"They do mail-in voting all over the place, which is rigged anytime, Trump told the co-hosts of Fox & Friends, adding: Jimmy Carter, they had a commission. He said, Anytime you have mail-in voting, it's a crooked election. Okay, and they've got to stop. But I say, so I can't really say the ballot box, because in some cases, like California, doesn't have ballot boxes."
"Other social media users, including many California voters, were quick to react to the blatantly false comments: Unlike that nonexistent valve that sends Pacific Northwest water to LA, there are ballot boxes and the system works. In Washington state, the voters created the system. Why doesn't the Washington State GOP try to get rid of it? Oh, and Trump votes by mail. https://t.co/W6vQHVY4UI Gary Crooks (@GaryCrooks) September 12, 2025"
President Donald Trump claimed mail-in voting is rigged and asserted that California lacks ballot boxes after local officials mailed millions of ballots. He said mail-in voting produces crooked elections and referenced a commission during comments on Fox & Friends. California Gov. Gavin Newsom called the claim an outright lie. Rep. Zoe Lofgren provided images and examples of numerous drop-off locations and in-person voting sites across Santa Clara County. Social media users and voters pushed back with examples from other states that use mail ballots successfully and noted that Trump himself votes by mail. The comments intensified debate over election integrity and accuracy of public claims.
