BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KBAK/KBFX) — The Kern County Grand Jury on Thursday made an effort to dispel the notion that the election could be rigged.
Donald Trump has repeatedly warned of a "rigged" election.
The Grand Jury recently met with election officials and said there's no way to rig a vote count in Kern County.
"Every possible scenario that was asked was met with a complete and logical process to prevent fraud," reads a news release from the Grand Jury.
Voting machines aren't connected to the Internet, and voting machines can't be programmed to select a particular candidate because of the names appear in different orders on different ballots.
Signature-matching prevents fraud with mail-in ballots, according to the Grand Jury.
The vote counting process is recorded on video to prevent wrongdoing, and staffers from both political parties are invited to observe the process.
