Republicans in California furious Trump is not at top of ballot, you have to click to find

A California law is causing confusion for many as supporters of former President Donald Trump are having a hard time finding him on their electronic ballots.

The law in question randomizes the alphabetical order in which candidates are listed on the ballot, then their positions are rotated based on the California State Assembly district. This year’s alphabet was determined to be: IFLTDEHQMJGAYRPCBVXKUNOWSZ.

This means that in some areas, the order will be: Trump, Vice President Kamala Harris, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Libertarian Chase Oliver, and Green Party candidate Jill Stein. When the positions are rotated, Trump is displayed at the bottom of the ballot. In some cases, voters are having to take an extra step to even access Trump’s name on the ballot. Twitch streamer “Darth Caul” reported that he had to use the “More” function to be able to vote for the Republican candidate.

Another voter noted how strange it is to see a major party’s candidate so far down the list of options:

Influencers and others who voted early are sounding the alarm in their respective districts, warning fellow voters that they may have to use the “More” option to find the candidate they’re interested in.
