Walnut Creek Rep. DeSaulnier Challenges Justice Department Demand Over Ballots
DeSaulnier warns against interference ahead of election after the U.S. Justice Department demands ballot quarantine within 48 hours. U.S. Rep. Mark DeSaulnier, who represents California's 10th Congressional District, has challenged the Justice Department's decision to give several California counties, including Contra Costa, 48 hours to quarantine ballots from more than 400 voters. DeSaullnier argued that the department's actions could jeopardize the Nov. 3 election. He backed Contra Costa County Clerk-Recorder Kristin Connelly's commitment to secure, free, and fair elections and expressed confidence in local election officials following state and federal laws. The demand comes after another federal action involving the election, including a lawsuit by the Trump Administration to block the election certification in Alaska if the Republican candidate for Senate loses the race.
