Does anyone know why there haven't been updates to the Washington state vote results?

Any idea when there will be any updates?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Yea no updates! bluestarone Mar 2020 #5

Because it is mail-in as I understand it, and it takes time still_one Mar 2020 #6

But why the 24 hour delay in counting them. Funtatlaguy Mar 2020 #7

A lot of people mailed their ballots yesterday (or maybe the last couple of days). LisaM Mar 2020 #9

I am from California, and mail ballots must be post-marked on or before election day, and received still_one Mar 2020 #10

and they are STILL counting them here in CA! mikelgb Mar 2020 #12

That is correct. California insures all votes are counted, including provisional still_one Mar 2020 #15

More important to get it right than get it fast. Mr.Bill Mar 2020 #8

Update: Washington's Sec. of State tally now has Joe up 6,800 votes as of 3:20 sandensea Mar 2020 #11

They need to be opened, the signatures need to be verified, they have to toss the ones that didn't pick a party preference, and then they count them.

They still have 300,000 ballots to count.

This info is from the State Elections website.

Turnout was excellent, almost 2,000,000 ballots cast.
