Just after the primary elections in California early last month, the L.A. County Clerk's office prepared everybody for a long process:
Many voters choose to return their Vote by Mail ballot on Election Day. Those ballots are valid and deserve the same level of care, security, and verification as every other ballot cast in the election.

The length of time it takes California to count its votes more than raises some eyebrows (though Dem-friendly "journalists" are usually there to do their thing).
However, California officials proved that they can move at the speed of a snail when counting ballots, and the June 2 election was certified on... July 10.

They count and certify ballots about as fast as Gavin Newsom's getting that high speed rail project completed.

If they were trying to sow doubt in election results in California, what would the libs who run the state do any differently?

At least they got the primary certified before the midterm elections take place in November, which California should have fully counted by next spring.
Meanwhile Maine Democrats managed to confirm and then remove their candidate for United States Senate in one week's less time. https://t.co/1RHEDBxsKK

The Dems can move fast, but only when properly motivated.
