Vote-counting in CA

[BlueMTexpat]

10. Evidently they counted votes today too.

As of June 18, 2016 at 1:00 pm. Hillary's total is 2,513,709 and Bernie's is 2,053,342. The percentage margin is unchanged. http://vote.sos.ca.gov/returns/president/party/democratic/ If this continues, she could possibly equal her 2008 vote count when she also won the CA primary.

Gary Johnson (LIB) has 17,237 votes and Jill Stein (GR) has 10,134. Both candidates also seem to be receiving some of those uncounted votes. The same goes for candidates in other parties, including the GOP. There are also quite a few more candidates in the Dem race than Hillary and Bernie alone. Each of them also continues to receive votes.

The wild rumors about rigging and fraud in CA are just that: wild rumors. Too many people who have never belonged to a political party and/or have never voted before seem to find the whole process mystifying. I agree that voting in the US is more complicated than it needs to be, but it only takes a couple minutes on Google to find out the truth. Too many would rather repeat rumors than search for the facts.

Comparing yesterday's numbers with today's, it looks as if the absentee and provisional votes are breaking for Hillary in slightly greater numbers than those for Bernie. More than 10,000 were added to her total today while Bernie's total was increased by less than 9,000.

The vote counters are likely off for the weekend, but I'll check again on Sunday to make sure that is true. If it is, I won't provide an update before sometime on Tuesday to see how Monday's counts have changed the totals.
