To the editor: Do you agree with those that declare our voting system is rigged or flawed (“Trump, without proof, claims ‘cheating’ in California vote, says federal inquiry underway,” June 4)? Do you suppose that an election has been tampered with when reported outcomes fluctuate within the days and weeks after polls shut? Do you agree with those that cry “stolen!” when elections don’t go their means?

Discover out for your self how thorough the coaching is. If it’s good to see it to consider it, observe the extent of the registrar’s efforts to treatment voters’ errors (like not finishing the certification on their mail-in envelope) so that each one official ballots can be counted. After which inform me how the outcomes are rigged. Please.

To the editor: Was this a shock? To not anybody residing in California.
At the start, our president spews these claims with out proof. Secondly, more often than not, they’re accompanied by childlike habits.
