VOTE COUNTING IN CALIFORNIA; THE LONGEST IN THE WORLD? - #954

Michael Savage takes aim at California's slow vote-counting process, arguing that the state's weeks-long election tabulation has become a symbol of deeper political dysfunction. Comparing California to places like Florida, Germany, India, and Argentina, Savage questions why one of America's largest and most technologically advanced states takes so long to produce final results. He also reflects on his appearance on Gavin Newsom's podcast, where he says he pressed the governor directly on the issue and received what he describes as a vague "word salad" response. From there, Savage broadens the argument into a larger critique of California's political leadership, taxes, population loss, and the exodus of residents and wealth to states like Florida, Texas, and Nevada.
