Guy Benson Critiques California's Election System Following Primary Elections

Guy Benson, a columnist for the Washington Examiner, criticized California's election system after the state’s primary elections, stating, "It’s pathetic, this is how they roll in California." He noted that, a week after California's June 2 primary election, there are still hundreds of thousands of unprocessed ballots, including over 2.6 million related to the governor's race. Benson expressed disbelief at the situation during an appearance on Fox News’s The Story with Martha MacCallum, highlighting that California's mail-in voting system has faced scrutiny for delays in processing ballots, particularly during high-turnout elections. He compared California's situation to Florida's reforms following the 2000 presidential election, arguing that the delays undermine public trust in the electoral process. Benson stated that many other places manage to deliver election results more efficiently, suggesting that California's approach is a choice made by its political leaders.
