JONATHAN TURLEY: California proves voters get the government they tolerate
California's slow vote counting process has been criticized, with the state taking up to two weeks to count all votes, unlike other large states like Florida which declare winners within 24 hours. The state's voters seem to have low expectations from their government, tolerating subpar performance and inefficiency. This has been attributed to the one-party dominance in the state, which has created a culture of passive voters who expect little from their government.
- ▪California may take up to two weeks to count all votes in an election.
- ▪The Los Angeles Clerk has an annual budget of $336 million and a $448,179 a year salary with 1,100 budgeted positions.
- ▪The state's one-party dominance has created a culture of passive voters who expect little from their government.
