Donald Trump Says California Recall Election 'Probably Rigged' by Democrats
By Darragh Roche
Former President Donald Trump has said the upcoming gubernatorial recall election in California is "probably rigged," less than a week before voters are due to go the polls.
Trump made the claim on Tuesday during an interview with Newsmax's Rob Schmitt. His comments echoed his repeated claims that the 2020 presidential election was rigged against him.
The recall election aiming to remove Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom will take place on September 14 and mail-in voting is already underway—a fact Trump highlighted while suggesting the contest was rigged.
Schmitt asked Trump about the recall election during a phone interview on Tuesday night.
"Well, it's probably rigged," Trump said. "They're sending out all ballots. It's all—the ballots are, you know, mail-out, mail-in ballots."
"In fact, I guess you even have a case where you can make your own ballot," Trump went on.
"When that happens, nobody's gonna win except these Democrats," the former president said. "The one thing they're good at is rigging elections, so I predict it's a rigged election."
However, the former president did not offer any evidence to show that the election was rigged. Trump has made similar complaints about the use of mail-in ballots in the 2020 election.

Trump's comments come after some conservatives claimed in August that the recall election is being "rigged" against Republican radio host Larry Elder through design features of the ballots.
