1. At this point, I'm starting to wonder

A month since the election, how is it that California is still counting votes?

[ucrdem]

2. Because we actually count all those early and provisional voters

instead of just chucking their ballots and stealing the votes.

11. Thank you!

I wish all states would make voting fair, honest,
and accessible.

13. All states count early and provisional voters.

Most are much more efficient at it than CA.

[musicblind]

12. Because the procedure is grossly underfunded and understaffed.

In fact, that's the case in most states.

It is amazing how much we claim to value democracy but how little money we are willing to spend on it.

16. Determination of the validity of provisional voters, then counting their votes too.

This is happening everywhere, not just in CA. Yesterday's big bump was from NYC.

3. Hillary won the popular vote by 2.8 million.

4. more than 2.8 million n/t

8. "Close to 3 million vote win"

17. We are still counting, so maybe??? Who knows how many ballots are outstanding and where?

Early on my napkin calculation was 2.5 million plus. Three million will surprise me, but i admit I'm not sure enough votes remain to report. Phillie added 20,000. Has LA reported? San Fran? I don't know if another big bump is left, but a Dem increase equaling the last 24 hours will surpass 3,000,000.

5. Gotta say...

This high a number makes it highly suspicious that some blue states would turn red.

Add Russia to the equation and it certainly looks like a stolen election.

7. Yep!

[Kotya]

6. California has become so solidly Democratic

That I don't think a GOP candidate can ever hope to win the national popular vote again.

Clinton's growing lead here is massive; nearly 4.3 million.

9. Plus they don't do voter suppression in CA.

10. RIP one man, one vote.

[Sunlei]

18. city people 1/35th of a vote and falling.

[Tarheel_Dem]

14. That is unheard of in modern times.

[Coyotl]

15. Now at 2,841,862 margin, and 65,746,544 versus 62,904,682 means a 2.085% margin.

With NYC results in, the Clinton margin surpassed 2 3/4 and 2 4/5 million in one leap, and for the first time crossed the 2% threshold. I wasn't expecting that after the CA results slowed. We still have 13 states w/o official results.

Here's yesterday, before NYC reported:
