Following California's primary election, right-wing figures and former President Donald Trump have made baseless claims of voter fraud, citing slow vote counting. Experts explain that delays are due to security measures like signature verification.

- Trump accused California of 'cheating' without evidence in a TV interview. - Right-wing influencers and House Speaker Mike Johnson echoed the claims.

- Slow counting is caused by expanded mail-in voting and verification processes. - Experts say these measures are meant to ensure election security, not manipulate results.

The unfounded allegations highlight ongoing tensions over election integrity in California.
