California has one ballot counting trouble spot. Its the one run by an election denier

Fingers are being pointed at Shasta County's clerk - registrar of voters for the slow and mismanaged ballot counting in the rural county. photo credit: US Bureau of Reclamation/Wikimedia Shasta Lake in Shasta County, CA. Photographed on 11 March, 2019. In the end, it wasn't shady bogeymen stuffing ballot boxes or federal agents who caused disruptions on election night in the rural Northern California Republican stronghold of Shasta County. It was the seeming incompetence of Clint Curtis, the county's election-denying elections chief who's soon to be unemployed. Journalists, including CalMatters' reporting partner Shasta Scout, have reported numerous problems with the vote count in Shasta County, a 2.5-hour drive north of Sacramento. They reported overflowing ballot boxes, staffing shortages, workers putting ballots in the wrong bins, computer hiccups and voters arriving at their polling places to find signs saying the location had been moved. Most counties dropped initial results right after 8 p.m. [when the polls closed on election night], but Shasta didn't report any until around 10 p.m. since elections officials hadn't set up their computer system properly, leaving it as the only county in the state that on Wednesday morning hadn't finished counting ballots from those who voted in

Fight for ballot records could cost Shasta County taxpayers

Shasta Scout and CalMatters are suing Shasta County after the county denied their public records requests for a copy of a federal grand jury subpoena ordering Registrar of Voters Clint Curtis to bring more than 55,000 ballots from the June primary to Sacramento.
