Acting US Attorney signals California election fraud charges coming

Bill Essayli told Glenn Beck charges will be filed after results are certified, as USPS proposes a rule targeting California mail ballots.

If you think the California primary election is over, it's not.

The top federal prosecutor in Los Angeles has told conservative activist Glenn Beck that election fraud charges will be filed in California once the elections within the next two months.

Bill Essayli is acting as the U.S. Attorney for Central California, the Los Angeles region. He says his office is waiting for California election results to be certified, quote, "so we can prove some of the allegations."

And now, the U.S. Postal Service is proposing a new rule that would allow it to refuse to deliver mail ballots in states that don't turn over voter rolls to the federal government. California is one of those states.

The rule was proposed last week. It calls on states to compile lists of mail voters that Postal Service employees would use to screen ballots for eligibility. If states refuse to comply, the agency could refuse to send their mail ballots.

Democrats and voting-rights groups say the proposed rule is clear evidence that the Trump administration is trying to unconstitutionally intrude on state-run elections, the New York Times reports.

Screening mail ballots for voter eligibility would amount to a potentially unconstitutional involvement of the federal government in the administration of elections.

The New York Times reports that California appears to be an early testing ground for Donald Trump allies to stoke doubt about election outcomes they do not like, despite a lack of evidence of widespread fraud.
