President Donald Trump stated that he played a role in supporting Steve Hilton's campaign for California governor during a rally in Macungie, Pennsylvania. Trump claimed he contacted a U.S. Attorney in California, expressing concerns about election integrity. He suggested that without his intervention, Hilton would not have been successful in the election. Trump also criticized California's election processes, particularly regarding mail-in ballots, and referenced similar concerns about Spencer Pratt's campaign for Los Angeles mayor. California law allows mail-in votes to be counted if they arrive within a week after Election Day, provided they are postmarked by that date.
