President Donald Trump on Thursday accused âDumocratsâ of stealing Californiaâs elections amid delayed vote counts and said that the U.S. Department of Justice is investigating the situation.
State officials warned that tallying the mail-in ballots for the elections may take weeks, the Washington Times reported.
âThe Dumocrats are at it again! They are trying to STEAL THE GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA PRIMARY, AND THE MAYOR OF LOS ANGELES, PRIMARY, AWAY FROM TWO GREAT REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES. Here we go with the very late and massive numbers of MAIL IN BALLOTS,â Trump posted on Truth Social early Thursday.
Thereâs BIG cheating by the Dumocrats in California
Votes are all tied up. May not be in for weeks. Under investigation by the U.
S. Attorneyâs Office in Los Angeles. Why the vote counting DELAY?
? ? â Trump posted shortly after his first one.
âLook whatâs happening in California, the Dumocrats, right before our very eyes, are stealing the Vote. I hope the Republicans are watching so that they can finally pass THE SAVE AMERICA ACT! â Trump posted Thursday afternoon.
Trump then posted about the Save America Act, noting that it requires all voters to show photo ID; all voters must show proof of U. S. citizenship; restrictions on mail-in ballots; no men in womenâs sports; and no transgender surgeries for children.
Gavin Newsom is defending the insanely slow pace of counting ballots from Californiaâs primary elections on Tuesday as critics claim the process reeks of corruption
Gavin Newsom is defending the insanely slow pace of counting ballots from Californiaâs primary elections on Tuesday as critics claim the process reeks of corruption.
Newsomâs office posted an âexplainerâ video featuring CNN correspondent Elex Michaelson defending the stateâs slow count as baked into California law.
In making that point, Michaelsonâs video appeared critical of Govs. Ron DeSantis of Florida and Greg Abbott of Texasâtwo states that have been recipients of California residents and companies.
He said those leaders are âfocused more on counting ballots quicklyâ than on giving residents âmore time to decideâ who they wanted to vote for at the last minute
The outgoing California governorâs video and statement were blasted online, with many social media users claiming California Dems have created a system that makes it much easier to cheat to their advantage.
âAmericans should expect, at a minimum, to have elections that are free and fair, and results that are delivered promptly. But California is taking its laid-back reputation too far, failing to deliver its election results in a timely manner and creating the perception that they are neither free nor fair,â writes Jarrett Stepman for The Daily Signal on Thursday.
Slothful election results have plagued California for years since it made wholesale changes to its election system in 2016
It has mass mail-in ballots that can be counted post-election and allows for an extremely slow pace of counting,â he continued.
âProponents of the system say this makes their elections more âsecureâ and accessible,â Stepman added.
While elections in California certainly are âaccessible,â as the above video from a California resident demonstrated, claiming they are secure is more than a stretch, per Stepman:
That would cut Raman out of the general election
That would cut Raman out of the general election.
Raman cried on election night and certainly seemed convinced that sheâd lost.
But since election day, new batches of mail-in votes have continued to trickle in for Raman. Even more curiously, electoral prediction markets have swung strongly in her favor.
