In the 2020 presidential election, Florida reported the results within a few hours of poll close of more than 99% of ballots cast. California, on the other hand, had almost one-third of ballots uncounted after election night, making almost daily updates to its count through Dec. 3, a full month later. This illustrates the stark contrast in election reporting efficiency between the two states that stem from different priorities set by state officials.
The choices made by state lawmakers and election officials significantly shape how elections are conducted, impacting the speed of result tabulation and the security of the election process. This discrepancy is evident in how different states, like Florida and California, approach the management of votes, and reflects their differing commitments to efficiency versus thoroughness in ensuring election accuracy.
