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.
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.
