The election was three days ago...why do they have so many outstanding votes?

Because there are lots of votes to count. This is nothing new, it happens every cycle.

I almost spit out my tea reading that... are you sure there are still votes still to be counted in california? why does it take that long to count there?


Also i hope if nobody minds telling me if theres a website that is still updating the count for this race.

Still 1.65 million, mostly vote by mail or provisonals.

California Dems have deep bench for 2018 and any possible Senate vacancies. I look forward to the primary.

Only thing is we don't have a primary any more. We have top two, and it's to the party's advantage to just run one major candidate.

I think every State ought to implement that top-two system.

Horrible system. The top-two systems prevents the democratic voters from picking their candidate in a primary, and instead gets whatever candidate was handpicked by the party leaders to stave off the risk of vote-splitting putting two Republicans on the ballot.

I agree. So what happens in 2018, if AG Kamela Harris and LG Gavin Newsom both seek California's top job?

The party will do their best to avoid that since that's not good with top two. There's a good chance we could have a Senate seat opening up in 2016 or 2018, though.

It rounds to 60.0%, but it looks like he'll end up just under 60.00%.
