California's Vote Count Delay: What's Taking So Long?
TL;DR Summary
California's slow ballot counting process is delaying the final results of the U.S. House of Representatives election, with over 5 million ballots still unprocessed. The delay is attributed to the state's thorough verification process for vote-by-mail ballots, which includes signature matching and opportunities for voters to correct issues. California allows ballots postmarked by election day to be counted if received within seven days, contributing to the extended timeline. The state has 30 days to finalize results, with 11 congressional seats still undecided, impacting the balance of power in the House.
