California’s slow vote count stirs frustration but changes would be hard
Some call for reforms to ease the rush of last-minute mail-in ballots, but it’s unlikely they would come very quickly, or would go far enough to greatly speed counts.

Experts say there are some commonsense changes California could make to speed up its vote counts, including better funding county election offices and encouraging earlier voting. But dramatic shifts will be hard, especially before November.

"Nature always prevails."
This line stuck with me after seeing the aftermath of the largest fire in Channel Islands NP history. Officials are now starting the long process to restore this ecological historical oasis.

Welcome to the postelection vote-count slog in California, where tight races are often impossible to call even when the initial results seem clear-cut. @grace_2e @Hannahnfry

This is a fake, made up poll. I checked with Emerson and they said they are not doing another mayoral poll before the primary.

1/ At 17 weeks pregnant, Emily Waldorf was suddenly faced with a life-threatening situation: Her baby’s foot was dipping out of her cervix.
Doctors told her the longer her cervix stayed open, the higher her risk of infection.
They knew how to treat her. There was one issue…🧵

Back on the report that found NO @LACOFD failures in Altadena evacs (tho we've reported extensively about issues)
Of particular concern: it incorrectly said all west Altadena zones were evacuated at 3:25 am. But 2 zones weren't until 5:42.
After I inquried, it was updated YET

ICYMI: @LACOFD ordered another review of its evacuation decision-making the night of the Eaton fire, when evac alerts came hours after flames began to threaten W Altadena.
The findings? No failure.
Residents, experts had... things to say.

I haven't been able to talk to the report's authors, but @LACOFD said this was the only fix "findings remain the same."
Let me remind you of a finding: "By 6 a.m., the community conflagration was well underway."
And a major section of Altadena wasn't evacuated until 5:42am...

Among other problems with this AI slop approach —- that is the New York City subway.

"It’s a huge, huge win for a grassroots movement." Three months after residents began waging a campaign on Instagram saying herbicides are poisoning creeks, officials announced they are halting spraying, for now, in waterways throughout Orange County. latimes.com/environment/stor…

LA County & many Altadenans agree: now's the time to build sewer lines for the town's ~660 homes without the service.
But it costs $70M, which LA county says it can't afford.
The issue has brought new $$ worries rebuilding delays for fire survivors. latimes.com/california/story…
