They don't hate California elections because they are slow or bad.... [View all]

They hate California elections because they are so accurate and so good.

In a huge state like California, where an estimated 80% of the people vote by mail, it is a gargantuan task to verify and validate such a huge number of voters.

Yes, they are slow. But they are accurate.

They give people the right to vote by mail right up to election day, so long as it is postmarked as such. And what difference should it make to anyone, who's being honest about it, whether they find out tomorrow who won the primary, or if they have to wait three weeks to find out, after every legal vote is counted. After all, the general election is not until November.

They hate California because they are so hard to defraud. Also, they hate California because they do not tend to vote red. They are generally very blue.
