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.

    Wait, it already wasn’t?!? I pretty sure it would basically be something like treason since you’re fucking with an election, no?
