Is Schiff calling people to "find me the votes" so that he can go into the run-off as the leader?

I can't imagine that Barbara Lee and Katie Porter voters will switch go Garvey, so will most likely be Schiff in November.

But I can see the Democrat party holding back the election results until Schiff can regain the lead to avoid embarrassment and giving Garvey the ammunition to run as the "front-runner."

it always takes a month for California to count all its votes. Always. This is nothing new. It shouldn’t take so long, but it does.

California allows mail in ballots to arrive by the Friday or Saturday after the election to be counted. A majority of Californians vote by mail because they want to. It’s popular. So every signature must be verified, etc etc etc.

The state is not Delaware sized and total votes are more than the population of over 30 states in a general election.
