Why does California take so long to count ballots?
In short, the stateโs leaders have prioritized expanding last minute options to vote by mail over a quick count.
Latest round of ballots in LA County led Nithya Raman to gain ~3,000 votes on Spencer Pratt in a single batch
Raman took 31% of the 28,718 ballots, Pratt 21%, Bass 38%.
Santa Clara County Late Mail
Candidate โ Votes (Percent, Difference from 6/2 Votes)
๐ต Xavier Becerra โ 7,826 (37.4%, +8.7%)
๐ต Tom Steyer โ 5,844 (27.9%, +7.2%)
๐ด Steve Hilton โ 3,777 (18.0%, -6.2%)
๐ด Chad Bianco โ 550 (2.6%, -2.7%)
Big gain for Steyer in this drop. It's not quite enough to catch up, but even if this held it would put him very close Hilton. He needs later mail to keep moving his way.
At any rate, we have a race on our hands and a call today or tomorrow is pretty much impossible.
