President Donald Trump on Tuesday said California’s redistricting attempts are not only unconstitutional but also part of a statewide process that is “rigged” against Republicans — and that those procedures were under review. While the president indicated that California’s processes were under review, he did not elaborate on which entities might be taking a look at the state’s rules, which allow any registered voter to vote by mail.
“All ‘Mail-In’ Ballots, where the Republicans in that State are ‘Shut Out,’ is under very serious legal and criminal review,” Trump warned in a Truth Social post. “STAY TUNED!” Trump on Tuesday argued that Proposition 50 represented just the latest effort to curtail Republicans’ power in the state.
“The Unconstitutional Redistricting Vote in California is a GIANT SCAM in that the entire process, in particular the Voting itself, is RIGGED,” Trump said.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but during a press briefing on Tuesday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt claimed that fraudulent ballots were being mailed in with names of “illegal aliens who shouldn’t be voting.” Now, she said, the White House is considering taking unilateral action to ban mail-in voting.

There is ZERO about what the Executive Branch's role is other than CARRYING OUT THE LAW THAT CONGRESS PASSES AND A PRESIDENT SIGNS (or allows to go into effect if not signed or vetoed within 10 days after receipt).
