Swastikas painted on trees outside early voting sites

Polling places are on edge after a stretch of trees were spray painted with swastikas right near an early voting site in Orange County. We've blurred all of them out right here. As Fox 35's Marie Ettinger explains, local leaders are calling this an act of hate. The Orange County Supervisor of Elections says she and a team were going around to all the different early voting sites when they noticed the swastikas painted on these trees right by the Taft Community Center. Now the county was able to come in today and cover them up, but the supervisor says they still don't know who did this or how long those swastikas were actually on these trees before she was able to intervene. The Orange County Sheriff's Office says they are investigating and the supervisor told me today she does not want this to discourage voters. She feels symbols of hate like this are not welcome anywhere but especially not by an early voting site. We were all shocked as we drove past it and we're like this this is not acceptable. Voter intimidation is unlawful and we will protect people's right to vote free of threats or intimidation and we've been working really hard to make sure that all of our voting locations are welcoming and safe places to come vote. The Orange County Sheriff's Office said they don't have many details to share just yet because this is an active investigation. In Orange County, Marie Ettinger, Fox 35 News.
