Why California Takes So Long to Count Votes
California's vote counting process is slow due to its size and mail-in ballot rules, which accept ballots postmarked by Election Day and received up to a week later. Delays have intensified amid rising election denier rhetoric, including claims from President Trump, and have impacted recent primary results for governor and congressional races.
