## Resource

California’s election counting marathon—often stretching over a week—is sparking national debate: is the state’s painstaking pace preserving accuracy or eroding trust? With nearly 90% of ballots mailed in, the process is inherently slower and more costly, leading lawmakers to defend the current system as essential for fairness. While some counties invest in tech to speed things up, others lack funding to keep pace. The tension between accessibility, accuracy, and efficiency remains unresolved in the Golden State.
