re: #293 The Very Reverend Battleaxe of Knowledge

I just don’t understand why it takes California so long to count votes. My ballot was verified and accepted the day after it was received, and we knew our total within a couple of hours on election night. King County, WA is second only to Los Angeles County in the country in number of ballots handled.

Because CA insists on the manual validation of the signature on the absentee ballot against the registration record.

It’s not the election day votes that are taking this long to process.
