What happened: The counting of votes in California and Los Angeles elections is expected to be very slow, potentially taking weeks or even a month to complete.
Why it matters:
- Delays affect when officials and the public can confirm election winners.
- Voters and candidates in the second largest US city face extended uncertainty.
MNN Take: The slow results are due to California's extensive mail-in voting system and thorough verification processes, which prioritise accuracy over speed.
