Former U.S. President Donald Trump has criticized California’s redistricting proposal, Proposition 50, which is up for a vote in a special election. Trump called the measure “unconstitutional” and alleged that all mail-in ballots were under “very serious legal and criminal review.” However, he did not provide any specific evidence to support his claims.
The redistricting proposal would temporarily adjust the state’s congressional districts, potentially influencing control of the U.S. House of Representatives. Trump’s remarks on the issue come amid heightened scrutiny of voting processes and election integrity, particularly regarding mail-in ballots. He did not specify which entities were conducting the alleged reviews of the ballots.
California voters cast their ballots on Proposition 50 on Tuesday, which could have significant political implications. Despite Trump’s accusations, there is currently no verified evidence to suggest widespread issues with the state’s voting procedures.
The California redistricting plan, alongside ongoing election challenges, remains a key point of contention in U.S. politics.
