I wonder who all those people standing in long lines voted for. Most of the news I watched showed and talked about the long lines and long waits for people to get in to vote. Where’d those votes go?
They haven't been counted yet.
California has over 3 million uncounted ballots.
If you go to the CNN election results page, a wide variety of states have less than 90% of their ballots counted, including New York.
Most states don't have official certified election results until late Novemeber/early December.
This actually happened in 2008 but people didn't notice - the total votes ended up considerably higher than the total votes reported the day after the election. But with the growth in mail-in voting an even higher percentage of votes are now counted weeks after the election.
