Trump's attack on California voting is false, and a bit funny

Key Points:

• The U.S. Department of Justice revealed that only 28 people in California, out of about 23 million registered voters, have been identified as potentially voting illegally, undermining claims of widespread voter fraud.
• Nationwide, 169 people have been federally charged with illegal voter registration or voting, a rate so low it disproves the narrative of a large-scale election-stealing conspiracy.
• The federal government is suing California over a list of 20,000 suspected illegal voters, demanding the state change laws and discard ballots, but the data used is considered unreliable and likely targets naturalized citizens.
• Critics argue that these actions amount to voter suppression, particularly intimidating naturalized citizens and communities with mixed immigration status, potentially deterring legal voters amid tight midterm races.
• The ongoing prosecutions and lawsuits contribute to conspiracy theories about election fraud, fueling claims of stolen elections despite a lack of evidence for widespread illegal voting.
