CA goes to great lengths to confirm the legitimacy of every vote. With so many people choosing to vote by mail, an accurate count takes time. We would like a faster vote count. But Trump’s allegations are baseless. In fact a Republican beat a large field to make the November ballot for governor

Trump ends his speech with a call to pass his "No. 1 priority," the SAVE America Act. He says "the only reason you wouldn't do it is you want to cheat, because your policies are so bad and your candidates are so pathetic that you can't get elected any other way."

TRUMP: Claimed China obtained 220 million U.S. voter files and accused intelligence officials of concealing election threats. FACT: U.S. intelligence concluded that no foreign actor attempted to alter voter registration, ballot casting, vote tabulation or the reporting of 2020 election results.

TRUMP: Pointed to California’s slow vote count while claiming U.S. elections are vulnerable to interference. FACT: California’s timeline is the result of state laws that give it time to count millions of votes before certification. A slow count is not evidence of fraud or interference.

TRUMP: Claimed a 2020 voter registration drive in Michigan was an example of large-scale voter fraud. FACT: Any fraudulent registrations tied to the event were voided before the 2020 election, and authorities have said it didn't lead to a single fraudulent vote being cast.
