The far-left New York Times says that President Trump’s accusation that California is guilty of vote fraud might undermine public “confidence in [the] November result.”
Oddly, though, the Times writes that as though it’s a bad thing.
Here’s the setup:
“There’s BIG cheating by the Dumocrats in California,” Mr. Trump wrote at 1:05 a.m. on Thursday, claiming without evidence that election fraud worthy of investigation by the Department of Justice had occurred in Los Angeles. “Why the vote counting DELAY???”
Though the declaration by the president did not reflect a new posture — for years Mr. Trump has falsely claimed that American elections are rife with widespread fraud — his focus on a process relatively unique to California could have significant consequences for November.
Here’s the howler of a punchline:
The state is set to play a potentially decisive role in determining which party controls Congress. Because of California’s meticulous review process and heavy reliance on mail ballots, the country may be waiting days or weeks for election officials to count legally cast ballots before control of Congress is established. [emphasis mine]
Oh, yeah, the delay is all about California being “meticulous.”
Florida can count ten million votes in a few hours, but California — the world’s tech capital — has counted only 60 percent of the gubernatorial vote after three days.
