As of the close of the business day Wednesday, California election officials had counted a little over half of the votes cast in Tuesday’s primary election for governor. It could take days, if not weeks, until the election results are final.
A full day after the polls closed, the election was “too early to call,” according to NBC News. Steve Hilton, a former Fox News host endorsed by President Donald Trump, led Xavier Becerra, the Biden administration’s bumbling Health and Human Services secretary, by 2 percentage points — 27.6 percent to 25.6 percent. Billionaire climate change cult leader Tom Steyer was in third with 19.8 percent of the vote.
The top two vote-getters move on to November’s general election.
When will we know the final tally? Who knows? As The Federalist’s Hayden Daniel quipped, “Colombia, a mountainous country infested with drug lords and guerrillas, is counting its votes more efficiently than the state of California.”
California is Exhibit A in the argument to Make Election Day Election Day Again.
