California’s elections are never quite over on Election Day, and this year is no different. The state’s big population and its universal vote-by-mail system add to the time it takes to count the large volume of ballots counties will receive.

Southern California voters awaiting final returns from Tuesday’s primary election should expect vote totals to continue changing for several weeks as counties count outstanding ballots, California Secretary of State Shirley Weber said Thursday amid allegations by President Donald Trump of election cheating.

As the vote-count totals crawl across Los Angeles and California, The California Post visited the county’s 144,000-square-foot ballot processing facility Thursday, which showed dozens of empty work stations.
