To the editor: Sure, California takes longer than different states to depend ballots, as a letter writer points out. There are three causes for this.
First, mail-in ballots are accepted as much as seven days after the election so long as they’re postmarked by election day. In Texas, mail-in ballots should be obtained by Election Day or, if postmarked on election day, the next day. In Florida, mail-in ballots should be obtained by election day.
Second, California’s inhabitants is bigger than Florida by 17 million, and bigger than Texas by about 9 million.
Third, California encourages voting. Florida and Texas work to restrict voting, thereby discouraging turnout.
Elevated voter participation is price a delay in receiving outcomes.
