  • Democrats
  • newly sensitive to perceptions of being soft on crime
  • this week faced criticism from Republicans who noted that the legislation doesn't explicitly prohibit nonprofits from using the money to help undocumented immigrants with criminal histories.

The article from Politico's California Playbook PM discusses the ongoing debate over the allocation of $12 million in state funds intended for "Trump-proofing" California's election systems. This money was set aside to protect against potential disruptions or changes in federal election policies under a Trump administration. However, as of January 30, 2025, the funds have not been disbursed, leading to frustration among election officials who are eager to enhance cybersecurity, voter registration, and other election integrity measures. The delay is attributed to bureaucratic hurdles and the need for clearer guidelines on how the money should be spent. Meanwhile, California Secretary of State Shirley Weber has been pushing for the funds to be released, emphasizing the urgency given the potential for election interference. The article also touches on the broader political context, including reactions from both Democratic and Republican legislators, with some Republicans questioning the necessity of such measures, while Democrats argue for the importance of safeguarding democracy.
