Sacramento readers picked a name for a potential MLB expansion team, while federal prosecutors announced election fraud probes after presidential claims. Sacramento State also replaced its provost following pushback over a telework policy.

Here is a quick digest of today’s top stories:

• Sacramento Bee readers voted the Sacramento Solons as their top choice for a potential MLB expansion team name in West Sacramento, with the historical reference earning 40 of more than 130 votes cast. The name harkens back to a former minor league team based in Sacramento from the late 19th to mid-20th century.

• Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli announced his office has multiple election fraud investigations underway in coordination with the FBI’s Los Angeles office. The announcement followed President Donald Trump’s claims, without evidence, that Democrats were stealing votes in the primary election.

• Erika Cameron was replaced as provost at Sacramento State after just 15 months in the position, effective June 1. Longtime faculty member Mary Maguire, former dean of the College of Health and Human Services, has assumed the role. Cameron faced pushback in January after her office informed staff that telework agreements would be discontinued, requiring employees to work in person five days a week.
