California by default mails every registered voter a mail in ballot. That ballot is considered legally cast if it is postmarked by Election Day and arrives with 7 days of Election Day.
So yesterday was the first day that election officials had all the ballots.
This is good for voter turnout and preventing the Chiu scenario but bad for timely reporting of results.
