Give it a year and Clinton will have 100% of the 100 million votes from California.

Ca is counting legally the legal votes from legal citizens. It takes a while to count 14 million plus votes and verify that they are legal votes. Red states that don't care about the people don't take as long, because their method is to make people wait in line while they show ID cards and do all the verification at the polling place.

I went to vote in person early at the registar. I was surprised the huge parking lots were full, and I asked an employee walking along about why the county building was so full, and he said "it's the election." Lots of people work at the registrar's office to make sure the vote is conducted and counted properly. I'm sorry you live in a state where they don't do this, but don't blame California, and please don't believe a word that our stupid president-elect says; he's a total dufus, a scumbag and a dirt ball. And those are kind words for him.

Today the Chron had Bay Area stats on vote by county. Trump was in the 15 - 30% range in the 9 counties. The most conservative was Solano, that was 30ish. SF and Alameda in the teens, most in the low 20s.

I reckon SoCal was similar. Hell, Clinton won Orange County. Freakin' Orange County! There were enough #NeverTrump Reps and Indies there to garner that result. OC does not have enough Dems for that result.

Warren just cannot accept the nauseating, visceral reactions that many here in CA had to Trump. We have a real divide now between the Far West and many other places.

I live in a sanctuary city which voted 10% Trump, in a state which voted 30% Trump.  I know all about the nauseating, visceral reactions to Trump and also how irrational they are. Heck, I spent hours talking my dad down.
