Despite President Trump's assertions that Los Angeles elections are exclusively by mail, the city will have 646 vote centers available for in-person voting during the June 2 primary. The L.A. County registrar-recorder confirmed that voters can choose to vote in person or by mail, countering Trump's claims made during a Fox News appearance. As of Friday, 333,000 mail-in votes had already been cast, an increase from the previous year. Incumbent Mayor Karen Bass is facing a competitive race against councilmember Nithya Raman and former reality TV star Spencer Pratt. In addition, California voters will consider a proposed ballot measure in November that would require identification for in-person voting, a move critics argue addresses a non-existent issue. Trump's administration has pushed for voter ID laws, citing concerns about election integrity, while the state has historically allowed flexible voting options, including mail-in ballots without requiring identification at the polls. The situation reflects broader national debates on voting rights and election security.
