California Secretary of State Shirley Weber says GOP agitators who believe former President Donald Trump’s lie about election fraud are making jobs harder for counties’ voter registrars.Salgu Wissmath / Special to The Chronicle
Californians shouldn’t look at voter suppression as something happening only in faraway states, like Georgia, Texas and Florida. A more subtle, insidious form of the fallout from Donald Trump’s big lie about widespread election fraud in the 2020 presidential race is permeating California.
