"We would go into court and we would get a restraining order within hours, because the U.S. Constitution says that states predominantly determine the time, place and manner of elections, not the president."
"We're prepared to do whatever we have to do in California,"
"There's a cadre of attorneys that are already, that are always prepared during our elections to hit the courts to defend anything that we're doing,"
"We have attorneys ready to be deployed wherever there's an issue,"
California plans immediate legal action to block federal attempts to seize control of state voting, asserting that the U.S. Constitution gives states primary authority over the time, place and manner of elections. State authorities are prepared to seek rapid restraining orders and to deploy attorneys statewide to defend election processes. California remains vigilant for federal actions such as seizure of election records or interventions in ballot counting. The state previously resisted a Justice Department request for voter rolls and election teams follow strict procedures to ensure ballot integrity. California anticipates and prepares to counter illegitimate post-election challenges.
