NBC News reports that Elder on Monday promoted an "online form to report fraud, which claimed it had 'detected fraud' in the 'results' of the California recall election 'resulting in Governor Gavin Newsom being reinstated as governor.'"
"Statistical analyses used to detect fraud in elections held in 3rd-world nations (such as Russia, Venezuela, and Iran) have detected fraud in California resulting in Governor Gavin Newsom being reinstated as governor," the site claims. "The primary analytical tool used was Benford's Law and can be readily reproduced."
Elder has hinted for weeks that he will not accept the results of the recall election if he manages to come up short, similar to the way former President Donald Trump refused to admit that he lost the 2020 presidential election.
In fact, Elder has already promised a slew of lawsuits to challenge the results of the recall, even if Newsom wins it by an overwhelming margin."
"As Newsom leads California recall polls, Larry Elder pushes baseless fraud claims
A website paid for by Elder's campaign on Monday predicted his defeat and blamed unsubstantiated fraud claims.
Republican Larry Elder appealed on Monday to his supporters to use an online form to report fraud, which claimed it had "detected fraud" in the "results" of the California recall election "resulting in Governor Gavin Newsom being reinstated as governor."
The only problem: On Monday when the link was live on Elder's campaign site, the election hadn't even happened yet. No results had been released. And Elder was still campaigning to replace Newsom as governor."
