California Voting Ends Tuesday; Results Delayed by Slow Count

California's primary election voting ends Tuesday, but final results may be delayed due to the state's mail-in ballot processing system. - Nearly 17% of registered voters had cast ballots as of Monday, with higher Republican turnout expected.

- Governor Newsom urged county officials to count ballots quickly to combat misinformation. - Assembly Bill 5 reduces the counting window from 30 to 13 days for most ballots, but exceptions remain.

- Placer County's new 'sign, scan and go' system cuts post-election processing by three to four days. Experts say the long count ensures ballot verification and counters fraud claims, despite concerns about trust.
