A California recall election poll worker who had been "previously counseled" to not wear pro-Trump clothing to voting centers was "released" after being photographed at work in clothing celebrating Trump.

Elder has refused to say whether he'll accept the results of the recall election if he loses.

About one-third of voters have said that COVID-19 remains the biggest issue in the state, according to a California exit poll conducted for CNN and other news networks by Edison Research.

"What that message sends to the United States people all across this country, the vote somehow doesn't matter, that the whole thing is rigged," the California Governor said.

According to the Associated Press, Ying Ma, a spokeswoman for Elder, said the campaign wants "every proper vote to be counted."
