"Despite this (or maybe because of this), President Trump took to Truth Social Tuesday morning to declare without evidence that the Prop 50 California election is rigged. The Unconstitutional Redistricting Vote in California is a GIANT SCAM in that the entire process, in particular the Voting itself, is RIGGED, Trump posted. All Mail-In' Ballots, where the Republicans in that State are Shut Out,' is under very serious legal and criminal review. STAY TUNED!"
"Obviously, the text of this post makes very little narrative sense. The Hill did some follow-up, and admits that they \"reached out to the White House for clarification. They did not hear back. But if one were to attempt to divine some sort of meaning out of Trump's word salad, it seems like his gripe here is mail-in voting. He claims without any form of evidence that Republicans are shut out on mail-in voting, though that may be mainly because Trump encourages Republicans to not vote by mail."
California held an election day for Prop 50, a congressional redistricting measure that was the only item on the ballot. Polls showed Prop 50 leading by about 20 percentage points and expected to pass by a large margin shortly after polls closed. President Trump posted on Truth Social alleging the vote was rigged and calling the process a giant scam, focusing on mail-in ballots and claiming Republicans were shut out. The Hill sought clarification from the White House but received no response. The claims lacked evidence and appeared incoherent, with suggested legal review and possible motivation from anticipated election monitors or impulsive posting.
