Latest update on CA vote-counting

As you know, CA has until July 8 to certify the June 7 primary results. So vote-counting continues.

I stopped posting updates after the new DU rules, in case they would be seen as provocative to some. But I have seen several posts since the new rules repeating too-easily discredited CTs and/or posting articles hinting (or outright stating) that the CA results will be otherwise than those on June 7, i.e., that Hillary will not be the winner of the CA primary.

So I am posting the following facts here. People can draw their own conclusions.

As of June 24, 2016, 7:25 p.m, the results in the Dem primary (the top two candidates) are: http://vote.sos.ca.gov/returns/president/party/democratic/

Hillary Clinton 2,632,238
Bernie Sanders 2,203,663

The County Reporting Status page shows the following as of June 24, 2016, 7:18 p.m.: http://vote.sos.ca.gov/returns/status/

Seven counties are at status "CCC" meaning that ALL votes in those counties have been accounted for and no further updates will be provided. Those counties are: Alameda, Alpine, Butte, Calaveras, Glenn, Lassen, and Tuolumne.

Vote-counting continues in all other CA counties.

Unprocessed Ballots Status

It typically takes weeks to process and count all of the ballots. Elections officials have approximately one month to complete their extensive tallying, auditing, and certification work (known as the "official canvass&quot .

Most notably, voting by mail has increased significantly in recent years and many vote-by-mail ballots arrive on Election Day. In addition, vote-by-mail ballots postmarked on or before Election Day and received by county elections officials no later than 3 days after Election Day must be processed. In processing vote-by-mail ballots, elections officials must confirm each voter's registration status, verify each voter's signature on the vote-by-mail envelope, and ensure each person did not vote elsewhere in the same election before the ballot can be counted.

Other ballots that are processed after Election Day include provisional ballots (processed similar to vote-by-mail ballots), and ballots that are damaged or cannot be machine-read and must be remade by elections officials.

The Unprocessed Ballots Report (PDF) features unofficial county updates on the number of outstanding ballots that still need to be processed during the official canvass. This information is voluntarily reported by county elections officials and may not be complete.

State law requires county elections officials to report their final results to the Secretary of State by July 8, 2016. The Secretary of State then has until July 15, 2016, to certify the results of the election. For the most up-to-date vote counts before the statewide certified results are published, contact a county elections office.

some very useful facts other than the usual CTs!

It seems as if I also misspoke about the certification date. Thanks for setting me straight. July 8 is the final counting date.
