The California primary elections for governor and the mayor of Los Angeles are still not finished. Officials are continuing to count mail-in ballots, which has led to a disagreement over whether the election process is fair.

加州州長與洛杉磯市長的初選尚未結束。官員仍在計票郵寄選票，這導致了關於選舉過程是否公平的分歧。

The current tension is focused on the Los Angeles mayoral race and the race for governor. In the mayoral race, current Mayor Karen Bass has already secured a place in the November runoff. However, the second position is still being fought over by Republican Spencer Pratt and Democrat Nithya Raman. Recent data shows that Pratt's lead is shrinking to about 1% because the latest batches of ballots show a stronger preference for Raman. In the gubernatorial race, Xavier Becerra has moved on to the general election, while Steve Hilton and Tom Steyer are still competing for the second spot.

目前的緊張局勢集中在洛杉磯市長與州長的競選。在市長競選中，現任市長 Karen Bass 已確定進入 11 月的 runoff 決選。然而，第二個名額仍由共和黨的 Spencer Pratt 與民主黨的 Nithya Raman 競爭中。近期數據顯示，由於最新一批選票對 Raman 的偏好更強，Pratt 的領先幅度已縮減至約 1%。在州長競選中，Xavier Becerra 已進入普通選舉，而 Steve Hilton 與 Tom Steyer 則仍在競爭第二個名額。

These results have caused several accusations of systemic fraud. President Donald Trump and Elon Musk have described the slow counting process and the change in candidate rankings—known as the 'blue shift'—as evidence of election manipulation. Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy argued that these delays were caused by law changes made by Governor Gavin Newsom, specifically regarding universal mail-in voting and the lack of ID requirements. On the other hand, Governor Newsom's administration and Secretary of State Shirley Weber emphasized that the timeline is based on legal requirements. They noted that ballots postmarked by Election Day are accepted up to seven days later and may take 22 days for signature verification.

這些結果引起了幾起關於系統性舞弊的指控。總統川普與 Elon Musk 將緩慢的計票過程以及候選人排名的變動（即所謂的「藍色偏移」）描述為選舉操縱的證據。前議長 Kevin McCarthy 主張，這些延遲是由州長 Gavin Newsom 修改法律所致，特別是關於全民郵寄投票以及缺乏身分證明要求。另一方面，州長 Newsom 政府與州務卿 Shirley Weber 強調，時間表是基於法律要求。他們指出，投票日蓋印的選票在 7 天內寄達均被接受，且簽名核對可能需要 22 天。

Different institutions have responded to these claims in various ways. U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli has started several fraud investigations, and the Republican National Committee (RNC) is tracking the process digitally while taking the matter to the Supreme Court. In contrast, Democratic representatives, such as Congressman Ted Lieu, assert that the results are expected because there are many more registered Democrats than Republicans in Los Angeles. While Steve Hilton has criticized the system for being inefficient, he stated that his campaign has not found specific illegal acts that would justify legal action.

不同機構對這些指稱反應不一。美國檢察官 Bill Essayli 已展開多項舞弊調查，共和黨全國委員會 (RNC) 在將此事提交最高法院的同時，也以數位方式追蹤過程。相反，如國會議員 Ted Lieu 等民主黨代表則主張，由於洛杉磯的登記民主黨員遠多於共和黨員，結果在預料之中。雖然 Steve Hilton 批評系統效率低下，但他表示其競選團隊尚未發現足以採取法律行動的具體違法行為。

The final results are expected to be officially certified on July 10, once the remaining ballots have been counted.

預計在剩餘選票計票完畢後，最終結果將於 7 月 10 日正式認證。
