Vote-counting in CA

[BlueMTexpat]

5. I believe that the final verified

count is due on July 8. There is a 30-day period to count absentee and provisional ballots.

The thing is that since CA has been running elections like this for some time, I am sure that they know what they are doing. But I really don't know how they do it. I speculate that each county supervisor likely looked at the votes counted as of June 7 and calculated that the uncounted votes remaining for that county would not affect the June 7 results, even if ALL uncounted votes in that county went for Bernie.

Either that, or they based their projections on the likely numbers of uncounted votes for Hillary and those for Bernie based on some kind of percentage allocation, considering the votes that they had counted on June 7 and the locations where the uncounted votes were coming from. Or something completely different from my speculations ....

Had the percentages been very close on June 7, CA would likely have delayed the projections of a winner.

But there is no reason for any sane person to believe that any shenanigans are going on.
