Clerk Note: The situation of whether or not votes were counted may be different today, but the fact remains that they were not counted when it matter: in the run up to the Democratic Primary winner. The party nomination was stolen, and already hints at how the general election will get stolen as well.

Why California Still Hasn't Processed Over Two Million Ballots from the Primaries; Bernie Supporters Scratching Their Heads

Many Bernie Sanders supporters are holding out hope that by the time California finishes counting its 2016 Democratic presidential Primary ballots, he might emerge with a victory, a photo finish or something closer than the double-digit loss to Hillary Clinton announced by the Associated Press a week ago on election night.
That’s because out of 9.2 million ballots cast across California, 2.3 million remain unprocessed, according to the Secretary of State’s tally as of 5pm Monday. As 58 county registrars and their staffs keep counting ballots across California, the balance in at least three counties has shifted from an election night call for Clinton to emerging slight leads for Sanders. Santa Barbara, located on the central coast, is the highest-profile example.
While many hardcore Sanders supporters—such as National Nurses United executive director Rose Ann Demoro—are not giving up, there are reasons why the vote count is taking several weeks to complete, just as the slight shift in results in Sanders’ direction does not look to be sizale enough to change the primary’s outcome.
