California's Slow Vote Count in 21st Century

In a high voter turnout election, such as the governor's general election of 11/4/14, there are usually 13 million ballots cast in California and 300,000 ballots cast in San Francisco. As of this morning, the morning after the 11/4/14 election, California had counted 5 million ballots and San Francisco had counted 162,000 ballots, including the 77,000 absentees it received before 11/4/14. As of 11/5/14 after 4 p.m., California still is showing only 5 million ballots in its County Reporting Status and San Francisco is up to 172,000 ballots, which means San Francisco counted only 10,000 ballots today. This is the 21st Century Computer Age. There is no excuse for such a slow count, unless someone has something to hide. Prop G, San Francisco's anti-speculator tax, hangs in the balance, and so do our homes.

While it is true that the election is not certified for 30 days, until December 4, 2014, it is also true that those ballots belong to those who cast them and we have the right to an accurate and speedy vote count.

The State of California has billions for prisons, but just cannot seem to allocate money for the 58 elections departments in the 58 counties in California and to the Secretary of State to timely and accurately count our ballots. Please note that both houses of the California Legislature are super majority Democrat and the governor is a Democrat too. This is the same Legislature and governor that REFUSED TO REPEAL THE ELLIS ACT which is used by speculators to cause massive evictions in San Francisco. So now, we are waiting for a complete vote count on Proposition G, San Francisco's anti-speculator tax. So far, with only 172,000 votes counted out of 300,000, Prop G is 74,000 Yes and 88,000 No. We know that the workingclass votes are the missing votes, for the most part, as most of the workingclass who vote, vote on election day.

We can only wonder what will happen if Prop G fails. Are the Democrats prepared for millions more homeless people? How about exercising the government's right to eminent domain to take over all the empty housing in San Francisco and the rest of California and permanently house the homeless in these empty homes at taxpayer expense? That's what our tax dollars are for; not to build prisons or promote the police state.
