As our own Doug Powers reported on Monday, California Gov. Gavin Newsom was among Democrats having a fit over a Supreme Court decision that opened a path to implementing President Donald Trump’s executive order restricting mail-in voting. The Associated Press reported that "the Supreme Court’s conservative majority didn’t decide the legality of Trump’s order, instead ruling that states who sued did not have the legal right to challenge it."
California is one of those states that sued to challenge Trump's executive order, and Newsom said that following the Supreme Court's ruling, California would sue again.
NEW: Following today’s SCOTUS ruling, California WILL SUE again to BLOCK Trump’s attack on mail-in voting!

Every eligible voter gets a mail-in ballot here — and we’ll fight to keep it that way.
Trump signed Executive Order 14399, “Ensuring Citizenship Verification and Integrity in Federal Elections,” on March 31, 2026, outlining measures to strengthen election integrity.
Newsom: “Every eligible voter gets a mail-in ballot here — and we’ll fight to keep it that way.”

That’s fine. Just follow these simple rules:

From the ruling:
-Turn over a list of every voter getting a ballot
-Put unique serialized barcodes on both the outgoing and return envelopes
If a state refuses, USPS will not deliver those ballots.
Because democrats can’t win without mass mailing ballots out like junk mail to fake people, dead people, illegals and noncitizens.

California has been stealing our votes for years.
First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said the Justice Department would soon announce criminal arrests related to election fraud. Please let that be true.
These measures wouldn’t be necessary if states like California didn’t allow non-citizens to easily register to vote and get mail ballots.

We are actively identifying ineligible citizens on California’s dirty voter rolls and will soon announce criminal arrests related to our… https://t.co/t0wnNAyY9w
"… election fraud investigation."
This is the beginning of the end to the rampant cheating in our elections. Every one of the people who have used the words "safest voting election ever" is guilty of treason. If they were unaware I don't care. They promoted the lies therefore they are accomplices to the treason.

I would think the ones facilitating illegal registration to vote and the undermining of US election integrity would also face arrest ... like one @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom

OMG, I could hug you!!! Please tell me we have some BIG fish on that list!! @USAttyEssayli 🇺🇸

Mess with their sacred fraud and they will try to have a revolution.

Good thing he can’t make it illegal for the federal government to investigate.
.@GavinNewsom is now acting like a rabid dog and it’s delicious.

Many California citizens aren't thrilled by the idea of their tax money funding another of Newsom's loser lawsuits.
