FBI searches Ohio progressive group amid DOJ voter-registration probe

FBI special agents searched the Ohio Organizing Collaborative’s office as part of a Justice Department probe into its voter-registration efforts. A board member accused the Trump administration of voter intimidation, and lawmakers called for transparency as the move fits a broader pattern of election-related actions and Trump’s unfounded fraud claims. The group, formed in 2007 to advance racial and economic justice, also has a past tied to a 2017 fraudulent registration case.

Trump DOJ debunks LA mayoral fraud claim tied to AP lag

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.

Riverside sheriff widens ballot-seizure probe in GOP governor bid

Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, a leading GOP candidate for governor, added 426 boxes of ballot materials to his ongoing ‘fact-finding’ probe into alleged election fraud, expanding a seizure that has drawn pushback from California officials including Attorney General Rob Bonta. The UCLA Voting Rights Project has petitioned the California Supreme Court to require the materials’ return, arguing ballots must remain with the county registrar. Critics warn the investigation could erode trust in elections, while Bianco says warrants were judicially approved and aimed at verifying fraud allegations tied to Proposition 50.

Trump's 2024 Win Sparks Renewed False Claims About 2020 Election Fraud

Conservatives are using Donald Trump's 2024 election victory to claim the 2020 election was fraudulent, but these allegations have been debunked multiple times. Experts and election officials, including Republicans, affirm the 2020 election's security, and courts have dismissed numerous fraud claims. Shifts in voter support between elections are common and not indicative of fraud. Additionally, vote counts for the 2024 election are still ongoing, which may alter current totals. PolitiFact rates the claim that Biden's 2020 votes were a 'lie' as "Pants on Fire."
