Trump has hit a new level of craziness. He tweeted that having a polling site in a Democratic California district is voting fraud. His is really showing his idiocy and total unfitness for Office lately and this takes the cake. Trump says Democrats' votes shouldn't count and it's "stealing" an election! Honestly just this one fit of insanity makes him totally unfit for the Presidency. Imagine if Joe Biden said that people in Idaho or Kentucky shouldn't be allowed to vote!
President Trump blasted California’s “rigged election” in a string of tweets supporting Republican Mike Garcia, who could flip the district formerly held by disgraced Rep. Katie Hill back into the GOP’s column in a special election on Tuesday.
...
The tweet came in reaction to news that Los Angeles County had added a last-minute polling place in a Democrat-heavy area — even though Gov. Gavin Newsom has restricted the contest to mostly mail-in balloting in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
In other words, the county is changing the rules at the last minute to cheat and aid in getting more Dem voters to vote - DESPITE prior claims about coronavirus concerns.
The honest thing to do would be to add voting locations in all areas - not just Dem heavy areas, because it creates an unfair advantage.

Your quote says LA county added the polling place, not Newsome. Would need to know why LA county made that decision. Had some people not received mail in ballots? Was there another reason?
Elections are typically run at the local and county level when deciding on things like number of polling places.

You are right - I will correct LA county vs. Newsome.
Certainly you can see the unfairness in what was done with these changes at the last minute.
This is kind of small potatoes after Wisconsin’s recent debacle, no?
No - not small potatoes.
It's an election. It's people's votes.
And as usual, people like the OP misconstrue what Trump says for political points without even trying to understand what the real issue is.
