California Secretary of State Shirley Weber has announced that California has officially certified the results of the 1992 Presidential Election in California. Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton has won the state.

If CA leaders wanted to prioritize a faster vote count, these are some of the policies they could implement:

-Ballots must be RECEIVED by Election Day. If you��re voting last minute, you have to vote in person or take your ballot to a county drop off spot. Then you wouldn’t need to wait 7 days to know how many ballots are needed to count

-Only mail ballots to voters who request them…not every registered voter. This would cut down on ballots being sent to bad addresses or the chances for ballot harvesting

-Send all registered voters free ID cards & require those cards for in person voting. Do not allow same day registration. This would likely cut down on provisional ballots that take longer to examine and process.

-Cut down the number of days to “cure” your ballot if there’s an issue from 10 to 5. This would allow for a faster certification date.

This would all speed up the count.

Could all of this lead to fewer people voting? Possibly.

Is the trade off worth it? That’s up to policy makers to determine.

A reminder: the current candidates for Gov. and Secretary of State have very different views on these issues.

People ask why the CA vote-counting process takes so long.
@Elex_Michaelson of @CNN explains it clearly here.
But the short answer is the state values participation plus thorough scrutiny of ballots over speed.

🚨 NOW: A late mail-in ballot drop just came in and Republicans LOST it by a LOT, and the total votes remaining to count WENT UP

CALIFORNIA IS INSANE

California Gov ballot drop, LA, per VoteHub

🔵 Xavier Becerra: 26,434 (35.4%)
🔵 Tom Steyer: 22,025 (29.5%)
🔴 Steve Hilton: 12,759 (17.1%)
🔴 Chad Bianco: 3,449 (4.6%)

Only 55% COUNTED per NBC

California elections are a DISGRACE!

Becerra is moving toward taking 1st place over Hilton (R), while Steyer also gains

If Pappa Bear were around, he would find the absolute cheapest place to play and play there forever. The man was NOTORIOUSLY cheap, cutting every corner that he could. He would have built a stadium himself if he had wanted to. He didn't. He'd rather play at Wrigley & Soldier.

[Ron DeSantis @RonDeSantis]

Florida processes more than 10 million votes in a matter of hours.

California takes days — or sometimes even weeks — to count the votes.

It’s pathetic — and it’s corrosive to our civic culture.

Ladies and gentlemen, your first place Giants!

Just trying to stay relevant!

HOW CAN WE COUNT THE BALLOTS UNTIL WE KNOW HOW MANY VOTES WE NEED. C'MON MAN

Amazing weather today at @salesforce #CNX26 this morning. Looking forward to talking with customers and partners in Chicago this week! @messagebird

Update that now Kiley and a Republican outsider are leading CA Congressional District 6, which was redrawn through Prop 50 to give Democrats an edge.

[End Wokeness @EndWokeness]

12 hours later and California is at 57% of the vote counted and the rest can take days or weeks.

This is 3rd world shlit.

[TheRealJamesRogers @JamesRogers9827]

As a California voter, it really sucks having zero confidence in the election process.

We're the state that can track a burrito delivery in real time, but somehow can't produce election results on Election Night.

California is a Joke!!

[💥Susan Dyer Reynolds🗞️ @SusanDReynolds]

Leave it to California voters to find @MattMahanSJ — the only candidate with a successful record and commonsense — “too conservative.” @MattMahanHQ should look ahead four years and run again because if empty suit @XavierBecerra wins he’s a one term governor.

[Planet Of Memes @PlanetOfMemes]

Let's check in on California to see how the ballot counting is going.

[End Wokeness @EndWokeness]

HERE WE GO AGAIN…

NBC says "late-arriving mail-in votes" in LA could keep pouring in for DAYS to help the Democrats defeat Pratt

[Ashley Zavala @ZavalaA]

California’s High-Speed Rail Board approved two major items:

1) a $3.5 Billion contract to a single bidder to start laying track this year.

2) a controversial business plan that proposes tax increment financing, data centers to help pay for the project:

@Elex_Michaelson @KarenBassLA @nithyavraman Typical great tough followup questions from you.

[CBS News @CBSNews]

Seven properties, a Mercedes G-Wagon, sneakers worn by Kobe Bryant and a Mickey Mantle rookie card worth $1.5 million. All of these things were bought with taxpayer money.

Paul Randall pleaded guilty in one of the largest Medicaid fraud schemes in the California history – diverting more than $270 million in tax dollars.
