California Attorney General Rob Bonta has responded to President Trump's recent executive order titled "Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections." In a statement, Bonta criticized the order, asserting that it seeks to impose unauthorized voting restrictions.
"Yet again, President Trump is grasping for straws. He cannot, by executive order, impose these voting restrictions. He lacks that authority — period," stated Attorney General Bonta. He emphasized his office's readiness to hold the president accountable and maintained that elections across the United States are secure. "No matter how he tries to spin it, elections in California and across the country — in blue and red states alike — are secure. Voter fraud is largely a figment of his imagination."
Bonta's comments reflect ongoing tensions over election integrity and federal authority concerning voting regulations.
