As we reported, the Department of Justice is sending election monitors to California and New Jersey at the request of state Republican parties for the 2025 off-year elections.
The DOJ announced Friday that it is planning to monitor polling sites in Passaic County, New Jersey, and five counties in southern and central California: Los Angeles, Orange, Kern, Riverside and Fresno. The goal, according to the DOJ, is “to ensure transparency, ballot security, and compliance with federal law.”
“Transparency at the polls translates into faith in the electoral process, and this Department of Justice is committed to upholding the highest standards of election integrity,” Attorney General Pamela Bondi said in a statement to The Associated Press.
The CA GOP told the DOJ in their letter that they had reports of irregularities in recent elections.

But guess who was not happy with this move to help transparency? The slippery California Gov. Gavin Newsom.
Donald Trump’s puppet DOJ has no business screwing around with next month’s election.
Sending the feds into California polling places is a deliberate attempt to scare off voters and undermine a fair election.

Newsom claims that election monitoring was a “bridge too far” and, somehow, voter “suppression.” How? The US. even sends election monitors to other countries to secure elections. What is it that Gavin is afraid of? Why would election monitors scare voters? What does he think the monitors are going to find out? If they aren’t doing anything wrong, why is he flipping out?
Then, too, those ridiculous hand motions are so distracting. Frankly, they’re worse than those of Senate Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY).
In a great post, Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon squashed Newsom’s narrative, reminding him that election monitors in this country aren’t new.
Lol calm down bro. The @TheJusticeDept under Democrat administrations has sent in federal election observers for decades, and not once did we hear that this was voter intimidation from states such as California. Do you really want to go there? Isn’t transparency a good thing? https://t.co/SsyR8xRu9q

Dhillon also had a little fun with the hand motions too.
I like to move my hands as much as the next person; but there’s usually a hat or sweater at the end of it. What’s happening here….

She does a lot of knitting. That’s what I think she’s referring to there.
But Newsom looks like he’s about to break out into dance steps.
One might think he seemed extra nervous in this video.
