Former election official fact-checks Trumps claims of election fraud in California
from Today Explained · host Today Explained
Former election official Tammy Patrick thoroughly dismantled Donald Trump’s claims that California’s elections are "rigged" and full of fraud. The "No Voting Booths" Claim: Trump asserted that California completely lacks physical voting locations and runs entirely by mail. Fact: While California proactively mails ballots to all registered voters, every resident retains the option to reject their mail-in ballot and vote in person at local polling stations. The "Unreturned Ballots = Fraud" Claim: The administration pointed to roughly 10 million unreturned mail-in ballots from past cycles as evidence of an insecure system. Fact: An unreturned ballot simply means a registered voter chose not to cast it. It cannot be counted as a vote, and California enforces rigid signature matching to ensure all submitted envelopes belong strictly to the registered individual.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/today-explained--6659607/support.Don’t miss our latest episodes! follow us to stay updates with fresh news everyday.
