The arithmetic holds: 28 is about 0.0001% of California's roughly 23 million registered voters, matching the official registration report and multiple officials' statements. The sources say 28 people were charged, with 11 arrested on the first day and the rest expected to be taken into custody, so 'arrested' is a loose but acceptable description.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.
What was said
… I never voted. I don't know why you're arresting me." So we'll see what they can prove and what they can't, but that is a drop in the bucket of the 23 million voters. It's 0001%, and it is completely consistent with what I've always said and completely undermines what they have said. They have said there is widespread voter fraud and that Democrats are involved in it, and what this shows is that fraud is exceedingly rare. …

Supports. California Attorney General Rob Bonta said 28 out of 23 million registered voters is 0.0001 percent, and the same figure is repeated by David Becker in a government-published fact-check-style article.[1][3][4]
Supports. The California Secretary of State's Report of Registration shows 23,155,447 registered voters as of May 18, 2026, which places 28 at roughly 0.00012% of the total, consistent with the claimed 0.0001%.[2]
Context. The DOJ charged 28 people, but only 11 were arrested on the Monday of the announcement, with the remaining 17 expected to be taken into custody later. The charges are allegations, not convictions.[3][5][6]
