. Meddle in California’s elections and California will come for you,” Newsom said.

Newsom continued, “And don’t count on a pardon. The President can’t pardon you out of California justice.”

“Two months ago I signed a law giving our state prosecutors new tools to make sure of that. We saw this coming. We passed 13 election protection bills. We sent $40 million to counties to hire staff and count ballots faster,” Newsom said.

Newsom warned that his election security task force is watching for “misinformation and threats at the polls.”

Gavin Newsom said 135 lawyers will be on standby on Tuesday to hunt down anyone who challenges California’s corrupt elections.
