FLASH! The Los Angeles Times, actually a Hillary Clinton backer, reports that not just under 3.5 million votes, as reported on election night, but 8.5 million votes were actually cast in the California Democratic primary -- a turnout of 47%. According to the LA Times article, the Secretary of State of California, Alex Padilla, concedes that 2.5 million of those votes, mostly mail-in ballots from young people and hispanic voters, or Bernie's strongpoint, have been counted, and another 2 million have yet to be counted by local county officials.

But Padilla has also suspiciously not reported on what the results were of those other millions of votes that have been counted thus far since election day. (This even though his office did report the count of early mail-in votes on election day before people had even finished voting.)

All the votes are legitimate and need to be counted -- by hand. As long as a ballot was received by the end of the day Friday, June 10, and were postmarked by election day, they are valid.
