Counting anywhere between 2 to 4 million ballots, the County of Los Angeles counts more ballots than any other single county in the United States. All ballots are gathered, signature-verified, and tallied at the county's massive 144,000-square-foot ballot processing center in the City of Industry. To ensure every ballot is gathered from every corner of the county on election night, the Registrar-Recorder's office coordinates an operation of helicopters to fly ballots in for counting.
