California’s slow election process isn’t about counting, but signature verification delays; this year, voters had until June 24 to fix issues. A new report from the California Voter Foundation says it’s fixable, pointing to Orange County’s “sign, scan, and go” system—where voters drop off ballots without envelopes, sign in, and get counted instantly. The foundation also recommends electronic signature curing and better voter education and equipment to speed up counts, reduce confusion, and cut down on misinformation.
