Trump DOJ debunks LA mayoral fraud claim tied to AP lag
TL;DR
Claims that a batch of Los Angeles mayoral votes showed zero votes for the Republican frontrunner were debunked after the AP explained it was a lag in its vote-tracker; a subsequent update showed Pratt’s votes alongside Bass and Raman, with LA County officials saying no leading candidate had zero-vote batches. Despite the clarification, Trump continues to push baseless fraud claims, while DOJ and election officials emphasize that California’s vote-counting process is supervised, transparent, and still accepting mail-in ballots.
