Former President Donald Trump has launched a probe into California's vote counting process following delays in reporting results from the state's recent primary elections.

Trump made claims Thursday about the handling of votes in California's gubernatorial and Los Angeles mayoral primaries, citing concerns about the pace of vote counting two days after polls closed. The former president characterized the situation as an attempt by Democrats to interfere with the electoral process.

The delayed vote counting in California is consistent with the state's established procedures for processing mail-in ballots and provisional votes, which can extend the timeline for finalizing election results. California has historically taken several days to complete its vote count due to the volume of mail-in ballots and verification requirements.

NBC News Chief Data Analyst Steve Kornacki provided analysis of the primary race results during coverage on Meet the Press NOW, examining outcomes across multiple states and discussing what California voters can expect for the November general election. KNBC-TV Political Reporter Conan Nolan offered additional analysis specifically focused on the Los Angeles mayoral contest.

The investigation comes amid ongoing national discussions about election procedures and vote counting timelines in various states. California election officials have not yet responded to the probe announcement or provided updated timelines for completing the primary vote count.
