CA Democrats want election results faster, but say any solution hurts voters
California Democrats and Republicans want faster election results, but Democrats oppose changes that could disenfranchise voters. The slow vote count, largely due to high mail-in ballot volumes, has drawn criticism from President Donald Trump, Nate Silver, and the New York Times editorial board. California's secretary of state and election officials emphasize accuracy over speed, citing funding constraints for county election operations.
