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

President Donald Trump also aimed at California’s slow count with a social media post.

“The Dumocrats are at it again! They are trying to STEAL THE GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA PRIMARY, AND THE MAYOR OF LOS ANGELES, PRIMARY, AWAY FROM TWO GREAT REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES. Here we go with the very late and massive numbers of MAIL IN BALLOTS,” he posted on Truth Social.

“There is a lot of misinformation floating around about California’s election — including from the President,” the post read, while sharing an explainer video from CNN on the counting efforts, Gavin Newsom’s office posted on X in a response.

“And yes, for the record: we wish the votes were counted faster, too,” the post concluded.

The voter rolls in Los Angeles County exceed 5.8 million people, more registered voters than the populations of most US states.
