Trump Criticizes California's Vote Counting Delay After Primary Elections

President Donald Trump criticized California for the delay in reporting the results of the recent primary elections during a roundtable event in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. He suggested, without providing evidence, that the delay was indicative of election rigging. Trump noted that California, with a population of approximately 39 million, was taking longer to count votes compared to Spain, which has a population of about 48 million. He argued that this situation highlighted the need for Congress to pass the Save America Act, which would require voter ID and proof of citizenship for voter registration. Many races from the primary elections remain undecided, including the governor's race between Steve Hilton and Xavier Becerra. According to California election law, votes can be counted if they arrive up to a week after Election Day, provided they are postmarked by Election Day and the counting process concludes within 13 days.
