洛杉矶县选举办公室告诉CNN，在唐纳德·特朗普总统本周早些时候声称美国检察官办公室正在调查此次计票后，司法部已于周五上午派出一名律师前往洛杉矶监督选票处理工作。
该县选举登记官发言人迈克·桑切斯在邮件中表示：“我们办公室于昨日晚些时候接到通知，美国检察官办公室将派一名助理美国检察官前往选票处理中心，监督选票处理活动。”
“该人员已于今早抵达，我们向其介绍了公众监督项目的概况，并陪同其巡视了选票处理流程，”桑切斯补充道，该县的选票处理工作对公众监督开放。
特朗普本周多次在没有任何证据的情况下宣称，周二初选计票进度缓慢是民主党“舞弊”的迹象。该州多个关键选区的结果尚未揭晓，而加利福尼亚州素来以计票速度缓慢著称。致力于改进选举流程的非营利组织加利福尼亚选民基金会表示，这在一定程度上是因为总选票中有相当一部分是选举当日投递的邮寄选票。
司法部未立即回应CNN的置评请求。
周五早些时候，由特朗普任命、领导洛杉矶美国检察官办公室的首席助理美国检察官比尔·埃塞利在社交媒体发帖抨击加利福尼亚州的选举制度，称其办公室“正在开展多项选举欺诈调查”。
洛杉矶美国检察官办公室证实已派出一名律师监督计票工作，但未回应CNN有关此举是否与埃塞利在社交媒体上提及的欺诈调查相关的问询。
该县选举登记官办公室此前已为其流程辩护，周四在社交媒体上写道：“我们敬业的工作人员正全力确保每一张选票都得到准确处理和核验，以供计票使用。”
洛杉矶县地区检察官办公室在给CNN的声明中表示，其“未收到联邦政府关于洛杉矶县初选选举计票或舞弊相关刑事不当行为的任何投诉”。

通常情况下，随着更多选票被清点，民主党候选人的支持率会比共和党候选人有所提升，今年的情况也印证了这一规律。这是因为选举当日现场投票的结果几乎会在选举当晚全部公布，而后续清点的选票则以邮寄选票为主。近年来，民主党人更倾向于邮寄投票，而共和党人则更愿意在选举当日现场投票。
加利福尼亚州务卿雪莉·韦伯周四在一份声明中指出，州法律给予选举官员30天时间完成计票和认证流程。
“我们的承诺立竿见影：在加利福尼亚州，每一张选票都将得到正确清点，每一张选票都不会被遗漏，”声明中写道。

First on CNN: DOJ sends prosecutor to observe LA ballot counting amid Trump’s baseless ‘cheating’ claims

The Justice Department sent one of its attorneys to observe ballot processing in Los Angeles Friday morning, the county’s elections office told CNN, after President Donald Trump claimed earlier this week the US Attorney’s office there was investigating the vote counting.
A spokesperson for the county registrar-recorder said “our office was notified late yesterday that the U.S. Attorney’s Office would send an Assistant U.S. Attorney to the Ballot Processing Center to observe ballot processing activities.”
“The individual arrived this morning, was provided an overview of the public observation program, and participated in a walkthrough of the ballot processing operations,” the spokesperson, Mike Sanchez said in an email, noting that ballot processing in the county is open to public observation.
Trump has claimed repeatedly, without evidence, that the slow pace of the count from Tuesday’s primary was a sign of Democratic “cheating.” Several key races in the state have not been called, and California has long had a reputation for being slow to report the results. This is, in part, because a significant number of the total votes come in as mail ballots that are dropped off Election Day, according to the California Voter Foundation, a nonprofit organization that seeks to improve the election process.
The Justice Department did not immediately respond to CNN’s request for comment.
Earlier Friday, First Assistant US Attorney Bill Essayli — a Trump appointee who leads the Los Angeles-based US Attorney’s office — said his office had “multiple election fraud investigations underway” in a social media post that bashed California’s election system.
The US attorneys office in LA confirmed that one of its lawyers was sent to observe the ballot counting, but did not respond to CNN’s inquiry about whether that move was connected to the fraud investigations Essayli touted on social media.
The county registrar-recorder’s office has defended its processes, writing on social media Thursday that its “dedicated staff is working hard to ensure that every vote is accurately processed and verified for counting.”
The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office told CNN in a statement that it had “not received any complaints from the federal government regarding criminal misconduct related to vote-counting or fraud in the Los Angeles County primary election.”
Closely watched races
California this year has two marquee races — the governor’s race and the contest for Los Angeles mayor — that feature prominent Republicans. The top two finishers in each race will advance to the November general election.

Typically, as more votes are counted, Democratic candidates improve their standing compared to Republicans, and that pattern has been borne out this year. This happens because votes cast in person on Election Day are almost entirely reported on election night, while the votes counted later are predominately mail ballots. In recent years, Democrats have been much more likely to vote by mail while Republicans have preferred to vote in person on Election Day.
California Secretary of State Shirley Weber noted in a statement Thursday that state law gives election officials 30 days to complete the counting and certification process.
“(O)ur commitment is immediate: in California, every ballot is counted properly and every ballot is accounted for,” the statement said.
