Why didn't California count their absentee ballots?

Now who told you this........????

Contrary to popular belief, California did count those 1,000,000 absentee ballots. Secretary of State Bill Jones (a Republican)has had to repeatedly state that those votes were ultimately counted. The candidates split the total by almost the same amount they split the statewide vote on Election Day.

Anyone who does not believe this can check the official website, or click on this link:

Great question, and it's one I don't have an answer to. It wouldn't change California's Electoral College votes. But, maybe, just maybe (and it looks like we'll never know) if those one million votes (and the intents) were counted, it might hurt the Vice President's claim that he won the popular vote.

Just a thought.
