For a faster vote count in California, look to the Supreme Court
California's election system is facing scrutiny as voters wait for ballots to be counted long after Election Day. The Supreme Court may soon decide on a case that could change how vote-by-mail ballots are handled in the state. With millions of ballots still outstanding, the current system is causing confusion and uncertainty among voters and candidates alike.
- ▪California allows vote-by-mail ballots to arrive up to seven days after Election Day if postmarked on time.
- ▪More than 3.6 million ballots remain to be processed and counted statewide several days after the election.
- ▪The Supreme Court case Watson v. Republican National Committee could impact the counting of late-arriving ballots.

Pratt’s lead for the second runoff spot has been slashed to just 7,494 votes, with an estimated 150,000 mayoral ballots still outstanding, and potentially more arriving with a June 2 postmark. One more update like this and Pratt sinks to third place.
