A new executive order by Gov. Gavin Newsom means final presidential primary tallies won't be due until April 24.
The final results from California’s presidential primary might not be known until late April, after Gov. Gavin Newsom gave local elections officials additional time to tally the votes due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The latest tabulations prior to the governor’s actions showed 313,739 ballots yet to be examined across the state’s 58 counties. Almost one-fifth of those ballots were cast in Los Angeles County, where a series of problems with ballot marking devices and electronic registration tablets hindered in-person voting in many locations on election day.
Incomplete returns show Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders with more than 35% of the vote in the Democratic presidential primary, with former Vice President Joe Biden in second place and garnering 28% of the vote. Under Democratic Party rules, the two men would both be awarded some of the 144 delegates up for grabs based on the statewide total.
. Other Democratic hopefuls, even those who have withdrawn from the race, could end up winning some of those delegates once the vote is certified.
