CLAIM: California is still counting votes more than a week after the March 5 primary, a sign the election was rigged.
AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. It is not unusual for California’s vote count to extend long past Election Day and there has been no indication of widespread fraud in this year’s primaries, experts told The Associated Press. Factors that contribute to this lengthy process include the large number of people who vote by mail, provisional ballots and signature verification.
THE FACTS: More than a week since Super Tuesday, social media users are erroneously claiming that California’s ongoing vote count is a sign of nefarious activities related to its March 5 primaries.
“CA now doesn’t know the winner of its Senate primary race 9 days later,” reads one X post that had received approximately 26,000 likes and 11,200 shares as of Friday, the day after it was published. “CA’s elections are RIGGED.”
