Saving the election world from ballots behaving badly, one target oval at a time. Vote is a 4 letter word.

If CA mandated Voter ID, they could cut wait times and the number of provisional ballots they issue by 25- 50 %. That would improve throughput on Election Day, and reduce need for manual adjudication of provisional ballots, leading to quicker reporting of official results.

I’m one of the people who was working elections during the hurricanes. Votes are counted faster because of shorter/less complex ballots,requirement to transmit polling place results electronically by 7:30 pm, and we have strict voter ID. Also 13.3 million voters, not 24 million.

[Dimitri @DimitriChiNv]

@ElectionBabe Lol If Florida with 24 million people can count the votes in ONE DAY, after a hurricane plowed through the state, California can count votes for Governor in one day.

[L.A. in a Minute @LaInaMinute]

Looks like a sub-15 minute wait at any voting center in L.A. right now.

I love this. Also, it’s a very practical consideration!

[Abby Grills @AGrillz]

Only in SF is the slope of the street the polling place is on considered critical information.

[Unrig LA @UnrigLA]

We should see results roll in faster than we did in the 2022 Mayoral election. LA County Registrar settled into a new ballot processing center in 2024 & that helped speed things up a bit last two elections. Also benefit of time to adjust to shift to vote centers & expanded VBM.

JUST IN 7-term former Maricopa County Recorder Helen Purcell drops some knowledge on judge overseeing battle between County Board & current recorder: Folo Scotus' "Purcell Principle" & hold off on changes to way elections are run so close to an election. https://t.co/U6SDqO15XT

I come down harder on CA than just about anyone. But I don’t have a ton of patience for pollsters complaining about how long results take. It’s not a simple process in CA, particularly during a consolidated Top 2 primary election with new Congressional maps.

[ElectionBabe @ElectionBabe]

I’d help y’all with your CA election questions, but I’m banned and can’t reply on public TL. If you need my advice, you have to DM. I can’t reply to you otherwise.

Be nice to unaffiliated voters. Your candidate will need them one day.

My latest:

"Months of an electorate subjected to unsolicited visual, audio and postal assault with demands to care about the 2026 primary election. The latest most important election there ever was going to be...Only 21% of voters showed up to do so" https://t.co/EeN5HQFyrz

[Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk @LACountyRRCC]

Did you know? Poll workers are paid for each election they work. By becoming a poll worker, you can help ensure secure, fair and accessible elections in Sarasota County—and get paid doing it. Learn more about becoming a poll worker at https://t.co/AzJ87uwaeG

This entire situation in Fort Bend County confuses me. Was every single electronic pollbook in the county not working? Was the state/county voter registration database down? If answer to both is No, was there an eligibility hotline available for pollworkers to call?

[Jennifer Asper @j3669]

“County leaders continue insisting the issue did not impact election integrity, vote tabulation or ballot totals. But one first-time voter who spoke with KHOU 11 says he still left without casting a ballot.”

So what’s happening in PA elections this week? Glad you asked. In LebCo we’ve completed our 2% hand audit. We processed all our our military ballots&reviewed any outstanding ballot questions. The clerks are cleaning the Election Day gear and we are prepping for our RLA audit!

[OC Registrar @OCRegistrar]

Full video coming soon.

Today, OC ROV Bob Page was joined by @EACgov Commission Vice Chair Christy McCormick, Orange County First District Supervisor @SenJanetNguyen and OC District Attorney @OCDAToddSpitzerfor an on-site media tour of our ballot processing operations.

[R Street Institute @RSI]

Alabama’s new law requires local election officials to conduct post-election tabulation audits beginning with this year’s general election and continuing in future general elections. That moves the state beyond its limited 2022 pilot and begins to make auditing a regular part of the election process.

Interesting story from a University of Pennsylvania study: voting is associated with a longer life.

For anyone who had to evacuate in the Garden Grove area over the past few days : The fabulous folks at the Orange County Registrar of Voters office will be opening pop-up Vote Centers in 5 neighborhoods. Thread with information by @OCRegistrar

[OC Registrar @OCRegistrar]

ROV Pop-Up Vote Centers are continuing their journey through #OC — bringing full-service voting to neighborhoods for the 26' Primary. Yesterday, ROV held its 1st Pop-Up Vote Center for this election at Leisure World, Seal Beach, helping 70+ voters cast a ballot on location!
