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

However, a lot of the facility seemed understaffed when The Post visited. Workstations in rows were vacant.

There were several empty chair sections.

About 25 bins of ballots appeared ready for processing in one area where election workers review ballots that scanners are unable to automatically read.

However, no employees were seated at nearby desks, according to the NY Post reporters.

The Post reporters saw roughly 75 workers in another area where they prepare ballots for counting and open envelopes, even though the space could hold more than twice that number.

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.
