Top House Republican issues 'call to arms' about Dems trying to 'steal' Calif. election; Trump joins effort
Fox News, May 9, 2020

The leader of the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) sent a memo to all House Republicans Saturday with an "urgent call to arms" that Democrats are trying to "steal" Tuesday's special election for California's 25th Congressional District seat, Fox News has learned.

President Trump echoed the concerns of NRCC Chairman Tom Emmer, R-Minn., on Twitter Saturday and blasted the "rigged election" in the northern Los Angeles County district.

"Governor [Gavin Newsom] of California won't let restaurants, beaches and stores open, but he installs a voting booth system in a highly Democrat area (supposed to be mail in ballots only) because our great candidate [Mike Garcia] is winning by a lot. CA25 Rigged Election!" Trump wrote.

Tuesday's special election is between Republican Mike Garcia and Democrat Christy Smith. The winner will fill out the term of freshman Rep. Katie Hill, D-Calif., who resigned in October 2019 amid a "throuple" ethics scandal.

Garcia and top Republicans are crying foul about the county's decision to open up a new in-person voting center Saturday in a more Democratic area of the district. They argue Democrats pushed for the extra voting location after seeing mail-in ballot returns were favoring the GOP.

Democrats, however, have blasted Trump and the GOP for trying to restrict voting access. They argue the additional early voting center was needed so voters in the diverse city of Lancaster wouldn't be disenfranchised.

There's currently a total of 10 voting centers open for the special election.

Fox News exclusively obtained a memo sent by Emmer to House Republicans on Saturday urging them to "raise hell" about the new voting center.

More About the Person Who Single-Handedly Decided to Shake Up California's 25th Congressional Special Election
Townhall, May 9, 2020

Democrats are clearly worried about losing seats, especially in the House of Representatives, after Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) allowed an impeachment witch hunt to take place. Democrats have to work to keep every seat, and right now their focus is on California's 25th Congressional District, the seat that's been vacant since last fall when Rep. Katie Hill resigned after the House Ethics Committee launched an investigation into her personal life. She was allegedly having an affair with her Legislative Director, Graham Kelly, and a throuple relationship with a female campaign staffer.

In a last-minute decision, the Los Angeles County Democratic Party asked the registrar to add an additional polling location in the city of Lancaster, citing concerns about the need to "ensur[e] that every voter has the opportunity to exercise their right to vote, change their voter registration and more, especially in communities of color."

Los Angeles County Recorder, Dean Logan, agreed with the decision and established an additional polling location in Lancaster. Looking deeper into his Twitter history, it's not all that surprising. After all, Logan is a Democrat himself – and someone who supports Joe Biden. Of course, he would do everything in his power to advance his party's cause.
