Almost 1 million ballots in CA left to count

20 days after the election and there still remains 958, 311 votes in the state of California not yet counted. According to Secretary of State Debra Bowen Calaveras County completed their count on November 21, 2012, yet many counties have yet to complete their counts.

With approximately 12 million ballots cast in this last election the amount left to tally equals approximately 10 percent of the total ballots cast in California. This has led some to term election day as election week or election month. Some counties did complete their tallies yet did not report to the state in a timely manner, while this may have no effect on races with large margins the slow processing may have a negative effect on those closer races.
