LOS ANGELES \u2014 As voters in California continue to vote in the state\u2019s special election on Proposition 50, California Secretary of State Shirley Weber assured voters that the state\u2019s election process is safe and secure despite President Donald Trump\u2019s allegations of voter fraud.<\/p>\n
Weber told “Rush Hour” host Giselle Fernandez about the state\u2019s efforts to ensure voting security.<\/p>\n
\u201cSimply because someone says there\u2019s fraud and deception \u2014 the president and his folks have been saying that for the past six years and beyond since 2016. [They say,] \u2018There\u2019s fraud. There\u2019s deception… We\u2019ve asked where\u2019s the fraud?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve worked very hard to make sure that people get the right information, the correct information,\u201d she added. \u201cWe defended Californians\u2019 right to vote, all Californians, and we continue to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Weber said that they\u2019ve made it easier for people to vote.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have voting boxes across the state for people to put their ballots in,\u201d she said. \u201cWe have a vote by mail, so they are not intimidated if they don\u2019t want to go into places. We have a Voting Bill of Rights in California that protects every person\u2019s right to vote.\u201d<\/p>\n
Weber stated that the state was fine with the president\u2019s plan to send election monitors to California.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have monitors and observers at every election. This is nothing new,\u201d she said, adding that anyone can be an election observer.<\/p>\n
Weber added they are working with Trump\u2019s observers.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey are not here to change anything,\u201d she said. \u201cThey are here to hopefully, to learn about the wonderful election that occurs in California.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LOS ANGELES \u2014 As voters in California continue to vote in the state\u2019s special election on Proposition 50,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":38571,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[5997,7,9,8,16627,6634,13,5999,2998,136,5996],"class_list":["post-38570","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-california","tag-app-local-state-politics","tag-california","tag-california-headlines","tag-california-news","tag-california-prop-50","tag-los-angeles-app-region","tag-politics","tag-socal-what-you-need-to-know","tag-spectrum-news-staff","tag-top-stories","tag-vod"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38570","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38570"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38570\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/38571"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38570"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=38570"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=38570"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
