Feds announce several election-fraud investigations in California

Los Angeles’ top federal prosecutor announced his office is pursuing several election fraud investigations with the FBI as questions swirl over California’s sluggish vote count.

First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said Friday morning that he is working with the Department of Justice “to conduct a comprehensive audit of California’s voter rolls.”

“California’s election system has serious structural vulnerabilities. Universal vote-by-mail with no voter ID requirements creates conditions where fraud can go undetected and unpunished, eroding public confidence,” Essayli wrote on X.

“Without commenting on any specific investigation, my office has multiple election fraud investigations underway in coordination with @FBILosAngeles. We will follow the evidence wherever it leads and prosecute any violations of federal election law to the fullest extent.”
