CA BALLOT COUNT DRAGS ON: Feds Clash with State Over Voter Roll Audit

California’s ballot counting process routinely stretches days or even weeks after Election Day, largely because of how the state handles vote-by-mail. Millions of ballots are sent to voters, and any ballot postmarked by Election Day can still arrive up to seven days later and be counted. Officials must also verify signatures, process provisional ballots, and reconcile records, which slows results but is designed to ensure accuracy over speed. At the same time, a growing legal fight is unfolding over voter rolls. Federal prosecutors say California is blocking access to statewide voter registration records needed for an audit, arguing federal law allows that review. State officials have resisted, citing privacy protections and existing safeguards like signature checks and post-election audits.
