Following California's primary election, right-wing figures including Donald Trump made baseless claims of voter fraud, citing slow vote counts. - Trump accused California officials of cheating without evidence.
- House Speaker Mike Johnson and others echoed the allegations. - Slow counting is due to expanded mail-in voting and signature verification, not fraud.
- Experts say the delays are a security measure that ironically fuels distrust. The unfounded claims highlight ongoing partisan tensions over election processes in California.
