LA County Vote-Counting Facility Full Of Empty Desks Despite $336M Budget

CA governor frontrunner Steve Hilton said Thursday he would urge Governor Gavin Newsom to create an Emergency Election Count Accelerator Corps, mobilizing state personnel and rapid response teams to assist counties struggling with major ballot-counting backlogs.

“California is the laughing stock of the nation when it comes to election reporting. We are the fourth-largest economy in the world, home to Silicon Valley and some of the most advanced technology on earth, yet government bureaucrats need a month to count fewer than 10 million ballots,” Hilton said.
