Election Vote Counting Takes Center Stage in California

Bonta said California officials have found no widespread fraud and warned that false claims could disrupt upcoming elections.

  • California Attorney General Rob Bonta rejected President Trump's claims that the state's elections are "rigged," emphasizing that ballot counting remains transparent one week after the primary.
  • Because California relies heavily on mail-in ballots, officials must scan bar codes, remove envelopes, and check signatures against files, naturally extending counting timelines beyond Election Day.
  • Bonta is co-leading a multistate lawsuit challenging Trump's latest executive order, which the attorneys argue unlawfully restricts voter eligibility and mail-in voting to federally preapproved lists.
  • Warning that "the danger is the action that follows the lie," Bonta expressed concern about potential deployment of ICE to polls or interference with the U.S. Postal Service in November.
  • California Republican Congressman Jay Obernolte proposed the "Election Results Accountability Act," which would require states to process at least 90% of ballots within three days of polls closing.
