which is what I figured...
California has faced criticism in recent election cycles... Why does it take California so long to count while other heavily populated states, like Florida, do it all on election day?
Lawmakers in California designed their elections to "improve accessibility" and "maximize voter turnout". The state has "systems in place" allowing voters to automatically receive a ballot at home... California started moving toward all-mail elections last decade.
In 2016, California passed a bill allowing counties to opt in to all-mail elections before instituting it statewide on a temporary basis in 2020 and enshrining it in law in time for the 2022 elections.
Two years ago, in the 2022 midterms, half the state’s votes were counted after Election Day. Slower counts have come alongside later mail ballot deadlines. In 2015, California implemented its first postmark deadline, meaning that the state can count mail ballots that arrive after Election Day.
Initially, the law said ballots that arrived within three days of the election would be considered cast in time. This year, ballots may arrive up to a week after Election Day, so California won’t know how many ballots have been cast until Nov. 12. This deadline means that California will be counting ballots at least through that week because ballots arriving up to that point might still be valid and be added to the count.
"I think folks would like us to rush and finish it. We do the best we can," Weber told reporters in when asked if her office has considered any new strategies to make the process faster and more transparent.
Wow.
