INTRO: While most eyes will be on key Senate and House races this Tuesday in the midterm elections … there’s also a race to succeed California Governor Gavin Newsom. The candidates are former Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Bacerra (HA-vee-air buh-SERR-uh) and Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton. Fox’s Max Gorden is in Sacramento with more on how Hilton is making his pitch to voters in the Golden State.
ACK: Fox’s Max Gorden in Sacramento
TAG: It comes as the Justice Department sued California to exclude ballots from around 20-thousand people that it alleges are non-U-S citizens. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals rejected an appeal on Friday … ruling that separating the ballots would negatively impact the upcoming midterm elections.
KEYWORD: Politics, Election
