California’s sluggish vote counting ripped across the political spectrum: 'Extremely embarrassing'
California's vote counting process has drawn criticism from various political figures due to its sluggishness. Many voters may not know the results of key primary races for days, which has raised concerns about the state's election administration. The lengthy counting is attributed to California's reliance on mail voting and a thorough review process.
- ▪California's election results may take days to be known due to its mail-in voting system.
- ▪Critics, including Rep. Kevin Kiley, have labeled the state's vote counting as embarrassing and indicative of broader issues.
- ▪The state's law allows mail-in ballots to be counted if they are postmarked by election day and arrive within a week after.
