A Los Angeles County voter drops her ballot at a ballot drop box. Los Angeles Almanac photo.
For the last five primary elections, Los Angeles County has had to carefully process, verify and count an average of 1.8 million paper ballots (this election has exceeded 2.2 million). This is a gargantuan task and explains the time it takes to arrive at a final count. There is zero credible evidence to support accusations that these election counts are manipulated. Predictably, accusations fly only when preferred candidates lose. The U.S. Department of Justice, tasked by Washington to find election fraud, has come up with nothing. The Almanac has observed this process at the county's central vote processing center in the City of Industry and has complete confidence in the county's efforts to deliver accurate voter results.
Numbers that follow are as of June 12, 4:11 p.m. (not final numbers)
As of June 12, the county reports that the only remaining uncounted ballots are those pending voter response and signature verification. Effected voters have been notified and are have until June 24 to complete verification for their ballot to be counted. The next vote count update will be on Tuesday, June 16. The final certified count (after the deadline for signature verification) will be on June 26.
