Egged on by Trump, right-wing ecosystem makes baseless claims of California voter fraud
Right-wing figures and Donald Trump promoted unfounded claims of voter fraud in California after the primary election, despite no evidence. Republican candidates initially led in vote counts but later saw their positions shift as more ballots were processed. Trump accused California officials of 'cheating' during a 'Meet the Press' interview, while others, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, echoed baseless allegations of election irregularities.
