President Trump sounded the alarm on California on Thursday, telling reporters, “They’re rigging the election,” as counting continues across the state and key races for California governor and Los Angeles mayor remain undecided.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt had surged on election night, taking an early lead over Democratic Councilwoman Nithya Raman and trailing incumbent Democrat Mayor Karen Bass by a slim margin. The two top vote-getters will advance to a runoff if no candidate receives over 50% of the vote.
However, the late-arriving mail-in votes, which are expected to be roughly a third of the total vote, will take days to arrive under California’s lawless vote-by-mail system.
As of 2:47 pm ET, 62% of ballots in the Los Angeles mayor's race had been counted. Only Bass has been projected to advance to the runoff in November, where she will face either Spencer Pratt or Nithya Raman.
Election results showing Karen Bass leading with 35% of votes, followed by Spencer Pratt and Nithya Raman in a competitive race for the general election.
Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton is currently in first place with 27.5% of the vote, but over four million ballots remain uncounted.
Trump, on Thursday, was speaking to reporters about the SAVE America Act, which will end no-excuse mail-in voting and require proof of citizenship to vote, and he highlighted the potentially incoming theft in California.
"You see what's happening in California. They're rigging the election," he said.
"We just don't want cheating in our elections, and you see it happening in California. Those numbers are coming down rapidly. They found a lot of mail-in ballots last night, shockingly. So, we don't want that."

Trump: We put in today, as you know, about Save America, the SAVE America Act. I don't know, someday the Senate and the House will get it done, although I must tell you the house has approved it about three times already. Save America Act.
You see what's happening in California. They're rigging the election. Now, maybe we caught them, and maybe they won't be able to get away with it. They tried with me. They did it successfully the second time. The third time, we made it too big to rig. Too many votes, they couldn't do it. They could only go— They sort of gave up at about 9:07 when they got slaughtered with the votes that came in. But no mail-in ballots, except for illness, disability, military, or travel.
So we're being very progressive, and we just don't want cheating in our elections, and you see it happening in California. Those numbers are coming down rapidly. They found a lot of mail-in ballots last night, shockingly. So, we don't want that.
Trump Says "They're Rigging the Election" in California as Counting Continues
Earlier today, Trump said in a statement on Truth Social, "Look what’s happening in California, the Dumocrats, right before our very eyes, are stealing the Vote," calling on Republicans to "finally" pass the bill.
Look what’s happening in California, the Dumocrats, right before our very eyes, are stealing the Vote. I hope the Republicans are watching so that they can finally pass THE SAVE AMERICA ACT! President DONALD J. TRUMP
In a follow-up post, Trump laid out the items within the bill.
THE SAVE AMERICA ACT!
1. ALL VOTERS MUST SHOW PHOTO I.D. (IDENTIFICATION!).
2. ALL VOTERS MUST SHOW PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP.
3. NO MAIL-IN BALLOTS (EXCEPT FOR ILLNESS, DISABILITY, MILITARY, OR TRAVEL!).
4. NO MEN IN WOMEN’S SPORTS.
5. NO TRANSGENDER MUTILIZATION SURGERY FOR OUR CHILDREN.

Huh.
"Counting" will continue until the democRATs/DemoKKKrats obtain their desired results.
When the SC let the rats steal 20 it gave them an open field going forward and they have run wild ever since.
The Trump admin’s been too focused on foreign policy, but the RNC in particular should have been on this...Nope. MIA!
Well I’ll be damned, didn’t see that coming. /s
WTF did you expect?
“the RNC in particular should have been on this”
The dolt in charge of the RNC is as bad as Ronna Romney.
It’s ridiculous that Scott Presler has not been given that job.
The election in cA will help push the SaVE Act through, I hope
If my calculations are correct (chat got) the third place candidate needs 67% of remaining vote to overtake Pratt.
A real vote count would make that impossible
Just like Obama in Philadelphia and Cincinnati; Biden in the familiar places; this would have to assume zero votes for Pratt in what is counted.
My assumptions may be misguided resulting in bad results.
It’s dead, Jim...............
I do t know about the numbers but cheating is organized by the party. Bass has to think she’s more likely to beat Pratt than Raman, since a surge of the far left could rally behind Raman and push her to a Mamdani-type victory. I think the rat machine wants Pratt
That's the only way to win a major race in California.
He would have been rejected out of hand.............
It’s a referendum on the stupidity of LA voters.
RNC launches multimillion-dollar election integrity push in 17 states ahead of midterms
They should have been launched for the primaries, especially in Red-controlled States.

It is high time that the Civil Rights Division of DoJ send laywers and staff to CA for this fraud. As as starter. Them send in National Guard troops a step behind them. This is NO different from the south denyting voting rights and fair elections to african americans back the day.
raman got into the race to run interference for bass
she needs 37k to do that
think nascar
she is the block to keep pratt off the ballot in the general
The brief/FAQ on the CA mail-in ballot rules:
https://dp.electionresults.sos.ca.gov/frequently-asked-questions#faq-reporting
Current status: https://dp.electionresults.sos.ca.gov/returns/status
Counties have 36 days to “finalize”/certify the results. They can & will report 100% results before that. In the “old days” (pre-COVID) it was mail-in only (postmarked by election day) for hardships/disability/illness with everyone else at a polling place. Results came in mostly by 2-3am the AM after election night with 99+% by the next afternoon. Not so much any more with “mail” ballot collection from lots & lots of drop boxes and some “mail back” ballots arriving up to 7 days after the election.
Need to go back to the old “pre-COVID” way! Waaaay too many ballots “floating around” out there when mailed out to dead/moved out state, etc., etc. people!
