The Inexcusable Incompetence of California’s Glacial Vote Count California’s vote counting process is exceptionally slow, with results taking weeks or even months to finalize. This delays are attributed to the state’s reliance on mail-in ballots and a lack of urgency in counting. The prolonged counting period fuels conspiracy theories, particularly when late-arriving votes appear to shift outcomes, and is seen as a symptom of broader Democratic incompetence in governance.
