- Trump labeled California’s Proposition 50 vote a “giant scam” and said universal mail-in ballots are under serious legal and political review.
- California Secretary of State Shirley Weber challenged the allegations, citing court-validated elections and asking for specific evidence as roughly 7 million had already voted.
- The Justice Department previously deployed election monitors to Fresno, Kern, Los Angeles, Orange, and Riverside counties.
- PolitiFact concluded the White House did not prove California’s voting is rigged, noting misused registration data and only one cited fraud case.
