Trump campaign: If California voting were 'fair,' Trump would win there
By Oliver Willis -July 15, 2020 3:17 PM
It has been 32 years since Republicans won a presidential election in California.
Jenna Ellis, the senior legal adviser for Donald Trump's reelection campaign, claimed that if voting in California was "genuinely fair" Trump would win the election in that state.
On Monday, Ellis complained in a radio interview about mail-in voting and purportedly "unconstitutional" efforts by the state's Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom to send ballots to voters due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Trump has made numerous baseless allegations about mail-in voting in California as part of his wider campaign attacking it. He has claimed mail-in voting would "lead to the end" of the Republican Party.
When he lost the 2016 election in California to Hillary Clinton by 4.3 million votes, Trump complained that Clinton's huge margin of victory came from "illegal" votes. This was false.
