As of Wednesday evening, the California governor primary remains too close to call, with Republican Steve Hilton currently in the lead. However, Democrats Xavier Becerra and Tom Steyer are narrowing the gap as more ballots are counted. California's election process is known for its drawn-out vote counting, especially with millions of mail ballots still being processed. Many of these ballots, which must be postmarked by Election Day and received by June 9, are being counted alongside provisional ballots that require verification. Counties will continue to report results, typically in the evening, but the schedule varies by county. Notably, Democratic candidates often see improved standings as more votes are counted, a trend that may play out again this year. The final results must be certified by July 2, leaving the outcome uncertain for several days.
