Laughing at how that’s still more than Alaska’s total ballots for this year.

Are they using an abacus?

tonyz86.bsky.social•93 days ago

Embarrassing

bpaige.bsky.social•93 days ago

What’s embarrassing Tony? That we count every ballot? That we have nearly 30 million voters & our ballots count if mailed on Election Day. We also had 69 things to vote on. We are now curing ballots & provisional. We don’t certify until Dec 12. And we don’t give a damn what you think

tonyz86.bsky.social•93 days ago

The pace is embarrassing.

kelly4126.bsky.social•93 days ago

Too long !

ktmacg.bsky.social•93 days ago

What is taking so long?

audie84.bsky.social•93 days ago

You know one day California might become a swing state. And this will be a massive problem when that day comes.

airamlebasi.bsky.social•93 days ago

Nope! Not happening.

americanmegalo.bsky.social•93 days ago

Yo, those two Congressional races are killing me

tomt23.bsky.social•93 days ago

California needs to get their shit together

carriejacobson.bsky.social•93 days ago

There are 26,000,000 registered voters in California, and the total population is that of 22 States combined. It takes a while to count votes comparatively. :)

riverah.bsky.social•93 days ago

May I ask why that matters? Wouldn’t we also have more people counting? Is it that we have a higher percentage of voters/population or higher percentage of mail votes/ population?

carriejacobson.bsky.social•93 days ago

Caused primarily by moving from in person to mail in. Verification and the count.

donnaherzing.bsky.social•93 days ago

And there are so many things to vote on. I think my ballot was 5 separate pages.

nobadcoffee.bsky.social•93 days ago

Sure but the UK population is larger and Canada is the same as California and both are done in a matter of hours. Are there like four people doing it?

carriejacobson.bsky.social•93 days ago

It would seem to be. However, the majority of California vote by mail. Verification slows down the count.

sleestakcousin.bsky.social•93 days ago

So you are saying the more people there are, the longer it takes to count? Try to think about that for just a few seconds. How quickly were NY, FL, and TX votes counted?

carriejacobson.bsky.social•93 days ago

Different systems and a third of the population.

sleestakcousin.bsky.social•93 days ago

Yeah, bad, different systems. People mail in ballots everywhere now. CA is not the only one.

bpaige.bsky.social•93 days ago

And our ballots are accepted if mailed on Election Day. We also WANT people to vote. Your ignorance is palpable. The votes being counted now are cured ballots & provisional. People have time to fix their ballots & we don’t certify until Dec 12. And fyi.. we don’t care what you think.

tomt23.bsky.social•93 days ago

so I usually don't do this but imma do it this time. I know California counts mail in ballots that are post marked on election day. I'm glad there is wide access to the vote. that said the process clearly still needs improving. also this isn't X so go scream at someone else.

bpaige.bsky.social•93 days ago

And. We had 69 items to vote on. A huge ballot.

bpaige.bsky.social•93 days ago

I’m not screaming at all. If you knew why say stupid stuff. We have until Dec 12.. and we will be done when we are done.

tomt23.bsky.social•93 days ago

fuck I had an opinion. my mistake

bpaige.bsky.social•93 days ago

Never a problem with me.. but that was not a very educated comment. I’m sorry if I overreacted. I’m very protective of voting in my state. Have a good night

uwmoose23.bsky.social•93 days ago

Wtf

danishgirlusa.bsky.social•92 days ago

Mine still hasn’t been processed

ronilynnwrites.bsky.social•93 days ago

😳

iconoclast88.bsky.social•93 days ago

My ballot in Maryland was just counted today. But I voted by mail, albeit delivered in person on Election Day.

leeg30067.bsky.social•93 days ago

Wow

erincon23.bsky.social•93 days ago

Too bad they can't affect the presidential election.

epluribus.bsky.social•93 days ago

👀

mikeintlh.bsky.social•93 days ago

Doesn’t matter. We should have had them counted election night.

sanjoseatty.bsky.social•93 days ago

Knock off another 100k or so from Trump's lead.

a-random-bluesky.bsky.social•92 days ago

They are really terrible at this, aren't they.

amarademachado.bsky.social•93 days ago

I’m still praying for Harris-Walz.

aurorawhitson1.bsky.social•93 days ago

Holy shit!

seasofsalish.bsky.social•93 days ago

Washington has proved to be the Bluest state this election. I would usually be thrilled and over the moon.

Unfortunately, this means Trump will target us. I am so sad for my kind, decent, and beautiful state

paulthomask80.bsky.social•93 days ago

Vermont is

mysticmojo.bsky.social•93 days ago

Yeah...Chump's always had an axe to grind against our state. Hopefully, Ferguson may have some tools in his toolbox, to help fight the onslaught of fascism. 🌲

seasofsalish.bsky.social•93 days ago

Trump is sneaky. I fear he has destructive plans no one will know about until it’s already done.

I do have great trust in Ferguson. He takes no prisoners. And has no fear. Thank goodness we elected him.

mysticmojo.bsky.social•93 days ago

I have a glimmer of hope, too, knowing that Newsom and Kotek will form a governor's alliance with Fergy, to push back against Trump's insanity.

avracadaver.bsky.social•93 days ago

My son lives there. He will go after Washington, California and Ny. For sure.

brklynchik.bsky.social•93 days ago

Oh don't worry they are going to come after NY and CA with a vengeance. NY will take many hits...we are bracing for it.
