At least 1.6 million, possibly 2.4 million of the remainin democrat votes still to be counted in CA.

At a post-election forum on Thursday in Sacramento, Padilla said the final turnout number won't be known for several days. "We don't know how many ballots were postmarked on or before election day that are in the process of arriving, still in the window to be processed and counted and added to the tally," Padilla said.

66% of the 5 million votes on June 7th were democrat (3.5 to 1.5 mil). There are 2.4 unprocessed votes with more being reported (8.9 million in total, that's 4 million potentially or 1.6 million unaccounted for), both democrat or republican. With that you have about 2.4 - 4 million times 0.66 = 1.6 - 2.4 million democrat votes to be processed.

From the Secretary of State website as of Friday at 3:21pm Clinton has received 188k votes to Sanders 151k, even though Bernie flipped three counties, including Santa Barbara:http://vote.sos.ca.gov/returns/maps/president/party/democratic/

Greg Palast who was spewing out lies that the provisional ballots are not counted

All ballots are counted regardless of the margin

I don't know how other states do it, but this is how California does it

And the LA Times, The Independent, and the numerous reports that say otherwise. After all the time I put into the post you're quite rude. California has 17.7 million registered voters and according to you, the 5 million already counted is the final total. That's a 28.2% turnout. What are you talking about?

all the ballots wouldn't get counted, as long as they were registered to vote, submitted the ballots within the correct time frame, and didn't try to vote twice

Also, the LA Times NEVER said the votes would not be counted

How is this, you are rude for calling me rude

Hillary's lead. In fact, in terms of sheer number of votes, she gained ground.

Is probably closer to 1.3 million than to 1.6 - 2.4 million.

That's because we know that of the 2.4 million unprocessed ballots, a significant number (possibly around 40 percent) will have been cast in the republican, libertarian, green, peace and freedom, and American independent primaries or cast in the democratic primary by voters who did not make a selection in the presidential primary, or were cast by NPP voters who did not elect to vote in one of the presidential primaries. And we know that some portion of the unprocessed ballots will be deemed invalid.
