An ad from a political action committee tied to California Gov. Gavin Newsom claims that a law signed by Florida Gov.

In his latest election fraud spin, former President Donald Trump falsely suggested that 3,600 criminally duplicated ballots were counted in Atlanta’s Fulton County in the 2020 presidential election.
