Proposition 1 Vote Count Controversy Intensifies

Both sides mobilize to address disqualified ballots as accusations of manipulation arise.

Opponents of Proposition 1 have revived their efforts to challenge the vote count, accusing Governor Newsom of manipulating the final tally by focusing on disqualified Democratic ballots.
As of the latest update, Proposition 1 leads by approximately 20,000 votes with some ballots still to be counted. Both sides are now focusing on 'curing' disqualified ballots.
Newsom's campaign has been criticized for targeting only Democratic voters with disqualified ballots, raising concerns about fairness in the vote count.
If the vote margin for Proposition 1 falls within 1,000 votes or 0.00015 percentage points, the governor can order a state-funded hand recount of all votes statewide.
Both supporters and opponents of Proposition 1 are mobilizing volunteers to assist voters in correcting disqualified ballots, emphasizing the importance of counting every vote.
