A month since the election, how is it that California is still counting votes?

In fact, that's the case in most states.

It is amazing how much we claim to value democracy but how little money we are willing to spend on it.

This is happening everywhere, not just in CA. Yesterday's big bump was from NYC.

Early on my napkin calculation was 2.5 million plus. Three million will surprise me, but i admit I'm not sure enough votes remain to report. Phillie added 20,000. Has LA reported? San Fran? I don't know if another big bump is left, but a Dem increase equaling the last 24 hours will surpass 3,000,000.

This high a number makes it highly suspicious that some blue states would turn red.

Add Russia to the equation and it certainly looks like a stolen election.

That I don't think a GOP candidate can ever hope to win the national popular vote again.

Clinton's growing lead here is massive; nearly 4.3 million.

With NYC results in, the Clinton margin surpassed 2 3/4 and 2 4/5 million in one leap, and for the first time crossed the 2% threshold. I wasn't expecting that after the CA results slowed. We still have 13 states w/o official results.

Here's yesterday, before NYC reported:
