If the ballot has not been signed it is not a valid ballot.

CA is lost, may as well let it secede and establish itself as it’s own country at this point...Give corporations 24 months to relocate or live with the consequences.

We just moved from a California House district where we have had the choice between two DEM candidates (and no GOP candidate) for the past three elections. Does it really matter who won?

Two months before the election they declare the liberals the winners. Saves time.

in some cases it’s a dem running against a dem. So, it;’s case of which dem won.

this link explains the ‘certification’ better than I can. Mostly, what you see election night is, first - mail-ins that arrive before election day. Second, early returns from districts (during the day the county election office collects ballot boxes from polling locations; these are tallied as they come in). Mail-in ballots that are taken to polling places on election day are counted the next day. Certification is making sure the number of votes equals the number of ballots issued, etc etc, see the link:

It’s really quite simple. By default, the letter “D” comes before the letter “R” in the alphabet. California Republicans fall for it every time.....

They have to wait until they count all the votes from all the street poopers.  (They are setting up special portable voting booths, to facilitate the street pooper voting initiative, and to enable the street poopers to vote more easily, while taking care of business...)

       

(Sadly, my prediction is that the results of their voting there are sure to stink.)

I thought you knew. They count all the Democrat candidate votes.

Period.

California’s candidate/party registration regulations and election result need a serious look at because they in effect are what the Nazi’s used in Germany during Hitler’s time to reduce political opposition. It’s the reason California winds up with two one party (democrat) candidate for a state or federal public office at a general election.

I think a person has up to 8 days to sign their unsigned ballot. The point of my post was that on election day they count the polling ballots first and mail in ballots may take up to 30 days to count, process and certify all ballots.

That’s an easy one .
Jerry Brown,Nancy Pelosi and Diane Feinstein decade who the winners are.
