US midterm elections: Why California is still counting the votes
California’s lengthy count may be frustrating to candidates and anxious voters. But election officials say the process is designed to make it as easy as possible for people to vote and ensure every ballot is accurately counted Sacramento: California delivered Republicans the seat they needed Wednesday to take control of the US House, but just how much of an edge the GOP will have in the chamber remains uncertain as the state’s seemingly drawn-out vote count continues. The tallying itself is often fast — it’s the work that must happen ahead of time that takes a while, said Donna Johnston, the former president of the California Association of Clerks and Elections Officials. Voters could also help the process move faster — mail ballots can be counted starting 29 days before Election Day, but many people wait until the last minute to turn theirs in. California’s large number of voters and congressional districts, plus all of the options for casting ballots, can lead to more waiting than in other states, Alexander said.
