Estimated 418,600 Ballots Left to Count in Orange County, CA
At least 418,600 Orange County ballots were left to count as of Wednesday evening, and “tens of thousands” more are estimated to be still traveling through the mail, so it will be days if not weeks before the outcome of a number of close races are known.
“This volume is crazy,” said Registrar of Voters Neal Kelley on the number of mail-in ballots his office is receiving.
Uncounted ballots account for an estimated 40 percent of the total ballots cast, and include vote-by-mail ballots dropped off at the polls Tuesday or received through the mail, provisional ballots and paper ballots.
That figure, which is just the Registrar of Voters’ best guess, doesn’t include vote-by-mail ballots postmarked on election day that may still be en route in the mail. Kelley estimated those mail-in ballots will number in the “tens of thousands.”
So far, 664,915 votes have been counted.
