“There are nearly 100 “hate and anti-government” groups in the state, including anti-vaxxers, doomsday prepper militias and old-school neo-Nazi outfits, according to the latest publicly available data …”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim that California has nearly 100 'hate and anti-government' groups is mentioned in a web search result, but the other evidence provided for this claim is irrelevant (Cambridge Dictionary, general Wikipedia pages for California, Hotel California). Since the claim is only supported by one snippet of evidence, it cannot be corroborated.
